My favourite player of that period was John Duncan,even though someone suggested he played in wellington boots. Ian Moores....forgot about him.Bloody awful! Alfie Conn was great to watch.A dribbler of the old school. Terry Neill was a name to forget but we got lucky with Keith B although he had walked into the club after most of our players had got old together and he had to bring in the young'uns!.....and a little later he took a trip to Argentina..........!
I've seen a couple more from that season now, and Gerry Armstrong and Chris Jones were the forwards to step in. It was also Hoddle's first season and naturally he was nothing like the player he became. Our injury woes seem to also be in defence. I've twice seen Pratt at right back with Naylor across in the centre.
Pratt,I thought,lived up to his name but the dear boy did try by covering every blade of grass and passing to the opposition quite a lot!
I sat next to John Pratt at Wembley on Saturday. The guy was wearing a ridiculous Frank Spencer like tank top sleeveless jumper. In that heat .
A former centre back of ours has given his opinion on the Alderweireld situation. The fact I'm not saying another word on the matter indicates which one...
Dean Marney released today by Burnley. Hopefully someone on here will post clips of "those" goals that day against Everton.
Cheers PNP. I believe that game was on a NYD. I doubt anyone who was there that day will forget the performance of Dean Marney.
It was: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4114675.stm Forest are supposedly interesting in him. He's 34, so he might have a couple of good years left, if he can avoid any more injuries.
