Bedford Roughyed Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Peter Bonetti RIP 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

I too am saddened by Tim Brooke-Taylor's passing. Thanks, Futtocks, for mentioning I'm sorry, I'll read that again. Yours is the first comment about his death that I have seen which does so. It really was great radio comedy. Altogether, after three..."My name is Angus Prune, and I always listen to I'm sorry I'll read that again, my name is Angus Prune and I never miss..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bite yer legs and knock yer block off to ..! When I watch the Prima Donna Divers that play today taunting a defender - who is scared to try to tackle them in case they get sent off - by stepping over the ball a few times I fantasise that either Hunter, Harris or Smith (Tommy) materialise in front of them and dispatch them into row Z. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I criticised the beeb and fired off an angry e-mail when don fox died and all they showed was the bloody kick. I was so angry. Here I am, the manager of a great period in reds history.... a legend at leeds and all i can think about is a missed tackle in 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 brilliant to reminisce but does any one really think that great leeds side would have won a single game in even the championship these days - fags n booze league finding its own levels at best. see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
