1966 Players

[User removed 4]

Is anyone else getting just a little bit bored with seeing them continually popping up in the papers now the world up is close ? i just think they should take a bit of a back seat.


PS scotland obviously dont have this problem

I saw geoff hurst a while back selling autographed pictures to disinterested punters at lakeside. it was f***ing tragic. this was in his heartland too.

when they show all these sky adverts that make them out to be national heroes i always think of poor old geoff sitting on a stool outside tie rack looking like he wants to do himself in.

enjoying the world cup in england means having your bullshit filter on full blast these days.

If our so-called "golden generation" hadn't turned out to be more interested in getting rich, hitting people in clubs, giving tours of their clubs to people for backhanders and generally pissing it up the wall, we might have won the world cup since 1966. Not the media's fault in my view. But agree it's getting a bit tiresome.

I was hoping this might be a thread about the likes of Dave Turner, Brian Tawse, Brian Powney and Kit Napier.

Yes. Tedious. Wise words there, bushy.

No, not at all.

One of them was the speaker after one of the Albion's Championship dinners. Dullest after dinner speech I've ever heard. Anyone remember who it was?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Geoff Hurst has dined off it since 1990 when football became popular again. Good luck to the bloke - it is not down to him we have not managed it since. But seeing him in an M&S advert (with Gordon Banks, Martin Peters, and Roger Hunt) this morning does make you think enough may be enough. But who can blame him.

He used to pull pints for me in his pub outside Stoke back in the day.

 

[house your seagull]

there was a programme or article about the players and what they all do now.

the main twist was that they earned very little in their careers in not many of them suceeded in managerial terms.

i remember they said that gordon banks doesn't speak to the press unless there's a fee.

like spanish, i too have seen geoff hurst looking completely dejected, selling his autographs at the ideal home show.

TSLR got a picture with him holding the mag last year. he was opening a bookies on London Road, no-one turned up except us.

Cohen.

everybody just talked over him, it was cringe worthy, dick knight had a go when he came up after!

Then again, can you imagine any of todays retards doing afterdinner speaking. They're lucky if they can string a sentance together as it is.
(not that they'll need to as they'll live off their ridiculous wages they earn today, unless they p*ss it all up the wall!)

 

[The Spanish]

all this they never earnt enough bollocks winds me up. i bet if you were an ordinary bloke in 1966 you would have given your eye teeth for their money.

just because they didnt become multi millionaires eating diamonds on toast for breakfast doesnt mean they were stitched up. we really have an warped idea of success in this era.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yes I am, bushy! I'm even more bored of them piping up about team selection. Last week they had Hurst BANGING on about who he would play up front. Who cares what he thinks?

Neil Ruddock does it quite successfully

Is that true? What a LAUGHABLE crock of shit.

Funny thing about this though is that the current Kit Kat advert for the World Cup is being shown in Scotland. Hardly going to drive sales of Kit Kats there.

So was I....Wally Gould,Norman Gall,Jack Smith,Johnny Goodchild et al!!

The advert could involve David Beckham sticking them in every orifice of William Wallace and it still wouldn't effect the sales of a product containing saturated fat in Scotland.

TSLR got a picture with him holding the mag last year. he was opening a bookies on London Road, no-one turned up except us.

I was going to mention that - I had a day off work that day and was walking home from town along the scuzziest and most deserted bit of London Road shops (now that is scuzzy) only to have a young girl rather desperately come up and ask me if I wanted to come into a scuzzy-looking bookies and meet Geoff Hurst. I made my excuses.
