Understood the club he served and realised it's potential, was a good footballing defender in an era where this wasn't necessarily a plus with everyone, his shuffle was loved by the crowd, was a good captain, a good care taker manager and decent manager showing up Souness for what he was. The players who were around and did good jobs when you were a bairn and teenager and you have a love of the game tend to be favourites and Glenn and the likes of Wharton, Anderson, Davey Mac, Peter Jackson etc will always be heroes to me despite not being as genuinely talented as the likes of Waddle, Beardsley, Gazza, and Keegan. Football was also a more enjoyable experience, a bit more rough and ready, worse conditions but hammers the way it's went now. Probably a getting old thing as well, no doubt but the likes of all seater stadiums, season ticket culture, sky et al took something away from the game very much including a certain demographic of fan who were discarded without any actual fucks being given as greed took a bigger hold in the game. Roeder was one of the good lads and a true NUFC legend for his part in my formative football years. He's obviously had serious medical issues for a few years so hope he's at rest now. RIP, Glenn.

Yes, please do give us every intimate detail of your personal medical history.

Harsh

One of the best best five or six defenders I've ever seen up here. Miles better than what we've had for a long time. Seemed like a really good bloke too (which is backed up by what the likes of Gazza and Pearson have said about him). Probably should never have taken the permanent managers job after he really did well by virtue of not being Souness, but still left with his head held hight. RIP

A great servant to the club as a player, a captain and a manager. He also worked with the academy for a good few years. Although I am too young to have seen him play that European push was absolutely class & I’ve always thought highly of him. Rest in peace.

I'll entertain offers.

COVID passes from person to person easily.

Sounds to me like fucking LONDON is getting vaccinated before the rest of us. Outrageous.

That'll boil a few of the right people's piss which is a bonus.

That’s a great post. You could write a book about it. That was poetic

It’s the waiting game for me and Alex then

Anyone guilty of crimes against trainers is put to the back of the queue. Them’s the rules.

<applause>

i remember him scoring an absolute screamer of a diving header in front of the Gallowgate I think it was against Arsenal but my memory is pretty vague, but he went beserk after it, it's one of my favourite memories from the time I;m with HMHM he will always be a legend for me

Well said, mate

50+ innit. You'll be fine.

Fannies. My Gra I'd have wanted mine dispensed from one of the ones that don't charge 2 quid

His double shuffle was the stuff of legends in the 80's.

You have hereby lost the right to mock my taste in trainers

I'm more excited to see this than watch our next match.

Peter Jackson is one of the better centre half’s I’ve seen play for us.Always up for the fight,and a fight.Bradford City fire hero.

And he had the decency to resign once the writing was on the wall rather that wait for a payoff.

When i first started to go to games in the 80s it was Roeder and Peter Jackson both in the team as centre backs, he was a top defender , good manager and by all accounts a decent man. RIP Glenn and thanks for all you did for NUFC.

“Hello Alex, aye it’s dad, your dad... it’s Steve. Aye yeah haha your dad, fuckin dozy cunt. Anyway what they saying about iz now on the tweets and that? They’re fuckin not are they? Not the cabbage again man, I’ll never shake that... right never mind that, you just say I’m proper gutted about being slated. I don’t know why I’m not fired man Alex, I’ve fucking tried the lot, I even called Charnley a little mug but he just ran oot the room and hid behind Steve Harper. Ritchie you say? Aye right, aye I’ll slate him, say he’s not telling the players what to do after I told him, I mean I already made Shelvey captain so shows I can’t care about communication but hopefully no one spots that. Who knows he might start on iz and I can whack in a bumper fucking compo claim! Ah kna man, every day I’m not fired is another day less in Benidorm, I was telling Jonjo he will love it, I said there’s plenty of shade under the Carling umbrellas. Anyway get yeself on talkSPORT or something this week, I’ve already got Keys backing me up. They hired that Jones man, he’s relentless so I told him to fuck off on the touchline... aye dead casual there was no way a camera picked up on it. I’ll be home aye, no only 4 packs of space raiders I’ll still polish the Bhuna off. In a bit!”

2 grand to spend every day picking up dog shit? Fuck that. I can source the parts locally for a fraction of that. Call it £80 and ill build you one from scratch.

Billy Storey doing his weekly shop in a petrol station is in no way surprising.
