Tyrone Shoelaces

That got brought home to me many years ago. I was walking across the warehouse at the place I served my time when who should I see walking towards me pushing a sack truck but Stan Milburn. The last time I saw him playing was at his testimonial game a month or two ago when a host of old time stars turned out for him. His name might not mean anything now but he was Jackie Milburn’s brother and Bobby and Jackie Charlton’s uncle. He’d had a long career in football at several clubs , mainly at Leicester City, before he wound down at Rochdale. He’d been an England “ B “ international in his time. Yet a month or two after retiring from football he was working as a labourer in a warehouse. At least our works football team got a good player/coach. He was a lovely man, no side to him at all. No great “ I am “. He played amateur football well into his mid fifties. RIP Stan and thanks for the memories.

I’d like some help but not that badly.

Me too. Sanchez looked very promising whenever I saw him play. He reminded me a lot of Raya.

Yeah, the other keeper, Sanchez, is top class. Definitely one to push Raya all the way with the Spain squad.
