Your loss ... our absolute gain ... (Deja vu with Neil Lennon years later) only negative was that we lost Shilts to Stoke because Frankie was humping his missus
Certainly fcking felt the same. Waddle was 1990. When you posted that above I was thinking, is Waddle on the management team now?
Robson brought a Newcastle reserve team to my local northern league team for a pre season friendly. After the match he sat in the clubhouse having a pint and chatting with the locals for ages. Absolute legend.
It's the reason I've always taken an interest in what Mourinho does, people might think me not supporting a Prem side, what's the Jose thing about and it's because I knew he worked under Robson. Didn't Robson tell them to take Jose's pay out of his money one time, that's how much he wanted him by his side. I still to this day thought the best world cup was under him, Italia 90. Although this current world cup is achieving new records of it's own. Anyway back to Robson, to this day it's the only autobiography I've ever had and I don't even read!
Yeh they said that about Jose's wages. He went to Barca, took Jose with him. When they said they wanted him to have a Barca number 2, that's when he said it to them. Funnily enough, Jose said the most poignant thing at the end. A person only dies when the last person to love him dies. That's one of THE best documentaries I've ever seen. And I only switched on to it thinking I'd give it 5 mins. 2 hours later, incredible.
What a man Sir Bobby was. Did the great north run a few on the bounce, the he year was a starter was special. Loads of people jumping over barriers and into the other start area just to run past him/wave.
He drank in a local of ours where I was a pot collector. A nice popular bloke, one of the (very fit) barmaids was shagging him, she must have been 15-20 years his junior. He had a domestic appliance shop in the utter **** hole that is Farnworth, sold washing machines essentially. A Bolton legend is Frank.
Because it was held in a country where football is actually played, so all the grounds where full and bouncing People get football there. Unlike this current utter sham.
Seemed to have been idolised everywhere he played, if we'd have signed him a couple of months earlier, doubt we'd have gone down. I know Brum fans still hold him in high regard.
