Youve dislodged a few memory cells. A long time ago Gordon West was a big name as the goalie for Everton a bigger team than Liverpool who might even have been in Div 2. So there was a touch of glamour about Everton and Gordon coming to Maine Road.
City got a free kick just inside the Everton half in front of the scoreboard end. Step forward Bill Leivers, now City's second oldest surviving player, hard as nails but a gentle Sunday School teacher.
He took a shot from about 50 yards at Gordon West. He didn't score but the crowd was still buzzing as City got another free kick in almost the same place. This time the crowd were expectant but there was no goal despite another rocket shot.
My memory is fading as l recall one shot being brilliantly saved by West and the other beating him all ends up but hitting the bar yet l can't remember which came first. My memories might be wrong but the drama of the duel between goalie and ex-coal miner remains. Perhaps someone else will remember better.
Longsight M13 might not remember Leivers but l daresay he knows the little church on Beresford Road but not that a City captain used to preach there.

I’m the same mate regarding city memories, But I do remember big bill walking through platt fields on his way to Maine road before a game, our selves having walked down palatine road via Wythenshawe.

We went boating in the lake and Dave Ewing was doing the same. How times change.
My mum said Mrs E was common as she was rather loud.

No but he's a Liverpool fan and always wanted to play for Liverpool and his dad was a season ticket holder , its a pre-requuisite for all their players , KDB apparently was a Dipper fan when he was young and easily led , i fear the attraction of the cult could tempt him to play for the cheeky chappies at Klanfield. Klippety could spend all the money he has made on selling academy players to sign him, he might be a £100m short though.
 
Never heard of this before?

I don't listen to the anfield wrap. Redmen. Or whatever you are angry at.

Playing out of position is a necessity sometimes. I seem to remember a team in the English top flight that played their best defensive midfielder as centre back last season.

City has a better squad. And depth. Any way you look at it. It would certainly be possible to upgrade Milner. No argument there. But at the same time it's pretty nice to have a player that can do a decent job as left back, right back and midfield. Sometimes you have to settle with what you've got.

I'm talking about a spot in the squad, btw. I'm not even interested in convincing anyone if it has been a success. I'm just pointing out the way Klopp feels about filling the squad. He rather have Jones, Elliot or Williams in the squad then have two or three proven, first team backups.

I am a Dortmund fan. I don't read English media. But I'm sure you can give me lots of insight and "facts" about the Dortmund Klopp era.

Call me a sceptic, but I suspect Robertson will have made a full recovery by next weekend.

For once, I don't blame them for not wanting Robertson to play, with the way their defenders are picking up injuries. But I would much prefer if they were honest about it and requested withdrawal of their player.

Whatever happened to the rule about injured players not being allowed to participate in their club games if they are injured for an international?

Don’t get me wrong, I think this whole international break is a farce so don’t really blame them either. Hopefully Sterling has done the same thing.
