I was round Darren’s playing cards about 6 months after him and Howe turned up…. Dawn came in with the cleaner (mortal drunk ) she texted someone she alleged to be Tindle and we wished each other well ☺️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get your air rifle, first time you load it, you have to put the barrel in your mouth, then pull the trigger. If your ears pop, it's powerful enough. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31434 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 5 hours ago, Alex said: You’re about my age and will no doubt have some vague memories of reading Shoot and Match, plus the annuals at Christmas probably. Back in the early to mid-80s there was definitely still a real reverence for Matthews and his era. I even remember a feature on Wor Jackie and reading about him practicing with a tennis ball. This got me thinking about how the waning of Matthews’ fame is probably as much to do with the passing of time as anything else. But what really made me think that is the realisation that, back then, we were much closer to the 50s than we are now to those days in the 80s there’s a cheery thought for a Tuesday morning I said something very similar to a mate who was moaning about the 'young cunt' at his place who knows fuck all etc, etc. I said when we were around 17 and being divvies following NUFC the auld cunts going on about the fifties are basically us now. (same time difference). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16474 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) @Howmanheyman @Alex Team sheets for Matthews testimonial. Best was only 19 at this point but it’s certainly contains some of the greatest European players of the era and in Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puskas and Yashin (possibly Gento too?) contenders for an all time world top 20. The likes of Pele are missing but that’s obviously travel related 👍 Edited July 16 by PaddockLad 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see shite pop up on FB, photos of the 'good old days' Where silly cunts post saying 'When life was good' 'simple times' Aye simple times and good times as you were probably still living at home and just worried about what you would be earing that night to go on the sniff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think he played his whole career in an era when subs weren’t permitted in competitive games. So you couldn’t carry players or have them make the odd cameo appearance Edited July 16 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6556 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) UEFA Team of the Tournament has been announced. The only English entry is Kyle Walker. Now I'm not suggesting for one moment that more than one English player should be included, but the prolific child creator being top of the pile for English talent?! Nice to see UEFA are still on crack. Edited July 16 by Craig 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42458 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Didn't CT say he was Marketing Director or something? It's the mid-80s. The world has turned neon. The home computer is just taking off. Music has gone electronic. The rise of the VCR is upon us. Tron is showing in every cinema across the land. Cut to SCS Marketing Campaign Meeting. "I'm telling you! Matthews SELLS! The man is a fucking 70 year old SUPERSTAR!" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the one player of ours I thought would be included. The only other was perhaps Guehi - but I reckon there were better central defenders than him during the tournament. Can't think of another keeper who stood out more than Pickford did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
