The MUEN had one of those Manchester way back when photo pages up, and I came accross these Likely lads.

Anyone recognise themselves outside Maine rd?

They are wearing penny round shirts ,which were only in fashion for a year or two, maybe 1972/3.
So if those guys were around 16/17 at the time of the photo,they will be 66/67 now.
The guy 2nd from the right looks a bit like Johnny Muir, but then again it probably isn't him.

Impressive fashion knowledge!

Alot of people who know me comment on what a good memory I have.
So really it's a good memory,rather than being an ancient fashion guru.

I've lost count of the number of times we've been called Trafford red Sox on a number of different podcasts this week. It's all obviously done on purpose. Imagine every world leader doing a Biden and calling the Aussie pm 'that fellow down under'.

Talksport did it this morning too

So I was right after all.
It is Johnny Muir, and 50 years ago is 1972 - like I said.
Thanks for the confirmation pal.
I wonder what Johnny Muir is up to now ?
He was a game lad back in those days.
I saw him get an old bakelite phone smashed into his forehead by a West Ham fan on Piccadilly Station circa 1971. His face was covered in blood but he wanted to carry on fighting with the West Ham boys who were the forerunners of the ICF.
No City/West Ham mutual love in then. Just pure violence from both sets of fans.

This is the painful thing about it.

Youtuber to get attention says something controversial to gain a response, people think he is an idiot but retweet his post/comments, youtuber gets more clicks, rinse and repeat.

I get what the youtuber gets out of it but why are people, who think his views are stupid, giving him the notoriety he craves?

The thing is he doesn't normally say anything controversial.

All the football YouTubers are on each other's podcasts and videos and if they come out with stupid unbelievable comments they would be rinsed mercifully and lose any credibility they already had.

He's just a bitter tool because he thought Haaland was Chelsea bound

 

[moomba]

What an absolute wanker

Not the hill I would choose to die on, but if he wants Haaland to be his thing, that's up to him I guess.

For me, I would be keeping a bit quiet after being found out for his "linked to Chelsea" v "signed for Man City" comments.

Because for him, that's humiliating.

I worked with him up til ten years ago at The Mirror print site in Hollinwood. He was still a game un' ;-)

Nice one pal.
I have had a couple of PM's from Doddy on this forum ( who was also one of the topboys back in those days)
and I think he is still in touch with him as well as a few other faces from the 70s.
