The Keeper - Trautmann film Sunday 5th Sept on BBC

[Berts Neck]

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood but I took this as Rivers saying he was: “For those that remember the old Maine road the CGi of the ground is fantastic and you can imagine the boardroom being like that when Swales was in charge”

Maybe he meant it hadn’t changed.

Sorry, just me being pedantic !!!

This entire conversation is pedantic and I started it ;-)

I hope it will be compulsory viewing for the club's customer service department, as the guy I spoke to had never heard of him when I contacted them re the seasoncard renewal!

No wonder no one can else can get through on the phone, our fanbase are giving history lessons starting in the 50s!

I bought the DVD. It's a gem of a film. Can't help laughing whenever John Henshaw appears!

Give it to Bert!

 

[Bozo]

Can't wait to finally see this!

Can I ask how the topic of Bert came around when discussing your seasoncard renewal?
Had he heard of Billy Meredith?

That’s the first question I usually ask and then I explain he was more blue than red

Yes really good film. My only slight criticism is that there wasn't much time devoted to Bert's childhood and wartime years. This is covered brilliantly in Catrine Clay's book. Then again, you could probably make another film about that!

That's an absolutely top read. Young UN's should definitely read it together with the Gary James books.

Small correction but Swales wasn’t in charge at that point. I remember Bert and it was well before that halfwit ruined the club, maybe 10 years after Trautmann retired did Swales come in?

Yep, I know Swales wasn't in charge but it looks just the same as when he was appointing John Bond in that TV documentary in 1980, if memory serves.

Nonsense. I doubt that Bob Smith, Walter Smith, Alan Douglas, etc. ever had a comb over or wore cuban heels?
