Or both. He had what you can't teach, that spacial awareness that allows you to always turn away into space and not into opponents.

I was shocked when I saw she was 83. My paper has this thing everyday were it picks about 20 people who were born on the day in question and then gives their ages. That can be really surprising also.

Warhurst could have played anywhere on the pitch and been a star. He would have been an all time great but for the injury.

Err, he was a centre forward and he didn't miss that sitter in the 83 Cup Final, Gordon Smith did after Robinson played him in on goal. Typical jammy Man Utd, there was only minutes left to play when Smith missed that chance. It would have game over. After that there was only one team that was going to win the replay.

Mrs Shoelaces thought " Twins " was really good. I haven't seen it yet.

It was a goal all night long to me. A great bit of skill also.

I agree regarding Nzonzi and Kalinic.

It was always knock out for us with about 5 or 6 players.

There's a section in " The Guardian " TV guide called " Jump the Shark - When good shows go bad ". " Killing Eve " has just made it. Anybody know what country it's supposed to be set in ? They don't appear to have a police force at all. You can just go around killing people at random and nothing happens.

Yeah Sutton was top class. I remember seeing him chest control a long, wind assisted goal kick from Tim Flowers and drop it instantly straight down onto his foot. A really difficult skill and he performed it to perfection.

Across the road from my house is a common bounded by a row of trees that are always in lovely pink and and white blossom around this time of year. On the Monday morning after the win I remember walking to work through lots of blossom on the footpath. Looking out of my lounge window I can see the blossom starting to fill the footpath again. This time of year it always takes me back to that Monday morning and that feeling of pure euphoria I felt.

I played it for hours, that's what made me two footed as a player I think. I still remember one shot I made. We were playing on a playground bounded with a grass verge. We were using the back wall of a toilet block as a goal. There was a strong wind blowing across the pitch and my mate had just hammered the ball against the wall with the wind and it had gone miles. The ball was sat on the grass verge about 30-35 yards from goal more of less in line with the wall. I had to make the shot left footed to curl the ball into goal with hardly anything to aim at. A right foot shot would have had no chance. Also I had to keep the ball really low so the wind couldn't get at it. My mate was already thinking he'd won when I drove the ball right into the middle of the wall ! I scored a few goals as a player that I can't recall but I still think about that shot when I pass the playground. You never see kids playing walley anymore.

Yeah I found it hard to celebrate as well - for about 20 seconds.

Playing in the right position he was very good. Trouble was we rarely did that. He didn't have the mobility, speed on the turn etc to make a top class left back. I'm glad he's doing well.

Listening to the latest press conference " Normal Service " seems unlikely to be resumed this side of Christmas.

I agree with that. The " Kill Rate " is ludicrous to say Mr Plod never gets on her trail.

He could come on for Dougie when Bryan had run them ragged. I always wondered what Tugay would be like playing further forward.

I've seen a lot of great strikers at Ewood over the years that could partner Shearer. Fred Pickering, Andy Mac, McCarthy, Kevin Gallagher, Jansen, Sutton, Santa Cruz etc. I rated them all but Bellamy just had that little bit extra.

Anybody else think " Killing Eve " vastly over rated ? Mrs Shoelaces had " Dev " on over the weekend. Interesting, but ultimately about 5 hours of my life I'll never get back

Nobody with any sense will be looking to spend big bucks on Dack until they've seen him play a few games. Not everybody comes back from injuries like that one.

Ok, Flowers and Hendry. My previous 11 was the best I've seen irrespective of nationality.

Better than Berg and LeSaux. He could attack and he could defend. I remember watching him as a young player and he was marking Cliff Jones, the Gareth Bale of his day. Jones never got a kick. I thought then this lad could go far, he's got all the assets to be a top class full back. Alan Hunter was good for us and brilliant at Ipswich under Bobby Robson. My best 11 since 1961. Freidel Newton England Samba Le Saux M Ferguson Clayton Douglas Duff Shearer Bellamy.

Mike was the best centre half I've ever seen in the flesh and I haven't seen many better on TV. DeSailly and Lucio spring to mind. That's how good he was. Rothmans Football Annual used to chose a Great Britain 11 every year and although Mike was probably on the way down he still made that team. He hadn't got a weakness in his game. You can have Hendry, Berg, Henchoz, Nelsen, Samba, all good players but not in the same league football wise.

Not in a million years.

Sorry, I've been doing too many of these threads. The latest one - Your best international 11 but you can only have 1 player from each nation and 1 per club.
