Zico or Eder from the Brazil 82 team for me. The footballs used nowadays make it far easier to put spin, swerve, curl and pace on it as do the boots they wear.

Agree. And what a stupid idea to pick the lad. Surely they knew he wasn't a Reading fan.

Bloody hell! Some people just can't keep Wasps out of a thread no matter how hard they try.....

That weren't the trick though was it? Thought Hughes was Bellamy's replacement? We just never replaced Aloisi.

When did Robinson first become 'hands on' at the club?

Food for thought definitely. Whilst I think Sisu acquired an entirely salvageable situation that they fucked up Royally, the outcome you describe had Richardson retained the reigns is very probable. McGinnity was an easily panicked Buffoon, prone to mystifying decisions, exhibits A & B being...

Half time Orange?

You worked with Alan Partridge?

Errr, quite remarkable!

We played Liverpool a few weeks earlier at Anfield where Boateng made his debut, giving a fairly innocuous performance. Forward 3 or so weeks and he turns in one of the best midfield performances I've ever seen. Loved the way he got under the skin of self styled 'Guvnor' Paul Ince, who could...

Sandy Robertson. Having pulled out of a deal to sign Chris Marsden due to concerns about his fitness, Phil Neal plumped for he. He was to be our midfield maestro, pulling the strings and providing the flair and creativity we had been dismally lacking up to that point of the season (93-94). I...
