It's the extract of the titles they used in the very early 80s (about 80-82 I think) where they had people in a stand holding up bits of card that spelt out Match of the Day and also a picture of Jimmy Hill amongst other things. They used the Ellerslie Road/Stan Bowles stand to do it.
That isn't Gerry's old man DP. This is George Francis who coincidentally we signed from Brentford who Gerry's dad played for. His was a fleeting time in W12 as Wiki attests to:
"Francis and (Jim) Towers joined Third Division club Queens Park Rangers in an £8,000 deal in May 1961. Francis failed to last long at Loftus Road and scored three goals in as many appearances before departing in October 1961."
With him being Swiss German, pretty certain that's the correct German pronunciation. Glenn Frey of the Eagles pronounced his name to rhyme with 'cry'. The alternative German spelling would be Frei translating as 'free' which is definitely pronounced 'fry'.
I would say in response to both questions was that both players were bought by Tommy Docherty and when Terry Venables took over from him he fancied neither of them really, Woods especially.
Woods was basically just a 20 year old kid when he played for us who'd only played a handful of games for Forest (mostly in the League Cup for a cup tied Shilton) and was learning on the job really so there were the expected errors, although I don't remember him being that bad. Pretty much soon after TV became boss he raided his old team Palace and John Burridge was one of them and that was him pretty much done at Rangers.
So sad. A brilliant singer, songwriter and frontman. They were brilliant live back in the 80s when I saw them. Will never forget the humongous queue for tickets at the Odeon in 1985 one Saturday the day they went on sale, the demand was enormous.
He's now up there back again with his mentor Marvin who believed in him so much in their early days as Raw Soul. RIP Frankie, thanks for the memories.
Yep, you're basically looking at Pelé (77 in 92 games), Ferenc Puskas (84 in 85 games) and the freakish record of Gerd Müller as being better.
Mind you had Just Fontaine not had to retire early at 28 through injury, his record might never have been beaten, a ridiculous 30 goals in just 21 games. Tommy Taylor another 'what if' had he not died at Munich, 16 in 19 games.
