Did he not have a bar near the City at one point. Around Holborn I thought, I seem to recall watching a European match there in 95/96. Rammed it was, could barely get to the bar :-(Quote:

That was my team, too. Didn't Brian Talbot start 72 games in 1979-80?
Btw, only went to Terry Neill's bar once. Watched the game away at Lazio. Pires got put free down the left and curled in the equalizer from the edge of the box to get an equalizer in the last minute.
It's beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBRujcVFlUcQuote:
