Well actually I don”t know about that,Exeter was still getting £50k from villa every time Ollie Watkins got a call up to the England squad,I think it’s elapsed now.but he was at Brentford in between..so some sort of agreement must have been passed on each time..same as Jordan Pickford I think Carlisle get £10k every time he plays for England.don’t know who pays for that but they get it.

Why would Carlisle get money for Pickford playing for England, he was only ever there on loan from Sunderland?

Erm not sure now,maybe I mis heard someone say it,and it was Sunderland,and maybe they said I wish Carlisle would get £10k every time he played….that’s probably the story..

Walt, how long have you being watching the Millers?

Pretty much from when I could walk & talk in the 1960s
Grew up in a fanatical Rotherham house where my dad and uncles would go to every home game and a fair spattering of away games - I could recite the teams of the 1950s before I could cite my times tables, replete with names that I never saw play like Jack Shaw, Jack Grainger, Jimmy Rudd all on their own pedestals - I guess that's stayed with me if I still remember names like Quairney and Bolton quicker than I can remember 8 x 8

Jock Quairney one of the best I remember, used to catch the ball rather than punching most of the time. had a great leap and would catch high balls into his chest and those were the days when goalkeepers didn't enjoy the same protection as nowadays.

They didn't wear gloves the size of pan lids either. In fact most goalkeepers from that era didn't wear gloves at all.
Added to that the ball would be like a bar of soap and increase in weight by about 50% on a wet day 🙂.

When I started out as a goalie we wore fabric gloves with rubber pimples on the palms and fingers.
Then people like Sepp Maier started wearing gloves made from sticky composite materials, which became cheap enough for kids like me to buy.
These were a revolution, but they did wear out pretty quickly, I remember my first game for the school I didn't have any proper gloves(we were poor),I wore my brothers driving gloves !
Teacher said I should get something better for the next game, they were next to useless, never missed a game for the next year's,got through a few pairs of gloves , sorry mum !
