Not TC but the great Mick Jones. Also last line was " And Mallender's dirtier than Rattin".
Let's face it, we're all too old to remember but Hodgy was better than Yashin
Well, Chips, I agree with you. I saw almost every home game Hodgy played, and to my mind , he was better than Yashin. Yes, Yashin was brilliant but our Hodgy matched him. Yashin appeared several times on TV in the early fifties (Black and white , 13 ins screen) when Moscow Dynamo were invited to play such as Arsenal in friendlies. He also played in the World Cup from 1958 to 1970, so got a lot of screen time. He played around 350 games in his career whereas Hodgy played , I think, just under 600. So, Hodgy wins out there as well.
