Ronnie Starling Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I once sat next to him and had to explain the back pass rule to him after Darren Purse used his knee to pass the ball back to the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thompson Twins is a Sheffield band definitely started in Sheffield by a Sheffield School Teacher - if you knew your music history you'd know that was a FACT How's about you accepting that you're wrong on this one, backing down from your ridiculous snobbery, and celebrating one of Sheffield's successes instead of just doing what most Sheffield people do and moan about their home city and it's successes? 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
