    He wasn't the most technically gifted but always gave a 100%, he also had that "they shall not pass" attitude.
    If they did get past, it was a case of them taking the long way round. :p
    He wasn't to shabby at getting the ball forward either.

    What's up with Heslop's super white teeth and what has Richie Pitt been smoking?

    All before my time, unfortunately, but names I was brought up on.

    Yes Bolton v Manchester City. Nat Lofthouse barged Bert Trautmann into the City net and the goal counted. Trautmann was a bit shaken but continued playing. It was only after the game he was diagnosed with a broken neck!! They made them tough in those days not like the modern trip over a blade of grass and roll around in agony players.
