Boris Becker: 2.5 year prison sentence

Apologies his may be more due to his previous.

It will be because of the sum involved. That is the main feature in any sentence for financial crime that doesn’t involve egregious breach of trust or exploitation of the vulnerable.

True. The one I knew did it for 20k. I was at Fulham when Davies scored and we lost 5 - 1. St Patrick's Day 1984.

I was at Maine Road on Boxing Day 1985 when he flicked the ball on for Clive Wilson to score the winner against Liverpool!

Great atmosphere that day. The Kippax went mental when we scored.

Clive was absolutely class. Should have achieved so much more like Dave Bennett and Roger Palmer. All proper City.

It was less of a flick on and more of a shite attempt to beat the keeper which rebounded for Euclid to nod in. How they didn’t beat us that day is still one of life’s footballing mysteries.

It was a flick on that fooled the Liverpool defence as much as it fooled you.

Fool.

I always liked Clive Wilson, top fella.

Liverpool fail to break down City defence​

Liverpool gained ten corners to City's one, but the most important statistic, of course, was the one goal City achieved in a game which saw Liverpool dominate from start to finish. Johnston and Nicol combined well on the right and MacDonald worked prodigiously in midfield. The Reds simply could not penetrate the City back four.

Clive Wilson scored for City after 61 minutes, the ball rebounding off Bruce Grobbelaar from a Davies shot. The score was against the run of play, but Liverpool's finishing was so inept that they hardly deserved to win, despite all their fluent approach work. The only consolation for Liverpool was Manchester United's 3-1 defeat at Goodison.
