Big win for Lancs today, did Durham ply a shadow squad or something?

Another Strachan one: Reporter: “Where do you think you lost that game today Gordon?” Strachan: “See that big green rectangular thing out there?”.....

John Lambie. An absolute legend at Patrick Thistle

Shankly, Docherty, Cloughie, Big Ron etc were all absolutely brilliant, but Gordon Strachan has come up with some belters too. When Celtic signed Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink Strachan said “I promised you a big name signing and here he is”. And there was the famous retort to the Sky Sports reporter after a game when he answered “Quick word, Gordon?” with “velocity!”

The Jam - Happy Together

Oh I wasn’t questioning that at all mate, it’s just I know the other Ian Gillibrand and was just pointing out the coincidence of two blokes with the same name living in such close proximity to each other.

That means there were two Ian Gillibrands lived within yards of each other (the other was in Kingston Place and still very much alive and aged about 60)

One of those rare Rovers players that a lot of local folk will have played with and against as well. Mecky played for (I think) Feniscowles in the West Lancs League after he retired as a pro and also in the Orphanage Cup well into his 40s. A brilliant player and a fantastic bloke too. Terrible news this. RIP Mecky ?x

Awful, awful news ???

The Beatles - Free As a Bird

But we weren’t talking about Botham the Somerset player - we were talking about Botham the England player. There are probably Lancs members that wonder what all the fuss is about in relation to Jimmy Anderson or before him Mike Atherton. You are obviously entitled to your opinion but at some point you should probably concede that you are very much in a minority on this one mate.
