Just glad I didn't get started on Barnsley's 'Skinner' Normanton, then..!I've learnt a lot about the old days from this thank you, the main thing being that they had crap nick-names back then ;-)

Thompson did have "Sit down Pinocchio" sung to him when he was part of Liverpoool's coaching staff.

Funnily enough, he did! The early 60s was when the 'catenaccio' system took off (mainly under Herrera at Inter but many other Italian teams were already using it) In fact Greaves spent less than a year at AC Milan before coming home (he couldn't handle the restrictions of the 'ritiro' system, which meant players had to prepare away from home with the squad for every game) but he still managed to score 9 goals in 12 games against the meanest defences on the planet, a better return per game than even his English record! Quite a lot of English clubs experimented with the 'libero' behind the back line, too but it never really took off here.. You're right, of course, English football has always been a bit 'gungo-ho' and it took the arrival of Wenger and the rest to shake things up tactically, as well as encouraging players to change from the technical/skills/conditioning points of view..Bet Jimmy Greaves didn’t have parked buses week in week out and playing against top tactical managers.

So the Boiled Bollock was asking this morning who England would have as a front three if Kane wasn't fit for the Euros.
A female Leicester fa rang in and said Sterling, Sancho and Abraham would be good with lots of pace and energy.
BB response was "No Rashford?? No Greenwood?? - Good grief" and cut her off.
