Allan Clarke on the current City team.

[LongsightM13]

They were a good team but also nearly men who were as famous for silver medals as anything
Bullies and thugs when it suited but also a weak mentality when things weren’t going for them
Clarke was also an abject failure as a manager

I always hated him as a player he came across as a real snide. That ridiculous interview confirms it. As for Leeds they could kick fuck out of teams back then. If they played us now they'd get battered.

He was -and he fitted right into that shithouse Leeds Team who IIRC effectively introduced Shithousery into English Football. Literally everyone hated them as the old song goes and rejoiced when they endlessly flopped at the final hurdle re: Titles/ Bayern in 1975. They were undoubtedly cheated in the latter but the vast majority of English Fans couldn’t give a shit (in an era where you would normally want the English sides to win -eg Dippers in 1977)

Who?

Who?

You're old enough to know :p

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Has he been looking at his diaries again?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Was surprised to here he was still alive , but it does appear he is dead from the neck up

 

[yankblue]

Any average league 2 side today would likely beat the ever living shit out of any team from the 70s

 

[Gingers Dad]

Typical "in my day" bollocks. And English people out there still wonder why the national side has won sod all for 58 years.

Every pundit and co-commentator spout this sort shit every week.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Old Sniffer Clarke hey. I defo want some of that shit he's been sniffing!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Old person thinks it was better in their day shocker.
