Remember him nutmegging a player and pat him on the head as he went past him.

He certainly knew how to take the piss

I think Stan Gibson is in the black coat looking away from the King

Probably wanted to grab the players and warn them not to wreck his lawn

I remember him making a fool of Gordon Taylor then giving him a hand jerk gesture as he passed him, can't remember the game though.

V Birmingham , Taylor was dragging Marsh off after the game, ' shouldn't be doing things like that to a fellow pro '
