OT? - The Tube Map

In case anyone was interested, the Football Association and London Underground have teamed up to create a reworked Tube map to mark their joint 150th anniversaries with all 367 Tube, Docklands Light Railway and Overground stations have been named after footballers and officials.

All things considered, we've been pretty well represented - Newcastle players/managers included (that I've found):

Goalkeepers

• Shay Given
• Ronnie Simpson
• Pavel Srnicek
• Dave Beasant

Defenders

• Joe Harvey (proudly at St James Park)
• Jonathan Woodgate
• Kenny Sansom
• Stuart Pearce
• Andy Thorn
• Sol Campbell

Midfielders

• Chris Waddle
• Paul Gascoigne
• David Ginola
• Didi Hamann
• John Barnes

Strikers

• Jackie Milburn
• Albert Shepherd
• Malcolm MacDonald
• Les Fedinand
• Alan Shearer
• Ian Rush
• Mike Channon
• Michael Owen emoticon-0183-swear)

Managers

• Sir Bobby Robson
• Kevin Keegan
• Kenny Dalglish
• Ruud Gullit
• Ossie Ardiles
• Jack Charlton
• Lawrie McMenemy - wasn't one of ours but deserves a special mention for the sterling work he did down the road at the Dark Place

 

A good find that one.
An even better roll call of some of the greats of the game.
We have been spoilt over the years.

 

I saw that article and I am afraid that I thought "How bloody pointless".

I may as well have a map with the name of types of wild birds which fly into the garden (which does not include Doris from the Bigg Market). I would rather the FA actually do something meaningful one day.

 

We're paying for it now though!
