He looks like he could have a terminal event at any moment.

Mind you, 58. By scotch standards, he's had a good innings.

Partial to a drink, I understand. It catches up with you eventually.

I was young at the time but I seem to recall him not being that good.

I remember that Ipswich team being quite good, but their two best players were Dutch, as I recall. Although it was a generally good side. Gates, Mariner, Brazil, Beattie, Wark and...errr...Mick Mills.

I remember the world as grey and miserable then. Maybe it is just that horrible corrugated iron at the Clock End etched into my mind.

Why would anyone ever have wanted to stand on the Clock End? I never understood that....

For us, it was the gritty urban grubbiness of it all. We simply didn't get that sort of thing at home and, best of all, I suppose, our parents would've been horrified.
