I don't know what say really.
He'd probably say " It's gonna be one of only two places - take your pick". :emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0105-wink::emoticon-0105-wink:

Bad news John.... feel for you and understand your pain... will you get another... I'm still trying to decide..

You want to. Had my first dog, a rescue dog for 18 years. Didn't want to through that again but a couple of weeks later someone who worked with my wifesaid her daughter had found a little terrier puppy sat shivering at the side of the road and taken it home. Her dog wouldn't accept it so she had taken it to the RSPCA and said she would pay any costs as long as they kept it until somebody gave it a home. I went to see him and said straight away that we would have him. Had him for 11 years. The wife didn't like been without a dog so we then got another rescue dog who was about 4 years old. Had him for 12 years until last August. Still have another rescue terrier we got 4 years ago when he was less than a year old to keep the other company. Amazing how they bonded, the younger one used to look after him, always checking he was OK.
They were all different in their own way but have given so much pleasure. Dogs are a lot more preferable than a lot of people. I would say go for it.

Anyone who loves dogs is OK. Those who love dogs and support City are the pick of the bunch.

Jimmy Breslin died. 88 years.

Pulitzer Prize Winning Writer.
 
Got his autograph at Circle one Sunday in the 70s, along with Chris Old, Tony Nich, Phil Sharpe, Bairstow and the Holy Grail Geoff Boycott.
JPL games used to pull 6,000 back then, 40 overs a side. Great cheap Sunday afternoon entertainment.
Don Wilson tossing the coin if I remember rightly.

The only autographs I got at the Circle were of Sir Len Hutton and Hull's own Jimmy Binks when I went along to see a City training session.
