His striking prowess is often overlooked due to that of Charley, Gall & Butler who followed

I will get my copy tomorrow, it must be worth a read especially for us more matureish supporters I'd like to ask a general favour at this point. When posting the name of a Stones legend in the subject field, can you add the word "interview" or "article"? As when I saw this thread my immediate reaction was "Oh f**k, he's dead." |

All truly great strikers are greedy and selfish, Alan Shearer was a fine case but hey!what a player. Reminds me of our game at Runcorn when the Pyramid trophy was presented. Both Gall and Butler were favourites for the Golden Boot, but both were on the same number of goals - so neither would pass to the other! Incidently, I've never been able to remember the result of that game - I'm pretty sure we won, but not the score or the scorers. And, thanks to my completely-uninterested-in-football girlfriend of the time, we got there late, so I never got a programme!!!!! Am I still bitter about that? Only a bit... |
