dytkos 17,953 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 R.I.P. iconic scenes of him with the World Cup. D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 9,754 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nobby was a freak of nature, 5 ft 6 inches, very poor eyesight but a ferocious ball winner who often stretched the rules a little. I remember he had Eusabio in his pocket in the world Cup semi final. He was an animal on the pitch but an approachable bloke off it. He would always give us kids his autograph and have a joke with us. Yet another with dementia. Rotten way to go. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 9,754 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Maybe Kante? Ex Leicester,now Chelsea. Win the ball pass the ball. Probably not as good as Kante to be honest. I think Kante had a lot to do with Leicester with winning the premiership PS an update on JohnL Gardner from another post. He had a pub in the North East which was firebombed, I hope it was an insurance job, an old mate of mine told me he drank there and it had a real good vibe.
