I remember a post of Herbie's from 20+ years ago, when AW had fielded a team of 11 foreigners, which caused much consternation in the press.

He said that when he'd started supporting the team, it was made up of six Paddies and one ugly Jock, managed by another Paddy.

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.
