I'm going Thursday so hope there's some left ? If I can get more than one I will. Told it's down to availability ? Be gutted if they're all gone !

On the subject of keepers all goalies have made errors. Premier League to non-league all have made clangers and cocked up, it's part of their job it seems. David James nickname was "Calamity" but the record books show him as the best ever clean sheet keeper in the Premier League. I've seen...

I've been in touch with ticket office by email. They told me to bring my Stoke City ticket, and I'm allowed up to 4 tickets for MKDons. That was two hours ago. Told they are available on Thursday, so told them okay I'll pop in.

I'm going to write an article for Late Tackle football magazine,who I write for during the season, on Tommy Lawrence the Liverpool keeper who passed away recently. I'll try and include Arthur as he sounds like a real character. I often sneak Cov players and games in to my articles !

Listened to Belfast Child by Simple Minds again,first time for years. Brought back memories of seeing them perform the song in the 90's at Milton Keynes Bowl. The arena was packed but it became hushed when they started singing it and was a highlight of a great concert.

He wore a cap if I recall just like Bill Glazier did. A lot of keepers never bothered with one, but I'll always recall Glaziers red cap. If you look at old pictures of keepers in football books,many wore cloth caps !

My dad used to shout from the Spion Kop when Arthur was in goal at that end " Hide your valuables " at which those stood by us would laugh. Now I know why !

Just heard on the radio what a shock to say the least. What a player. Very sad news indeed.

On the subject of keepers how about Les Sealey as the craziest ? And as a kid we had a goalie called Arthur Lightening who hailed from South Africa. My dad said he was a burglar ! He got done for some theft charge I think, but I reckon my dad exaggerated it a bit ?

Every Sunday Arsenal fans hijack Five Live phone- in and moan and whinge. I wish Wenger would just call it a day as its got boring listening to it all, and with Ian Wright taking calls from Arsenal supporters keep calling him a legend etc, it makes you vomit. A season in the Championship would...

I can go back to Bob Wesson !

Stelling is a Hartlepool fan and well off I imagine. But I recall Port Vale fan Robbie Williams saying he wouldn't financially help out his beloved team when they were in need of money. So just because a celebrity has money, don't mean they'll help out.

We've had some great keepers over the years. Glazier, Sealey, Blyth, Westwood to name just a few. The great managers like Busby, Clough, Shankly, Ferguson, always built their sides from the back starting with a keeper. Emphasis these days seems to go with a striker first when a manager is given...

As a bloke aged 63 and although still reasonably fit and in decent health, I keep going to matches because I love football and my football club, but let's face it I don't know how many years I've got before I pop my clogs. So if I stopped going I'd be sitting around wasting precious time and...

Bet you stood with me and other kids with our autograph books outside Highfield Road,and was there for pop and crisps !

I find older City fans like myself tend to just keep on going to matches, and leave the off field stuff to the younger supporters ? Obviously we all want SISU gone but won't let them or anybody else stop us from watching a club we've been following for decades. I get more stubborn and just say...

Just treated myself in a Bell Green charity shop to 3 CDs and a football book. Simple Minds : Glittering Prize. Stereophonics : Best Of titled : Decade In The Sun. And a compilation CD 25 tracks. 79 pence each. The football book is called : The Golden Age, black and white pictures etc covering...

Fast Eddie Clarke of Motorhead has passed away aged 67.They're doing a tribute on Planet Rock on now. He was in the original line up.

I wonder how much it'll be on the train on the day ? Last time I went it was reasonable, but rail prices have risen ?

Many years ago I cleaned the windows in a Blackpool Bed and Breakfast after I was asked what I did for a living ? I got a lovely fry up for that !
