He certainly beat some goalies in his career. His career average is very close to 1 goal per game. Quite astonishing - even more so given that he played close to 1000 games for his clubs and countries. Regretably I haven't seen him play but he must have been something to watch.

You'd call that a "feel good" movie, Dujon? I saw it a very long time ago and enjoyed it - but it didn't give me that warm, fuzzy feeling as I recall. Kids hide a murderer because they think he is Jesus but the cops get him in the end. Sort of sad and moving? Is that the one? Yes, Monty. Not so muc...

Whistle Down the Wind - Hayley Mills and a small bunch of urchins. Lovely film. There's another film of which I cannot remember the title. It's far from a classic, but I enjoy it when I view. It involved a pair of nesting birds outside a small village, said birds being rare (pippins?). Whatever, it...

Get a one way ticket, wovlad. Then overstay your visitors visa (or simply disappear); either way you'll be put up in a nice hostel, fully paid for by the government, while all your (extensive) appeals go through the red-tape channels. At the end you will either be allowed to stay (you can claim pers...

What's your assorted opinion on the squad's ability in the field? The adage catches win matches is just as pertinent as it ever was - especially if heads go down. You can't let that happen with the Australians; you'll be slaughtered. For a while the Aussies did let their fielding slip a bit and it s...

Ruddy 'eck, white poppies? I think some of our esteemed theologians should go back to bed and do a bit of theologianing. Might do 'em a bit of good that. The poppy (the red one) is usually worn, just once a year, to remember those who fell in battle. It is not a glorification of war but an expressio...

Oh, I don't know, I reckon you could be in with a chance (note the you :-) ) While the Aussies have a significant amount of experience this means that they are a 'Dads Army' in age terms. I think the average is around 31. McGrath is accurate still, but he's not picking up the wickets as he used to. ...

No, TANGO, no. I know from your previous writings that you are a devout Christian. NOTE: this is not a personal attack.

At first thought I cannot see too much problem with such a proposal.

Naturally this would need to apply to leagues world w...

Regardless of his guilt or innocence in this matter - and it's something we probably shouldn't comment on here until such time as if or when he is convicted - what was he doing out of clink just five years after being convicted of killing a woman? Should he be guilty then it's quite obvious he's a s...
