For once Herbie was spot on - these things do happen
That was my team, too. Didn't Brian Talbot start 72 games in 1979-80?
We only played 70 but Talbot played in every one - doubt he was subbed either. Always been a big Talbot fan - remember when he scored five goals in a week against the Manchester clubs?
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.
One of my favourite goals, ever gg. Pires first for us.
