And there’s the “ typical Rovers “ element of it were anytime we do manage to get a decent gate we play like drains. The guys you’ve dragged along to see a good game just turn around and say” I not paying good money to watch this shite again.”

Little Eva - Keep Your Hands Off My Baby

There’s a five minute highlight reel on the internet. Look it up. I thought his right foot was for standing on, he’s better than that.

I’d say he’s more of a striker. He’s got more of an eye for goal than Gally as you can see in that clip. He’s more willing to shoot at goal for a start. There was a time when I could see him doing a job for us, off the bench etc, but I think that ship as sailed.

I though he could have played for one of the lower teams in our league at one time but it doesn’t look like it now.

Peter And Gordon - I Go To Pieces

I saw a lot of him when he was a Rochdale in the old division 3. He came as a young lad from Fulham I think. He looked very handy at the time, a big strong lad, reasonable pace and touch, very good left foot, knew where the goals were. He hasn’t kicked on as I thought he might do, I think he’s been troubled with injuries a lot of the time.

Even for a friendly ? It’s crackers. I spoke to the ticket office and the tickets should be on sale some time this week.

When I clicked on all the away areas were greyed out. What’s that all about ?

The Supremes - Back In My Arms Again

No you’re right. Having said that Billy played quite a few games at right back when Keith was missing/injured.

They weren’t playing against Treasure Island and Transylvania back in the day.

The Righteous Brothers - ( You are My ) Soul And Inspiration

It’s all just a matter of time anyway. I’d prefer it to be sooner rather than later.

Of course, but Sir Keith featured mainly as a right back for England. But shock horror in today’s game, he could actually play left back equally well. When I see the like of Trippier looking like a fish riding a bike when he plays left back I wonder what they do all day in training.

It’s the Gladwin story all over again.

He’s the wrong age to be trying to play on with that injury record. If he had any sense he’d be concentrating on picking up a coaching job somewhere.

I’ll give him 10/10 for courage. Would I play on a leg so badly broken it needed to be plated ? No way. I’d like to be not walking with a limp or with a stick after I retired.

I was only thinking about this earlier today. The sign of a really class player is whenever they’re asked to move on up to the next level of football they do it effortlessly and immediately looked like they are part of that team. Wharton has done that each time. Youth football to Championship football - tick Championship football to Premier League football - tick Premier League football to International football - tick

Four centre halves isn’t enough, as we’ve found out in the past. Nobody has mentioned Pickering who looked a better bet at centre half than he does at left back in my opinion.

He seems extremely injury prone. Reminds me a bit of Grella.

Yeah, you’re right he’s a good solid player. He’s no longer at top level. The problem is he’s had more than his share of injuries. I don’t follow the Prem much but my scouts tell me that lad Mitchell, at Palace, is going as well as anybody Unfortunately the days are gone when you possibly had 16 to 18 English left backs playing at the old top level. You’ll know better than me how many candidate there are but there can’t be that many now. Maybe change to 5 at the back and play Saka as a left wing back.
