There are 38 at my local GP when there was just 3 over 40 years ago.

Oh Mike, please don't try commenting on something else you have experience of as a user but not a professional. As someone who worked in the NHS for over 30 years let me assure you that there is more to your bald figures than meet the eye, but this is not the forum to pick your argument apart.

Frank Lord was a wonderful role model for any kids and as I keep saying, he has the record for the most hat tricks scored here and most with his head. Its not all doom and gloom before the Dario era, even though most on here seem to think so...But then most probably didn't see Frank and many others that graced our mud pitch and cow sheds.

I would doubt that many kids today could play on such pitches and with the ball they used back then. Even I would have been able to play to a good standard with what they have now. ;)

Welcome anyway!

I make that 3 now who thinks like I do! ;)

OK, 2...;)
