I sympathise. Six years ago fell over on ice (sober) broke right ankle in two places, had 2 ops and got a pin and a rod holding it together. As I walk a lot and go up and down ladders some days fluid builds up on the ankle, bloody painful. Ironic though all the years window cleaning,playing...

Did you fall over and damaged your hip !

Can honestly say from the first game my dad took me to watch in the sixties at Highfield Road I was hooked. Loved it all and even though we've been through it all over the decades, still love my football club. I said in the pub yesterday we are going up this season coming I just have that...

I'm jealous as never saw them. Nearest I've got is seeing Limehouse Lizzy tribute act, but they are good.

Seen some great bands. The line up at the Bath Festival in 1970 was awesome with Zeppelin top of the bill. But for me seeing Big Country twice at the Hummingbird Club in Brum stands out. Small venue but they were outstanding. Saw the Mission there too and they were good. And me and a mate were...

As I've got older for some reason drugs scare me more than anything. I'm a bit hungover today but I'll be fine soon, but drugs for me personally just don't agree with me. I dabbled a bit in my 20's but I always felt really ill for days after. And me and a pal took a load of magic mushrooms and I...

He used to be a builder and made enough to not work now. Plus a bit of villainy here and there !

A mate of mine drinks every day ! He's 64 as well and about 9 stone wet, how he does it is beyond me,plus he smokes too. His day revolves around pubs, seven days a week, never out of them. I like a drink but can lay off it I can go a month no problem, he thinks that's weird !

I make sure I have a meal before drinking, and a glass of milk.Works wonders. But as it was warm yesterday and the match was on I did sink a lot. We went in 3 pubs though,Spongate, Town Crier, and Cov Cross. Great atmosphere in all of them and many City fans in them too. Off it now till weekend !

But I still like a nap in the afternoons, and after a shift after window cleaning, it's gone from 15 minutes to half an hour !

Been out again. Met a few lads in the Spon Gate pub 12 oclock. Sobered up after a great day ! Paced myself after 10 pints. They are impressed that a 64 year old can still last the pace. That's what window cleaning can do for you. And a woman in the group who's 45 said what's my secret ? Lucky I...

Waiting for Otis to say how about Craig Short !

Googled Setters. He was six foot and a wing half. Thought he was a centre half !

Maurice Setters ?

Paul Scholes only 5'6" tall. Didn't think he was that short !

By the way Puskas was only 5'7" tall.

I wrote an article once on the Magyars especially Puskas. He was short and stocky and didn't look like an athletic player. The press labelled him fat and England players ridiculed him, but what a footballer he was.

Fair point Harry. But I saw taller defenders struggle against the HUD and the same with Speedie too.

I've always been amazed at how some people get on in a chosen profession, while others miss out. You see or hear about someone doing well while others struggle etc, when the talent is about equal. I'm currently reading a little book by JK Rowling, she basically tells how she got rejection after...
