My mate 54, fellow City fan, Phil Martin, only known to a few on here, been ill for a while, collapsed as he got in HRi two days ago and died, lived most of his adult life with kidney failure before his transplant about 25 years ago, he used to get me to pick him up from the kidney unit at HRI, with an arm full of cannulas, to take him to BP to watch City then drop him back off.

I shoehorned him coming to away games got him to co drive a minibus to Exeter on Elclipse weekend, then a year or so ago he went from being the fittest person I knew to walking very slow saying that the anti transplant rejection drugs were in effect causing that much calcium in his artery’s that his body was turning to stone, he missed the last three home games, I saw him last Thursday where he said he couldn’t even take the bins out.

And he got very little help from the docs with his problem , RIP Phil be sadly missed.

I tried the Fosbury Flop at school, we used to do the sissor jump, everyone did, I was really tall at 13 years old so was good at the long jump and high jump, any way, Dick won Gold and our teacher said let’s try the Flop, so, ****ting ourselves with no massive landing bags we did, first kid got two foot off the ground, 2/3/4th kid same, then it’s me, dopey Rico.

Running up to the bar like a sprinter, forgets the flop, sissors 5 foot odd, breaks school record, gets bollocked for ****ing it up, but Sir 5 foot 2 or 3, a record, see me after class, got the ****ing slipper, bastard Wilberforce.

Why wasn't he at Parliament voting against the slavers?

Like you I did the scissor way at school though at the time the top athletes were doing the Western roll. I hope your game master didn't get you flopping into a sand pit!

The Roll was very difficult to do wasn’t it, trying to get your body flat over the bar from a run up, and twist your trailing leg over, tried it a few times soon gave up

Cruyff turn…

Wondering why the heck it's called 'the Cruyff turn'?
Others were doing it well before then.
Someone not that long ago posted a montage of Pele's tricks, which was eye opening. They were all there, including the 'Cruyff' turn.
