Team of British soldiers during World War I, somewhere in Northern France, 1916.

 

[Timbo]

Went to The Homes Of Football when it was a shop in The Lake District and there was some amazing ones in there, particularly one of Beckham taking a corner at Old Trafford, I’ll try and find it.

Never seen it before but it’s brilliant and shows how we can all dream about playing in the cup final. Look at the keeper’s concentration (he’s in the wrong place), how the kids know to use their hands to protect something (but get it wrong) plus of course the kid with the hoodie!

Love that picture, mainly because I had him has first goal scorer £40 at 16/1 crazy odds very happy boy that day.

You sure you’ve got the right game? Beckham wasn’t first goal scorer. He didn’t even score England’s first that day.

Ha funny how my mind is going your right, I know it was a sunday because we went to monkey world on the Saturday and camped over, and missed the game stuck in traffic getting into London and heard him score on the radio (against Ecuador 2006 I had to look it up)so it was a complexity different game your right..

The 5:1 Scoreboard of England vs Germany.

Chelsea's Ron (Chopper) Harris brazenly flaunting the trappings of his wealth in the early70s. While today's multi millionaire footballers' status symbols include super cars, diamond encrusted rolex watches and luxury mansions, Ron (Chopper) Harris's decadent extravagance extended to a wheel barrow,* a plug-in kettle and an upright hoover.

and a rather nice leather manbag

The manbag has clearly seen better days as it has a badly split seam at one end. I did however overlook the aluminium teapot. We mere mortals could only dream of owning an aluminium teapot in the early 70s.
