I've been thinking about my mate Clarence.

So you are dismissing the Libero, the centrocampista, the trequartista.

It is almost as if you have all forgotten that Jorge ever existed!

What do all those terms have in common, sw?

They are all in foreign!

[Viva Prat Vegas]

He's always been a deviant

There's also a story about the team being woken early one morning on FA Cup 3rd Round day by a hotel fire alarm
They all filed out and Nelson stood there in just his underpants , clutching his wallet

They are often used in football debate by other members of the family however I won't name him as I respect him too much.



Red.

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Jorge had a strong allergy to the stock 4-4-2 system
Or as he called it (in a dim TalkSport caller accent) "For fah too!!!"

Red.

Yes, well red is pretty much foreign himself these days, I fear. After all, he married...well, there's no easy way to say this, I'm afraid...a German!

Graham Rix looked like a proper winger but was only occasionally played as such. Usually Sammy Nelson would be tasked with overlapping him. Then, of course, he developed a taste for the younger lady, as well as an enthusiasm for the racial abuse of juvenile footballers.

Quite the varied career, really.

Didn't he only start doing that when he went to the Chavs? I'm not saying everyone connected with Chelsea FC is a racist nonce, but.....

Overmars was a bit of a modern winger. The concept of wingers seemed to die out because none of them could hit a cross.

Brian marwood could cross.

Right. And since Alan Smith retired, nobody could head the ball anymore.

Red.

Only as terms of heightened derision and ridicule, Steve. Heightened derision and ridicule.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

What would Clarence have to say about this modern obsession with giving midfield players specific, specialist roles? Was Clarence a CM, a DM, a holding midfielder, a box-to-box midfielder? He was none of these things and he was all of these things.

He was a midfielder, that's what he was.

Millennials, Sir C. They can't work it out and adapt.They need instructions delivered on a plate.
