Reminds me of the Grace heard at many sporting dinners Otis - 'O lord and saviour of mankind who turned the water into wine, please forgive these sporting men who will promptly turn it back again'

Torino. For many years I worked for a company headquartered in Turin. Juventus has for a long time been the more successful of these 2 Turin clubs, but I would rather follow the fortunes of the underdog. Also their history is very proud and almost unique, at one time providing the majority of...

But at least it's Magners and not Carling Equine Urine :)

The glass may be half full but sadly there's a bloody big hole in the bottom of it

Good choice, solid chassis and then the styling of the coach builder. Wish I had one tucked away in a barn. Also the many hundreds of individual coach operators around in those days. National Express and bus deregulation have alot to answer for imo.

Don't recognise any of the players but the coach looks like a Daimler CV. Yes folks, there are bus and coach spotters within our ranks.

My missus likes a good hock, don't know where she's going to get one though

Sadly OSB it's Savers discount store here in Crewe, never seen them there before though. Could always pack half a dozen in the car and bring down to next home match. Had a look on their website, they have a branch in Cov on Cross Cheaping but doesn't look like they sell alcohol there.

Went in Savers discount store this morning and they were selling bottles of Manns Brown Ale for £1 each. Bottles were a bit bigger than I remember, maybe about three quarter pint size.

Should add I've also got fond memories of the 'old' Molineux. Once played in goal there in the mid 1980's at a time when one new stand had been built, but the Waterloo Road Stand, South Bank and North Bank were still there. The South Bank was absolutely massive and I glanced back at it...

For anyone interested in old or lost grounds or even individual stands and terraces, there is a fascinating web page linked to the Football Ground Guide website: http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/old-british-football-grounds-and-stands.html My own favourites are The Den and Caithkin...

Isn't she Pussy Galore??

Put your foot down with a firm hand Daz. I always have the last words in our house......"yes dear" ;)

Never made it to Nuneaton or Bedworth on the lash i'm afraid. Once got as far as the Black Bank in Exhall as a young lad with my grandad. Very partial though to a well kept pint of Bass.

Wouldn't trust the author on it though........a Coventrian who supports the Vile?? Pah!

If you can remember Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, then Ted Cassidy who played Harvey wouldn't have taken any crap off anyone. If anything though about 6 inches too tall. Go with Clint Eastwood as well.

Ha it's even worse than I remember it. Who would have thought the Davenports ad would make an appearance on SBT?

Lol, the advert always came on during Star Soccer on Sunday afty's. The old bloke reminded me of Stanley Unwin. Could well have been Mr Davenport, certainly don't think he acted for a living

Didn't have the home delivery but I can remember that third rate TV advert from years ago " beer at home means davenports, thats the beer, full of cheer"......ending up some silly old twat saying "Cheers". Christ I can't get the bloody tune out of my head now.
