A camp, fat, flapping twit we also paid for what seemed like forever not even to sit on the bench, when we were a basket case of a club with a p*ss-taking squad. Played a couple of dozen games in two years at an eye-watering salary that makes my blood boil even now, My Freude was well and truly Schadened by the Germans' demolition of Brazil at which Mr Caesar went the same way as his distant relative Julius.
if not capped when with us, at least we are a good breeding ground ! loving the big match revisited , goalies in green, refs in black, terraces "packed" no's 1-11, one sub, muddy sand covered pitches , black boots, local shops as sponsors around the pitch not corporates, kids on the pitch at full time, chelsea were crap , brian moore letting people at home watching in black and white "liverpool are in the dark strip" yes we had poverty then ( we rented, rented a b/w tv from redifusion back then) local matches for local people on local tv

Jumpers ? Lucky boogers……we 'ad a pile of rags and lucky to get 'em.
Rags? When I was a lad, only the kids from the posh streets had rags. We had to make do with making the smallest kids act as goalposts, by standing them in t' middle of t' street and telling them not t' move or they'd get a right hiding from t' rest of us.
On reflection, we should have told them that it was all right to move when a car came down t' road.

An absolute disgrace that the great Phil Parkes had the sum total of 1, that's one, England appearances.
I've mentioned it before but in March 1976, Phil was set to win his second cap against Wales in the friendly to celebrate the Welsh FA's centenary (the game Dave Clement made his debut in plus seven other debutants).
Don Revie had said to him he would play the second half but Revie played the whole game with Clemence instead. Pissed off as you could imagine he apparently told Revie to stuff it and a couple of months later made himself unavailable for the Bicentennial tournament in America against Italy, Brazil and 'Team USA'.
He'd likely have been number 2 keeper and played a couple of times as Shilton had had a bit of a strop and also made himself unavailable tired of being Clemence's permanent understudy so Corrigan and Rimmer went instead as the second and third choice keepers.

Cars, CARS! You must have lived ‘int posh area!
