Jimmy greaves gave the man of the match award to the entire Swindon team after we drew 0-0 with them.
When Jimmy Scouler chinned anyone who came within 5 yards of him. As a 4 year old I turned to my old man and said " f@ck me pops he's hard " or the 4 year old equivalent.
When we had Liam O'Brian Got given a ticket to the last home game of the season when I was a kid we were close to getting relegated and We had to win to stay up. Mates uncle couldn't bare to go so I went, been a supporter ever since
it was Keegans promotion year. I was living in the midlands by then so had the midlands biased team rather than Tyne tees ones. his MOTM boils my piss to the day.
I was speaking to a lad I work with. He's kicking mid-late 60's. He was asking when I first went etc. Ran through things, including living in Bedlington when Mirandinha came to live there for a week, before they realised the fans were never going to leave him alone. Or Kevin Carr living up the street from me and giving me a pair of his gloves. He got on about the Fairs Cup and Bob Moncur, what a great bloke he was. He says they all used to have load to do with community. Going to local schools etc. He once went to a school event and John McNamee was there. McNammee was a fairly aggressive tough defender by all accounts. Quite intimidating. Him and his mates were a bit scared to ask for an autograph. After a few "Mr McNammee's" went unanswered, they ventured closer and were more vocal. I fully expected the moral of the story to be that he was really a gentle giant and was lovely with them. So as they got closer and more vocal, McNammee turned around and said "**** off ye little ****s, I'm busy" as he sparked up a tab They promptly went and got their catapults and spent the afternoon firing stones at him.
Has everyone else been driving more carefully, getting their boiler checked and walking around wrapped in bubble wrap?
When Mirandinha scored twice at Old Trafford, a back post header and a banana free kick from out the box. Found out later that the free kick came of Paul McGrath's earhole.
