Was it Mick Butler?
Something to lift the gloom on here .
Going to provide you with some quotes and see if you can guess who they are referring to .
Sometimes after training we would assemble under the main stand for five against five , anything went , crunched into the walls , heavy tackles , it was brutal but it was here you earned your stripes .
One day this skinny kid appeared , two stone wet through if that , he'd get the ball and nutmeg you and then he'd do it again , he took the pyss and nobody took the pyss in these games .
You thought " I'm going to kill this little bstrd " and then he'd do it again .
Nobody played like him , nobody ever had and lived long enough but he did .
Was it Mick Butler?
George Best.
We all hated him to be honest , I mean hated him in the true sense of the word .
Every afternoon in all weather's we were out there , sometimes till it was pitch black or when finally he was happy with the session , which was rare .
Working on our postioning , where we had to be if the ball was in this place or that .
This went on for 6 months until he was happy that we had finally got it .
George Graham
Rodney Marsh ?
You'd look over when the ball went out of play or an injury and he'd be sat on the wall asking supporters who had won the 3.30 at Kempton Park .
