Guest Big Guns Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There are indeed, and the old codgers have the advantage over the young 'uns. We've seen the likes of Peter Swan, Don Megson, Ron Springett, Redfern Froggat, Albert Quixall.Tony Kaye, Wee Willie Henderson, Tommy Craig and the Macanearny brothers play. We've seen Pele, the greatest player who ever drew breath play at Hillsborough twice. Age has its advantages sometimes. For you Pop Gun, I have been known to smile, but my mum said I was suffering from wind, so burped me, and there I was frowning again. That was in early 1951 by the way. This is progress you usually just ignore me Is it cos I can get under grandads skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barn_owl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I was born on Monday 4th February 1980. On Tuesday 5th February Wednesday beat Bury 5-1 having beat Colchester 3-0 the Saturday before I was born. Seems they were in a good run of form when I was born and ultimately got promotion.

Wolfmanjack Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is progress you usually just ignore me Is it cos I can get under grandads skin Get under Grandad's skin all you like matey, he's not my mate. I usually ignore you because your inane comments aren't aimed at me, and they're not worth responding to, but tonight they were aimed at me. Back to ignore mode now.
