Sir Bobby Charlton

[wilf tranter]

Bobby Charlton was asked if the 1966 side would have beaten Iceland
- Yes 1-0
- Only 1-0?
- Be fair, most of us are in our 70's

Is it ground-hog day?

Was quite amusing the FIRST time I heard it but now everybody is posting it thinking they're the first to do so

..and sadly not all are still with us. Gordon's eye might prove tricky too.

Adapted Don Bradman quote.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I thought it was Sir Donald Bradman who actually did say something similar when asked how many runs he would score against the England bowling attack in the 1990's and why so few.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Think it was what his test average would be in conversation with Steve Waugh.

Did Bobby Charlton actually say that or did someone make it up? Anyway, this one is well documented: Shankly on Finney from The Guardian 15 February 2014: Shankly's response to being asked in the 70s whether Tony Currie compared with the Preston legend. "Aye, he compares all right," Shankly rasped. "But Tom is getting on for 60."

First time I heard it tbf. Should I miss out on a gag because of being less dedicated to reading all the NSC posts than others?

Of course you don't repeat the same shit gag over and over again
