owler66 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Watched the documentary yesterday didn't realise Leicester got rid off him at the same time we swapped Ron Springett for his brother Peter, maybe we should've let Ron go and replaced him with Banks for £50,000 and with him being a Sheffield lad he would've jumped at it, our history around that time might have been different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striggy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Boy hood hero of mine. Watched "that save" v Pele in the 1970 WC in the lounge at Hillsborough Golf Club because they had a colour TV. Would have loved him to be an Owl, but also have fond memories of both Springetts. 2 "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfonso123 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Wouldn't have made much difference. Pete wasn't the problem, it was the cack in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Great player Banks but also proper gent - don’t care what you say, that generation not only had the talent but had the necessary mental resilience to win a World Cup. 100% sense of dignified humility. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be true pal. When it happened last year, what cack we had didn't matter, it was still all Dawson's fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to double down on your story then everyone should be able to see what you've said (with no evidence) about a dead footballing hero who can't argue back. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
