I was lucky enough to speak to him after the game yesterday, he thinks over the last 2 games v Brighton, Brighton are on course for success, a very talented side with match winning players. He see's a top 6 finish again this season..... This was before I told him I was a Brighton season ticket holder !!!! He was a true gentleman, A Legend. Good things to come again this season then, as I was not going to argue with a man like that

Did he cheekily scythe you down the moment you walked away from him? I do hope he hasn't lost his touch.

Did he bite your legs?

We used to have a cat called Norman ( well, that was his nickname anyway). When people said why do you call it Norman, the answer was "because he bites your legs".

So much for his 'Bite Yer Legs' reputation. The chap tackled like a wet lettuce against Grzegorz Lato.
Hence Poland's goal which cost England their place in the 1974 World Cup.

Yes, but Lato was a fantastic player. I won £8 quid on Poland that year when they finished 3rd in the world cup.

The Poles were certainly no mugs, and made him look like one. And Shilton too. Well done on your bet. Was your bet that the Poles would reach the 2nd Round group stages or as precise as saying that they'd finish 3rd?
He came off second best against Franny Lee too [yt]V8kxMnc5KUs[/yt]

I met him a few years ago along with peter "king of Stamford bridge" osgood, they really made an effort to come round the tables and speak to us all, have pictures taken etc. Wonderful characters with great stories.

I have never been a gambler but that year I just had a real fancy for Poland to do well. So I had a quid on them to finish in the final 3, bit like an each way bet on the gee gees. And £8 in those days was the equivalent of a week's wages.
They had some terrific players back then.
