Are they going to fly out the gate at the start of play like a team of old anties? There's a whole web of possibilities! I bet Sam will be resmoking his roaches trying to stay calm.
I remember Doug Livermore who played for us.Him and Dixie ( he only had one leg by then ) came and opened our school fair.
Dixie Dean only had one leg? I assume he has stopped playing by then? Although it was only for Everton... What happened, poor guy.
In November 1976, he had his right leg amputated due to a blood clot; Dean's health was declining, and he became increasingly homebound. Dean died on 1 March 1980 at age 73 after suffering a heart attack at Everton's home ground Goodison Park whilst watching a match against their closest rivals, Liverpool.
Sam Allardyce is going to make it difficult, his taking over of West Brom is not going well so far.Losing to Aston Villa is evident of that. No one will crucify him for losing at Anfield. This is going to be a long ball business.
He's Fireman Sam, isn't he? He can do a good job of hauling people's arses out of danger. His problem has been thinking that that makes him suitable for the bigger jobs.
Bigger job will always elude Big Sam because of his football tactics which he cannot change. His long ball tactics is not going to work in modern football. 1.5 millon pound is waiting for him if he can keep West Brom up.
