My favourite comment about David Connor came from Alan Ball. He was followed all over Maine Rd by Connor and after the game checked behind him to make sure that Dave was not getting on the coach as well.

In1967-68 Dave Connor was tasked with close marking Ball in the game at Goodison. He not only did that brilliantly but also found time to score the opening goal. The game finished 1-1 after Ernie Hunt scored a ridiculous miles offside equaliser. Even he stopped playing until he realised the linesman hadn't flagged him offside. That shit decision could have cost City the title but fortunately it didn't.

All these years I thought it was at our place. You will be telling me that they had a good team at the Swamp next. :-)

I think that a rugby crowd (especially for an International match) usually shows the utmost respect for the opposing team's national anthem.
The Haka is a cultural offer from the All Blacks or Island countries (e.g. Samoa,) to engage in combat.

I thought the Samoans pushed their luck in the first game in terms of the proximity of their little pre-game dance routine and were lucky not to have caused a bit of handbags. But they got the balance right yesterday.

It is an usual precursor to a match, so why not enjoy it and admire it's individuality ?
Cannot imagine many of the English front row wanting to Morris Dance though ?

The one in the rugby league game last week went a bit too far. They were actually walking up to the England lads and pressing their heads into the England players!

Didn't see the Rugby League International.
But, a RL crowd is very different to a Union one...
