What do you mean don't tell me the ending????
Seriously though mate it's an absolutely brilliant documentary you will love it. GREAT man
There isn't an end. He's still goin', soakin' up the sun in Spain.
thought that bit about him having his first woman/fuck at 33!!!! wow...
There's a youtube clip of the Birmingham final and in the second half he knocks a goal kick right-footed well over halfway and then kicks out of his hands left-footed even further. Impresses me when I watch it.

I haven't read all the thread so sorry if this has already been mentioned.
Watching those old match clips I noticed that every time Bert caught the ball he ran and drop kicked up the field as soon as he could. Not even looking who was up there but just launching it. Funny how the game as changed and how we expect keepers to have good distribution as part of their game. And how the modern preference is to build from the back (unless your team is managed by Big Fat Sam).

Never heard of the Revie plan? Bert and the team knew exactly where he was 'launching it'!

A heart warming story the part about loosing his son and wife really made me feel for the guy. At the end when he said he sees himself more English then German really brought a tear to my eye. What a guy and what a legend.
