He would have kept VAR busy, that's for sure

Eric Gates, John Wark in that Ipswich midfield as well - no wonder Talbot had to move to Arsenal to get a game. Actually Gates probably played up front but dropped very deep iirc

What was the name of that Sarf Ifriken that played for them?

I ask you as the resident football pervert, la.

:hehe: Apocryphally, when he was playing for Rangers, his disciplinary record was so bad that you could walk into a Glasgow pub and ask for 'A Sounness', which meant 'One half and then I'm off'

John Wark, another properly hard bástard.

Noddy would get fired in, as well, and he appeared to be made out of rocks. He was never damaged.

Were there any hard men after that? Steve Williams, I suppose. Ince didn't fúck about. It was the next generation, Vieira and Keane, that lot, who were emasculated by referees.

the team I remember was Cooper; Mills, Beattie, Butcher, Osman; Mühren, Thijssen, Wark; Gates, Brazil, Mariner

Was it Mich D'Avray who came along later - he might have been a Saffa

Perhaps it's also the decline of Scotch football that's had an effect? There's no longer a conveyor belt sending an endless supply of Pictish psychopaths south of Hadrian's Wall to wreak havoc among sassenach midfields.

Googled it. Colin Viljoen. I can still remember his picture in my Panini sticker book.

I thought it was very glamorous of them to have a forriner when everyone else was English, Jockish, Welsh or Irish. In Ipswich, of all places.

edit - He played for England, ffs.
