And the subject of an amazing interview a few years ago. They were asking passers by if they remembered a game v Everton in the 60s. Bloke says I do yes, I played in it. Really what's your name. Tommy Lawrence was the reply.fatboy47 wrote:Tommy lawrence

After Sprake let the Chelsea cup final equaliser in we were out and some wag comes running up. “Have you heard about Gary Sprake? Through himself in front of a bus, it went under him.”winsomeyen wrote:Gary Sprake
An old one now but it was the first time I’d heard it.

I thought “no hands” might have been Alan Stevenson as he a habit of raising his hands as the ball whistled past him (not in the net but over the bar etc!) as though as to say “I had it covered” when clearly he hadn’t.Fine keeper though & a long serving Claret!

Rather? Cant remember his name. We had him on loan back in the 4th div. My grannie is a better keeper and she died in 1965!

"The Black Spider" ?
Re: Overheard ont' bus...
Can’t believe we’ve not had a shout for ‘Calamity’ yet.
Remember that mental idea where Pearce let him play outfield for City? What a plonker.

Re: Overheard ont' bus...
Peter “the cat” Bonetti was the news photographers dream. He would step to the left, to dive to the right just so they got the shot.
Also, as far as I know, the first Englishman in the quiz question;name an English,Scottish,Welsh and both Irelands international whos name ends in i.
Scroll down for answers
Rep.of Ireland...Terry Mancini
Scotland..........Peter Marinelli
Wales.............Eddie Niedzwicki
Northern Ireland..Tony Capaldi
