the beast with two backs

letthegoodtimesroll

those were the days, three in midfield, five up front, boots you could knock a brick wall over with and a leather football that felt like it was made of concrete when it got wet and toe punting was a no go in the playground because the ball went like a rocket and hurt the poor kid that didn't get out of the way in time...

Maybe you should swot up on your shakespeare, Bon Ton Roulet

letthegoodtimesroll

shakespeare ?...didn't he play for that lot just south of the river ?

Henry Irving

I think he started out at Coventry and then transfered to Shoreditch ebfore ending his career with South Bank.

He was nothing without the support of Bacon though. Can't we believe we didn't see more of him.

a bit too much of a play actor for my liking.

I blame Curbs. We could have signed Shakey but Curbs said Chris Marlowe was a better prospect. Look what happened to him!

letthegoodtimesroll

to be fair, the bloke was too much of a showman and too fond of the hamlets to be able to keep the pace up in one of curbs teams...

Addickted

Curbs was friends with the big black midfielder at Arsenal a few seasons back but he kept roman around the pitch and wouldn't pass to his countrymen.

I Remember Gus. "Et tu Arsene" were his last words as he left Highbury

But I did hear we could have signed him for a sonnet.
