On a cold February night in 1972 I, along with 3 mates went down to Villa Park to watch them play Santos. Santos came to this country to play “friendlies” for a set price to earn money. The playing surface wasn’t bad for the era, only about 4 inches deep in mud. Pele played a deep role (whoa...

Johnny Williamson. I was trying hard to remember who it was, thanks for that!

In case the terminology police pounce! Hidegkuti didn't use the term "attacking midfielder" he said "half back"

Les McDowell had tried it with the reserves at the end of that 53-54 season having seen the Hungary game (I was told a good number of years ago). It was tried with the first team next season using Revie in the deeper roll. Didn't work for ages but came good later in the season when the FA cup...

Managed to get a message through to a rag mate of my son in law (he was at the game). I told him because Utd are so poor these days I get very little enjoyment out of hammering them He believed me :)

No I agree that you know there only 3 subs

Good

Easily verified, take a look at Janes, Military Services and Airforce. All there.

It's actually just rounded up/down to nearest whole figure. Factually there are 76,000 ground troops 29,960 RAF/support personnel 29,136 Naval personnel The Royal Navy has 14 vessels, 3 destroyers as mentioned and the other surface vessels are frigates, a/c carriers and 3 subs. 1 still classed...

1 Typhoon fighter cost £110 million and the changes needed to Marham and Conningsby to service them cost equally as much. The RAF has 137. Soon adds up!

Fine. You appear to have made your mind up.
