Football Question

[magicmick]

In the local paper today was this question that I thought I would share with you, in 1983 who was the first player to reach 1,000 first class matches.
Boltonians no cheating:)

Pat Jennings?

Well done PankySmooch, I got it after 3 attempts, just been watching his goal against Man Utd in Charity Shield 3/3 was the score with 2 thunderbolts from Bobby Charlton, those were the days.

I was going to guess Shilton but then thought Jennings started earlier than him.

I saw Pat Jennings last week at the Spurs v Fiorentina game, still got the same haircut albeit a few more grey hairs!

I said Shilton first then Clemence, methinks Jennings should have been in goal today :(

[PankySmooch]

For Spurs?

[magicmick]

Yes they lost 2/0 in Europa Cup

Yeh tell me about it, but you can't blame Lloris, he has been superb for us this season, our defence was shocking, Fazio, Vertonghen and Davies were all over the place.
As for Soldado, what a shocker, it was his foul that lead to their goal in the first game and his lay off tonight was diabolical.

We are too predictable, Chelsea will slaughter us on Sunday if we play like that.

Townsend is quick on the right but keeps cutting inside instead of taking the ball to the line and crossing it, I swear if he played on the left wing he'd still turn left and end up running into the crowd!

10Clarionst I have heard people say that of Sir Matt a real gent, my story about O/T is in the days of the Central League my mate was a linesman he was on the the line for a Utd v Huddersfield game he had no car so I took him. We were shown round the ground dressing rooms etc, Ray Wilkins was playing as he was coming back from injury, he was put through from his own half, and he scored my mate flagged him offside Wilkins went made but the goal was disallowed. On the way home I said how could he be offside he came from his own half, my mate a Bolton supporter said I never did like that @#$% anyway, and they say there are no bent officials. We also met Joe Jordan that day a nicer man you could not wish to meet, very soft spoken, nothing like he was on pitch.

Wilkins also went mad :)
