  • John Gregson.

    The above came to mind for some reason, a gentle, skilled, sophisticated midfielder who played for United at Colchester in the league cup first round in 1970. It was an exciting time, only the second or third game as a league club, at Layer road that throwback to the 40s and 50s, intense in the atmosphere, excellent in all ways.

    You wont get his like today.

    United are away to Colchester, who have a new ground, its clinical, clean, sparkly, modern, and empty, devoid of emotion atmosphere. Neutral.

    As the game will be, a procession, numb, meaningless, just a way of passing time, the brand of football impotent as it comes, lacking in all things.

    Im thankfull i lived in that era....not this one, by the way united lost 5-0.

      Hugely disappointed Frank,as a lover of Ealing Comedies I thought this was going to be about the star of films like The Titfold Thunderbolt,The Lavender Hill Mob and the wonderful Genevieve

      I had never heard of the John Gregson that you refer so it just goes to show how quickly we can fade into obscurity

      What is jungian btw?

        Carl Jung was a swiss psychiatrist who spoke of synchronicity like the above, coincidences are speaking to you, if you take notice. He also spoke of the process of individuation, becoming your best self, healing childhood wounds, and other wounds.

        Its far more than can be written here, look him up on you tube, he is the big daddy of psychology.

        Top marks for curiosity, curiosity takes you far.

          The internet has made learning far easier for me now than ever before,if something piqued my interest then a couple of taps on my phone and not only is the answer there at my fingertips but a whole history of whatever it is I'm looking for in seconds

          I will look Carl Jung up but tbh I've a feeling that it's going to go straight over my head but will give it a go
