I guess it's the same principle as 50p head, which we used to say if you couldn't head the fucker.
 
One of my all times favourites was Keith Curle. A true footballing centre half. I once picked up some photos from Foto Processing (younger posters look it up) and I got the wrong ones. They were Keith Curle's birthday party prints. Nothing outrageous to report I'm happy to say. All very sedate and family orientated.

White absolutely did Bruce for that penalty. It was like Bruce was running through treacle. We all went absolutely mental at the scoreboard end. For me, Derby days like that, in their own way, feel pretty much as good as winning a trophy, even if they aren't as important.
 
A good player for us but a potentially bright international career was torpedoed by him being picked at right back for his one and only cap. He had a shocker that night, but that wasn't his fault and he was never picked again.
Typical England tactic of playing guys out of the position for which their form earned them selection in the first place. He was also unfortunate to end up playing in a City team which was on the slide and with the club virtually skint.

Up here in Carlisle his management style has created divided opinions amongst the locals. He has been accused of chopping and changing the team too often, even after a decent performance, and this season they tailed off badly after getting themselves within touching distance of the play offs.
Listening to him being interviewed on local radio is rather tiresome IMHO but managing a club as badly run as Carlisle United can't be easy. There is a constant whiff if bullshit about his interviews but maybe that's down to what appears to be going on behind the scenes and him having to toe the party line. Some of my Carlisle mates don't rate him as a Manager, and say that the football is crap but since I spend my match days at the Etihad I couldn't comment on that. What do they expect in League Two ?

Does meeting Earl Barret at showcase cinema 25 years ago and getting his autograph on the back of a mates packet count.

On curly wurly went to watch city train at platt lane and after went to the ground for autographs, quinn, curle and some others came out, kieth had a fag hanging out of his mouth, this bloke mid 20's asked him if he should be smoking being an athlete. Curle just turned round and told him to mind his fucking business signed his book and walked on, all in a friendly way mind the lad just laughed.

An autograph on the back of your mates packet ? Condom packet or mates packet ?
 
Always took a great penalty; right foot side footing it in bottom right hand corner. I think he only missed one at West Ham, chose bottom left instead and miklosko saved it. Great memories as a kid
 
I was working in Bristol in those days drove back that afternoon was back on site at 8 the next day, M5 was rammed with Rag coaches all giving me abuse with city scarf hanging out of the window. Was it rearrange that game?

Not at Cardiff away he didn't.....!! Sure he missed there. Was a long gloomy day that day, in the FA Cup...
 
Absolutely loved him as a player, so classy and calm on the ball. I wish our centre-backs of today could be as composed as he was.
