Tommy Doc

Two Tommy Doc anecdotes.  He promised to have Rotherham out of the second division in a season, he did, into the third. And when he was a player at Preston with the great Tom Finney.  In those days, in the summer, players were on a "retainer."  Finney was getting £15 pw Tommy only £10.  He complained to the manager and was told that it was because Finney was a better player than he was.  "not in summer he's not" was the reply.

“Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter. But he ended PM, CH and OM. An Earl and a Knight of the Garter.”

Clement Attlee.

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. Point, yeah go on!

Just read that elsewhere. Weird thing for her agent to report if it isn't true. Apparently she's in a bad way though, so not good news.

Looks like she's now died. 

I know it’s in poor taste and I fully expect to get moderated but..

Albert Roux, chef, aged 85.

With his brother Michel, they fought an uphill but ultimately successful battle against terrible British food.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"
