Somewhat ironic that your taste in boys names is rather similar to that of George Best.

I would not deface the memory of Bremmner, regardless of my opinion about his lifestyle, I am of course happy that he treated his widow with the respect and tenderness that she deserved during their time together. I prefer to remember the joy that his football brought to the lives of fans, not...

OK starry, so if it was suddenly revealed that billy bremmner was a wife beater I would be within my rights, as you did yesterday, to show my displeasure by say defacing his statue. I don't think two wrongs make a right.

Starry I visited Elland Road last season and made a point of going to see the statue of Billy Bremmner, partly because I have a passing interest in sculpture and it is a particularly good example in bronze, but also because I admire the skill of a player who plied his trade before I became...

Fair comment LB, but I think in this case he brought genuine pleasure to millions of people, regardless of the club they followed. One could argue that it would be wholly inappropriate to have a similar minutes silence for a player who perhaps remained at one club and was widely unknown outside...
