Off Topic Bill Nicholson Arms

Very sad, must confess i only really know here through top gear, but seeing her drive that Transit was unforgettable

 

It’s a miracle he survived. And even more of a miracle that he was relatively unscathed.

 

I was there that day and also at the replay. The almost the whole crowd were in a state of shock and after a few minutes both sets of supporters were chanting his name . There were, unfortunately,a couple of idiots near me who were complaining that the match was called off. I too was convinced he had died. A huge well done to the medical staff and also to Fabrice for his subsequent work to bring heart health for young men to the fore.

 

Was at his return with my eldest daughter .... was really moving when he knelt down at the spot he collapsed.

 

Sad to hear of the death of Peter Lorimer. Always remember his powerful long shots at goal

 

RIP Peter , I wont hide it he was a member of my most hated team at the time supported by kids in the south of England who didn't have the foggiest where Leeds was , supported by those kids who now support the likes of the two Manchester clubs

 

A great player from my youth, one of the few players from Revies Leeds side that almost everyone respected as a player, he scored some fabulous goals and the power of his shots is legendary.

 

Hot Shot Lorimer a totally accurate description. The number scored from 25 to 30+ yards was incredible. You rarely see strikes from that range today.

RIP Peter

 

Obviously we don't have the stats on his success rate on
those kind of shots (nor how they compare with his peers) ,
but that compilation vid does show that Lorimer had
very good technique when attempting them.

 

Very sad that another of that Leeds team has gone - so many have died recently.

Not many were old by modern day standards.

That successful Leeds team was a little before my time, but I do recall him at Leeds in the old 2nd Division.

I saw him play for Leeds at Oldham in 1985 - he scored a penalty. The Leeds team contained Denis Irwin, Andy Ritchie, Andy Linighan, John Sheridan and Tommy Wright, all of whom went on to play for Oldham - and some of those went on to bigger and better things. Irwin was a free transfer!

 

Alon Ben Avraham - zikhrono livrakha.

 

Villa led the way from 1892 to 1974!

Then it's been Everton since.

 

Just don't show this to Holte

 

The club's social media accounts reposted this today following Vini's first PL goal. I must have completely missed it when it was first released. And someone must have been chopping onions around halfway through.

All I can say is: what an absolute boss.

Also Lucas is probably the nicest bloke in world football.

 

Which is funny, as the way he plays it 0.8 Lamela

 

Sadly, another football Great has passed away. RIP Frank Worthington, a truly talented player of the 70’s and scorer of one the best goals I’ve seen.

 

He was a bit of a maverick at the time, that goal Spurcat, was it this one ?

 

Worthington was from the era of Best, Marsh , Hudson , Bowles , Currie all players that as Spurs fans we disliked but secretly would have love them to have played for us
I read a story about him in a Birmingham night club toilet at 2.30 am wearing a white suit and smoking a *** , the teller recognised him and said " not playing tomorrow? Frank replied Yes were at home , he scored a hat-trick
