He comes from Bermuda and was a regular centre forward goal scorer for us.

When you read the article it say a pervert thinks he proved the case that he worked for City. He certainly worked for Crewe but lve not seen any court case for them.

A leg of lamb would be too much for a Burnley ticket the way they played this season

You don't see many black sheep in that Burnley.setup. Makes you wonder.if it's deliberate when you compare them with the rest of the football league.

Bring back the farthing and thrupney bit.

When I was a lad, the corner shop sold sweets, loose, in shoe boxes.
Any thing for a Farthing in box 1 -eg Blackjacks
Anything for a Halfpenny in box 2 -eg Gobstoppers
Anything for a Penny in box 3 - An almighty selection to chose from.

Pocket money was 1sh (5p). 6d to spend, 6d for PO saving stamps.

Penny Spanish. Don't know where they got that name. Licorice Sticks - chewing on a bit of a twig. Pocket money supplemented by taking empty bottles back.
Whatever you bought most shop keepers were very patient waiting whilst you made these enormous decisions, tapping your chin with.one finger, never sure why.

'I find myself enraged when I hear his self-serving drivel': Simon Jordan SAVAGES Gary Neville and calls him a 'hypocrite' over his views on the Super League and independent regulation, claiming they lack 'any real substance'

O-Oh - I'm in agreement with Simon Jordan again..............

During WWII they had to import a lot from there.

Coltsfoot rock was another favourite of mine as a kid, so our choices were to chew on a twig or try and break a rock hard bit of stone.

You try telling youngsters that, today and they won’t believe yer…!!

Yeah, with a stick of cheap gum in there with about 5 cards, the anticipation bubble of getting ones you hadnt already got burst by getting a full pack of swapsies.

Standing em up against a wall to flick other cards at, with the winner taking all.

Not knowing the names of any refs(except for one or two),
not knowing the names of any club owners(except one or two),
not knowing the names of any journalists,
but best of all...........................unbiased commentators, how things have changed.

Those were the day marbles and conkers!

The 90’s kids be saying the same in 30 years time like the 50’s the 60’s were for people.

Fucking bbc football website- Klopp ‘I won’t be answering any questions on Steven Gerrard”, Bbc sport “he’s on form again today”, yeah fucking hilarious

Hope Villa fcuk him up

I love thrupenny bits

I saw what you did there.

Cockney rhyming slang alternative to Bristols.

Well I've learned something new about United creating history - their way of recording attendances was the origin of the phrase 'bigging it up'.
Strangely, although the media are fully aware of this practice they take the opposite action and 'play it down'.
.

Think it all started by counting Bobby Charlton ticket tout sales twice. Once for the tickets he was given then again when he resold them :-)

BBC Sport - Article on Club Crypto Tokens. Fans spending millions on controversial crypto. So far, across the five major European leagues 24 different clubs have launched or are considering fan tokens, including 8 Premier League sides. However, some clubs, such as Manchester City, also sell digital collectibles known as NFT’s.
Can’t help themselves can they?

Rags are big on NFT's

Bring back those 1970’s big thick football player cards! Not the stick in album flimsy ones! Remember holding around 10 and it was like holding thick pack of cards.

I was around 9 year old and my primary teacher caught me in class looking at my cards. They got confiscated until the end of term the bastard.
Had to start all over again.
Getting Colin Bell was the golden ticket for me.

For some reason I always got Gordon Cowans and Dennis Mortimer, harder to shift than a pair of zebra print pants.
