If he had Jose’s accent he’d have gone a long way, as it is he talks like a docker and irons out people who take liberty’s…..told Geoff Hurst to go f**k himself when Hurst was his manager ! But his knowledge of the game and how you play, both technically and the mentality required, is second to none ! Proper football man ! Facking brilliant is that.....he should be in a Guy Ritchie film....lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 9,847 Posted Tuesday at 08:06 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:06 (edited) The 1973 Cup final between first division Leeds and second division Sunderland. I was working that Saturday as we had a big order on which needed to be completed. However two Sunderland lads had sneaked a portable, black and white telly into the factory. The rest of us agreed to cover for them whilst they disappeared into a store cupboard to watch the final. Leeds were one dirty, swaggering, cynical but skilful and effective team. The whole nation thought tiny Sunderland would be annihilated. When Sunderland went ahead, a ripple of excitement spread through the factory and we all headed en masse to the store room to watch the game. F**k the big order. The managers never appeared either because they too were watching the game upstairs in their offices. And they knew they couldn't confront and sack us all. The Sunderland lads were openly crying when they won and the rest of us were cock a hoop.Particularly as we were getting paid double time to watch the game. Get in! The whole country celebrated the David and Goliath fairy tale. Never to be forgotten. https://youtu.be/H6bYIy4deD0?si=qQqbXgnV8Fi-bMPT Edited Tuesday at 09:04 by jukel123 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
