There are so many reminiscing on here about footy in the 80s...in other words before the PL. It was so much fun and I was proud to be a part of it. There was no VAR back then,no P&S...football was just enjoyable without constant controversies. Those were the days.

Everton lost one its most dedicated fans. He is being laid to rest tomorrow. Mark Jones had a season ticket for 44 years. He went to the away games as well from his home in Crewe. Mark was 60 when he lost his battle against cancer. That is too young to die. RIP Mark.

Tom Davies is a nice and well balanced young man. It's not his fault he was caught up in the same company who disgraced the club's history in such a relatively short time. I hope he goes out on loan and learns to use his ability like Leon did at Derby. He's a Blue. Respect that.

In 1983, Brian Clough had a crack at presenting for Granada television, hosting a tribute programme for Bob Paisley just after the Liverpool manager’s retirement. No media training needed here. This was Clough in his prime, and he did it his way.
