Don’t cry for me Argentina.......The Argie came down with snow on.
The whole crowd went......"ouchhhhhhh" fuk him.

The thing is he would not get away with a lot of those tackles today more to the shame how football has gone soft.....Players are more like actors today and go to ground if they get hit with a feather....From a different generation, but a class act.
I wonder what he thought about how 'soft' the game has gone?
Some great memories of him in his pomp...….
Always like Steve Thornber, like to get his foot in.It's the clutching of the head as if they've been pole-axed, when it's purely a slight glance, that gets me the most. Cheating, cowardly pussies, the lot of them..
He must've despaired at that..
RIP Tommy..
We had some midfielders then, how we could do with one of these now!! Callaghan, Smith, Craig, James, Robinson, Mahoney, care to add any more. Boy's who weren't afraid to put their foot in, but could play a bit too!!.. how we needed them yesterday...
