tinkler,astle,west brom,leeds were robbed!!!

[Panic Button]

I have no idea what you are talking about, but if Jeff Astle scored and Leeds lost, then it was a fair and just result

[mark01]

I thyink your referring to the 70/71 season but the cruncher for Leeds was the following season.

I was lucky to be at 2 wolves home games in 71/72 - the 5 or 6 -1 defeat of Arsenal and the last home game against leeds.

Leeds only needed a draw for the double and deserved the win but lost 2-1. Wolves had a great side that season

Never offside! Tony "Bomber" Brown was in his own half when he received the ball off a Leeds player.
Jeff "the King" Astle was onside as well.
Moan all you like the result is in the book and Leeds are where they should be!

"Wolves" and "great" in the same sentence! (walks away shaking head)

[mark01]

nice clip and music mighty - those were the days!

can't ever forget that miss of Astles against Brazil though

[mightyWBA]

mark everybody mentions that miss but it was irrelevant as both Brazil and England went through!
Astle is the King
R.I.P

[mark01]

fair play mighty - but I would have fancied our chances against Peru more than W Germany (even though we cocked that one up!)

[mightyWBA]

Well I blame Peter Bonetti ,substituting Bobby Charlton and a jammy Uwe Seeler backheader and I'm sticking to it!

[mark01]

didn't Gordon go down with food poisioning or something like that !

My favourite WBA player was the Black Squirrel - now if he'd gone to White Hart Lane instead of Coventry he would have won more than a measly 5 England caps.

[mightyWBA]

Montezumas revenge!

[mark01]

Ces't la vie - off to bed!

[mightyWBA]

Big Dave ...Cyrille was my hero when I was a lad!
On top of that he still turns out for the West Brom old boys and is a thoroughly nice bloke!
5 caps! a disgrace!

[BigDave44]

With all due respect to WBA, Spurs would have been the team for his style of play. And he would have been playing with God (sorry Hoddle) - the most talented English player I have ever seen.
I wonder if anyone has done any statistics on Clive Allen's 49 goals, and how many were placed at his feet by God. (I've still got a "Hoddle walks on water" badge).

[mightyWBA]

With all due respect to your due respect Dave the Albion weren't too bad in those days :-)

[persianlady]

overated hoddle,by a long chalk!! anyway the greatest midlands player, post war,was peter knowles,name one better?

And to think lack of respect, surrounding the referee and whinging only came into the game with Mourinho.
