He was head and shoulders above most other players in the league for most of the 1980s. When we were playing Liverpool, you always shat yourself a bit when he was on the ball in a way you didn't with others.
So, in short, well done John Barnes.

Did well in the New Order video also.Quote:

I thought you were on about "Sir" Luther Blissett :homer:Quote:

Well he wasn't half a bad player to find in your youth setup either.Quote:

Aldridge, without any doubt.Quote:

It's certainly possible, isn't it.Quote:

I am well aware of this unfortunately - the Whelan bit, not your profanitiesQuote:

That's it. It's a while since I watched it due to VHS having ceased to be a viable format.Quote:

Peter and Bruce were not cunds
No Jan Molby in there?
I was at the Southampton game after Grobelaar was given his suspended ban.
Paul Dickov took the worst pelanty I have ever seen.
His pens always scared me
I remember that. It was a dire game and that should've got us three points. We had the blue strip then, I think.Quote:

iirc (drink had been taken) Dickov started the ball well to the right of the right hand upright and bent it away . . .
in short, Dickov was dodgy*. There, I've said it.
* or ****
It was a **** dayQuote:

Jesus wept - never seen that before. He must have missed that deliberatelyQuote:
