Funnily enough, no. I was thinking about that Huddersfield for beginners thread and thinking of reasons why the south is so much better than the north. Ollie Reed ranks pretty high up there for one of the reasons. Just got me thinking of other greats and how we do the BEST drinkers in the world although Pik Botha, the ex-South African foreign minister and David Boon must get a mention in dispatches for being spectacular foreign drinkers.

There sure was hon. I thought I'd stick up the pic to remind us how he looked when he was a young, healthy & exceptionally brilliant footballer. It's a far cry from some of the really sad images I saw of him whilst I was looking for this one..
