    Embaressed by Rotherham

    It is 29 years tomorrow since we were humiliated 3-1 by the Mighty Millers in the League Cup. I remeber the result well and the embaressment, but had forgotten about the team that we had out - literally full strength!

    What was significant about that match was that it effectively marked the end of Malcolm MacDonald's career. He had already suffered knee problems, but the injury he sustained in the Rotherham match was so serious he only played one more match for us nine months later, at Stamford Bridge two days after we famously beat Man United in that Cup Final (he signed off with a goal, of course)

    A strange moment in time. Post Hudson, pre Talbot? Noddy made all the difference to that midfield.

    Tackled by Noddy? You knew you’d been tackled.

    You posting this in 2007 mate?
    When I was young and full of rage
    I hated Tottenham to the core
    But now I've reached a gentler age
    I hate the fùckers even more.
