I believe that Bobby Smith is revered at Leicester. When Jock Wallace was manager you would often see a Leicester City minibus driving about Edinburgh. Not sure if he established a link with one of our boys clubs.

Wallace and Eddie Turnbull became great pals and we played a couple of friendlies against them home and away 3-2 and 2-0

Seville not so friendly 1-2 and 0-2

What channel shows that? Is it one of the ITV ones? Assuming it’s done now as can’t find it anywhere.

Edit - just saw it’s ITV4 10:30-11:45.

My favourite programme. It's a constant delight and memory jog of better days.
Brian Moore was such a decent guy.

Just been watching some more of this and most of the games make modern football look like a bore-fest.


There's a lot less stoppage time for imagined injuries, no players rolling around on the ground looking like they've been shot...only to suddenly make a miraculous recovery, and almost* no teams putting ten players behind the ball when defending a 1-0 lead.





* Haven't seen any games with George Graham as the Arsenal manager yet, so there's still time.

Terry Butcher sent off - animal

---------------------

You got that right. But I suppose football has been the architect of its own downfall by being so damn popular!

More and more money poured in has got us to this situation where fouls are given for the most innocuous of challenges, players go down like Nureyev in the penalty box (and then grin slyly when refused a pen) and the existence of VAR means we're never sure of the certainty of anything.

One of the few sports where players get trained to cheat nowadays. Back in the day it was only Jonny Foreigner and John McDonald who dived.
