Charlie George. Rebellious and gloriously unpredictable. His winning goal in the Cup Final ( 1971 ) which won the double, was memorable for the celebration. Flat on his back, with arms raised. Scored a hattrick in the European Cup ( v Real Madrid ) and also in the Uefa Cup. From a fan, standing...

You are right. I sit there sometimes thinking...' c'mon, c'mon...its not that difficult '...and yet they seem on auto-pilot. Its as if they are completely thrown and can't readjust. As an aside, I never remember Bristow being flummoxed by anything ( sharp as a razor )

I was there and had completely forgotten that. You were right, the guy was miles out. Reckon it was near the halfway line. It was a beauty, sailed straight in.

Indeed. Mullery got BHA from the third tier to the top level ( and kept us there ) in three seasons. He would have done it in two had it not been for three other exceptionally strong sides in Tottenham, Saints and Bolton and certain last day shenanagins. In more recent times, Lambert and Adkins...

Most players these days go the conventional....180...180...60...57...24....When John Lowe hit the very first televised nine-darter ( and I think won himself £100,000 ) he went...180...180...51...54....36.

For me, the jury has never been out. His time at BHA was good without being outstanding. A Division One title and consolidation in the Championship was not on a par with Adkins or Lambert's achievements. To suggest he could go on to be one of the greats is risible. You mean on a par with Ramsey...

He gives you that sort of warm feeling everytime you hear his name.

Going to be difficult selecting anyone isn't it? Nothing of too much merit springs to mind.

The following spring to mind..... 1) Kit Napier v Chesterfield. After an almighty melee in the goalmouth where 8-10 players were all taking kicks at the ball, the goalkeeper eventually emerged with ball in hand. He assumed that the ref had blown for a free kick and as everyone retired upfield...

They will go the Belgium route again. Guaranteed.

I'm arguing that footballers are totally inappropriate role models. Kids dream about being footballers. It is hero worship, idolatry. Just the same as having pictures of film stars and pop stars on your walls. It is a fantasy world. Family and schools teach kids the rules of life. How you are...

Thats all I keep hearing lately, in the light of the publicity over Ched Evans. People in the media banging on about him being a role model to youngsters etc. The trouble I have with this argument is that I don't hear it being addressed at other sportsmen/women. Cricket, Rugby, Boxing...

Can't see a sell-out meself....around 27500-28000 is my guess. Three home games in 8 days...another big factor...travel costs etc...affecting longer distance fans, of which there are many.

I know that club....just off the seafront...near the Sealife Centre.....velvet curtains.

Yep...no problems here this morning ( Google Chrome ) ....tickets purchased....had to do the ' assign owners ' bit like you and book each ticket individually. Got up early...allowed time for purchasing....job done.

Sounds like ebola to me.

They are welcome to him. A poor man's Craig Noone.

Well of course he's not a top class manager...there's only a handful of those in the world....just as there is only a handful of really top class players. Hughton is solid, experienced and dependable, which is exactly what we want after the Nordic Nightmare. A very balanced contribution from our...

I can only assume that he was playing well within himself for the U 21 and deliberately ' not putting himself about ' I watched film of him after he joined us and to say he was tigerish in the tackle was an understatement!

Oh thats just bloody cruel. He was on the ' FAC 50 greatest moments ' programme recently saying that he should have fired it across Bailey into the far corner. Well its a bit late for that now, pal. To this day it still haunts me. I know in my heart of hearts that it is the only FA Cup Final I...
