Off Topic October RIP

Agreed. But then players got few other medals whereas they get plenty now.

 

True....Round plugs and all that?
Which was the only midlands club to provide a member of the world cup winning XI?
Which club was Alan Ball attached to at the time?

 

RIP Sean Connery aged 90 ... the one and only Bond

 

Sean Connery, the most iconic Bond.

90 is a good innings. RIP

 

Couple of trick questions the D_B.
Our goalkeeper. Leicester most likely, transferred to Stoke later in the year. Both midlands clubs.
Blackpool/Everton. Again, can;t recall transfer month.

 

in 1966 i wasn't old enough to know much or anything about football. a lot of years later i bought a vhs of the 66 final. there's one bit where cohen does the most laborious of turns (think oil tanker with engine malfunction) in the england penalty box. all one-footed. when i saw it, my first thought, non-pc as it was, was "what a spaz!" might watch it again ine day and find what time it happened.

also acquired respect for alan ball while watching the game. quite possibly, hat-tricks notwithstanding, england's motm that day.

 

Sad to hear of the passing of Sean Connery.
Was only watching him in 'The Longest Day' earlier this week. Loved him in 'The Man Who Would be King' with his old pal Michael Caine.
RIP.

 

Gutted

 

I can just see Connery at the Pearly Gates.... St Peter with his list asking for his name.... "Bond, the names Bond'... a class act RIP.

 

The ripe old age of 90....RIP Bond.

 

It's been a bad week. Three immense talents have left us in the last few days. Ball, Stiles and Connery. Makes you wonder whose next on the big mans list?

 

Ball was with Blackpool. Banks at the Midlands club Leicester. Blackpool, Leicester, Fulham...Most England managers would not have given players from those clubs a second look at the time. Few, if any, would have picked Jack Charlton or Nobby Stiles.

 

91 is better, and I expected him to talk.
RIP Mr. Bond.

 

On Alan Ball, apparently he promised Don Revie he would sign for Leeds straight after the 66 world cup. But then choose Everton without informing Revie. He was well pissed off with the ginger one.

 

Yes he just oozzed everything that was James Bond . Also starred in some other great movies . Did he not start out as a milkman in Edinburgh or was that someone else .Gone but not forgotten Sean .

 

Banks didn't move to Stoke until 1967. Ball was a Blackpool player when we won the World Cup, he transferred to Everton in the August.

 

RIP


The first to die was an as-yet unidentified parishioner in her sixties, a regular at the church who had come to pray first thing in the morning, and who had her throat slit near the church's font in an attempted beheading.

The next to die was the church's 54-year-old sacristan Vincent Loques, who had opened the doors to Aoussaoui and was busy preparing for Mass. He was due to celebrate his birthday on Friday.

Brazilian-born Simone Barreto Silva, 44, another parishioner, was then stabbed multiple times but managed to escape the church around 8.54am, running to a nearby burger bar where she bled to death.

The mother-of-three's last words to paramedics were: 'Tell my children that I love them'.
