HE'S DONE IT!!!!!!

Ha ha absolutely mate. Many years ago I was playing for Darwen Olympic up at Blacksnape. I was just a cocky kid who thought I was invincible really and it was against Conver Foam, who had the likes of Ged Puzon, Martin Atherton, Steve Eggleston and Billy Preston playing for them, so no mugs. Their centre half had on a pair of those white Alan Ball boots that were all the rage at one time. As we lined up I pointed at his boots and said "You'd better be a fooking good 'un mate wearing those fooking things!" Needless to say he wasn't the bravest I've ever faced after that!

Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign

I wasn't going to join in this debate as it is a bit off-topic, but ask any player who has played with or against Batty how good he is. That lad had everything in his locker, a marvellous footballer. I can't remember which Rovers player it was (possibly big Col) said when he first saw Batty training he couldn't believe how good he actually was, and even he as a seasoned pro had bought into this urban myth that Batty was a limited player. Sherwood was a flash git who was a world-beater when you were 2-0 up, but not when you were 1-0 down unfortunately. Amazing to think that Kenny gave him the armband above the likes of Hendry, Shearer, Flowers etc.

Paul Weller - Wild Wood

Aye, Tommy Ball specials with the hole in the heel where they'd been hung on string in the shop!!! He was 'seeing a young lady' in our street at one point in the 1970s, he had some flash cars did Tommy!

And they should be made to wear black boots!

Well its obviously subjective and not really 'proveable' as such but I would pick Shearer, Duff and Friedel because I honestly think that when at Rovers they were the best in their position in the world at that time. Tugay was world-class, undoubtedly and I loved the little fella, but next level from Duff? No, I don't think so.

That's a fair shout as to who our best 3 players of the last 50 years have been, with Tugay running them close.

Fox - Only You Can

Well, is today the day that a pace bowler reaches 600 test wickets for the first time? C’mon Jimmy!!

Paul Weller and Andy Lewis - Are You Trying to be Lonely?

Frankie Valli - My Eyes Adored You

Ben Harper - The Woman in You

I'd rather play a relegated team first than a promoted one. I think the Wycombe home game is trickier than the Bournemouth away one tbh. It will take them some time to adjust to the championship, whereas Wycombe will be well organised and up for it. Not aimed at you Admiral but there's a lot of doom and gloom around this morning.

Neil Young - Journey Through the Past

Smokie - Living Next Door to Alice

The Style Council - Boy Who Cried Wolf

I don't want to be argumentative either but he didn't really play 'up front' in the sense that he was a wider player. Granted he should still be scoring far post headers when the play is on the other wing. I'm not really a big lover of stats; I'd rather use the evidence of my own eyes and while he only ever scored a handful of headed goals his heading stats generally are miles better than most wingers. He was strong in the air if not a prolific scorer of headed goals.

The Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby

He was no Shearer but as wingers go he was one of the better headers of the ball. And you would have expected him to score that one in the semi final. I would have backed myself to score it perhaps 7 or 8 times out of 10 and I was only a decent amateur player.

Aye I'm sure he does have the odd nightmare about it. Sometimes these things are inexplicable. I remember Steve Davis missing that black in the world snooker final, the one that he would have potted 99 times out of 100, to allow Dennis Taylor back to the table. It was a similar moment.

The Jam - In the City Where it all started for an 18 year old Paul Weller

Aye it was a real sliding door moment that alright. I don't hold it against the lad though, he did some great things for us as well, not least on that very ground against the red rags!

I was right behind that goal and to this day I have no idea how he managed to miss it. The irony was Morten was generally a pretty good header of a ball, especially for a winger.
