I agree - the only manager that could juggle, whilst riding on a unicycle. How could you hate somebody with such talent?
Mark McGhee
An everlasting memory of him was a midweek evening game, cant remember who the opponents were, but it was pouring hard with rain and he dived and headed a goal to a ball that was about 12 in off of the ground and the centre half, as they were then, attempted to clear the ball with his boot but Alex beat him to it with his head. Unfortunately his style of play would not be permitted by the nit picking refs now.
'Twas good to watch though eh? I saw AD shoulder charge the Bristol Rovers goalie into the back of the net at Eastville in 1970 (and then score twice) - really marvellous scenes.
Do you remember the battles between Dawson and Phil Parkes during the extended FA Cup replay saga with Walsall?
Gary Sprake says in his autobiography that Alex Dawson was absolutely terrifying to play against if you were a goalkeeper.
Don't foget the backheel against the Gibraltar XI, I think Freddie Goodwin was a good manager
Finally said:Sorry to be pedantic but wasnt Barry Rees a left half as was in the old terms not a left back. Didnt Mel Hopkins play left back, we also had Joe Kinnear at right back but I think that was a little later.
