Ramsey had two wingers in the squad in Ian Callaghan (before Liverpool converted him into a midfielder a few years later) and Southampton’s Terry Paine but neither got a real sniff of a regular place in the team.
I remember Brazil popularising 4-2-4 in the early 1960s and had always thought that Ramsey had used 4-3-3 in 1966 and amended this to 4-4-2 in time for the 1970 finals in Mexico.
Having said that I agree that I can’t decide who the third forward was alongside Hurst and Hunt. |

Southampton have sacked Russell Martin, a manager with a rigid adherence to playing The Right Way with a conspicuous lack of success. |

It was the long throw that unsettled Huddersfield in the cup.
Didn’t it land in the six yard box and the keeper punched it into his own goal? |

Back in the days when there would be a full page every Wednesday in the “Observer” devoted to the town’s two amateur football leagues. |

Just learned that he’s passed on aged 86.

All this nonsense about them being a big club is a legacy of a few successful years under Joe Royle.
When I first started watching in the 1960s Latics, like Dale, were a lower league team.
A bit like Bury fans regard their club as “big”. |

Another NL side have gone out with Weymouth beating Yeovil.
Tamworth have won at Hartlepool.
Well done tonight Dale, potential banana skin avoided. |

Bumped this one because I learned this afternoon that Paul Rocca has passed away.
RIP. My thoughts are with his family tonight. |

The Aussies are already starting the psychological sniping although it’s a fair way until the Ashes.
Darren Lehmann criticised Joe Root yesterday by saying that he’d never be regarded as a Test great until he scored a century in Australia! |
