The Football.....

[AndyRM]

Pat Nevin is one of my all time favourite Chelsea players, along side Zola and Vialli.

We had him at Killie for a season towards the end of his career. Even then he was still head and shoulders (not literally obviously) above everyone on the park.

Unbelievably skilful and lightning quick too.

I really need to get a copy of "In Ma Heid, Son", it's meant to be a belter.

Got to say I'm loving Deschamps' response to France's less than impressive goal tally, which is essentially

"Oui, et quoi?"

I hope France win both their semi and the final on penalties having ground out scoreless draws. It would be the Frenchest thing ever.

Best footballer you have seen.

1 Has to be Messi
2 I'll go for a keeper in Oblak ( same match)
3 Ian Wright

 

[AndyRM]

I could do a separate one on keepers!

Harper (I was at his last game, very emotional)
Leighton
Barthez

 

[matticus]

Best footballer you have seen.

Gazza.

At Wembley - we cruised through an easy qualifier against someone like Albania. Or was it Belgium? Scotland? woteva ...

 

[Dave7]

Slightly biased but....
Stevie Gerrard
Kenny Dalgliesh
Then either George Best or Dennis Law.
NB.......my daughter (aged 55) has a red and white Teddy I bought her as a baby. It's called Emlyn after the great Emlyn Hughes. Not sure he was the greatest but I got a lot of pleasure watching him.

URGENT REQUEST

A mate of mine has a ticket for England v Holland.

Unfortunately he's due to get married tomorrow so he is wondering if anyone would like to go in his place instead?

If you’re interested - the wedding is in Clitheroe at 18.00 and her name is Violet.

It’s been more than 50 years since I’ve been a regular spectator at professional football matches .. but of those players that I did see ‘live’ back in the 60s/early 70s:

I was fortunate enough to see Stanley Matthews, Tom Finney and Nat Lofthouse all play in a testimonial match at Burnden Park around 1965 – those three were pretty good in their day!

I’ll go for these three though:

1. Alan Ball
2. Joe Royle
3. Francis Lee

2/ George Best
