I know that , I think , is why I am quite calm now when players go. That did me I bibbed like a baby when they went. I even filled in a form at my school for it to be called Gary Owen High School when they were changing its name from Sharston I lost out to "South Manchester " never got over it haha !I have to agree..we had it twice in one go. Two brilliant players...why?????????
Went with SWP and Bishop on page 1. Since then, David White, Michael Hughes, Tony Coton and NDJ have all been good calls but SWP was the worst for me. I was on holiday in Norfolk when he went and it put me in a bad mood for a few days.
I reckon Mark Lillis would give him a run for his money, especially if you take Bishop's second stint into account.
What team was that? I played against him in the Champions of Champions, he was rapid!!Played with his brother for many years and he was impressive enough. Gus that is!
He also looked like Rod Hull.Mark was a big blue and went to st marks school lane Didsbury. Comes from a huge family of blues.

I know all that. His cousin worked at my dad's shop in Moss Side 30 years ago.
