If he's been kicked out it's an utter fooking disgrace !

Having seen him swanning around on match days, I'm not sure what he actually did.
Agree, very sad to hear this - if you'd ever seen him play, you'd never have another favourite Blades player.
Some fantastic memories - the best being his sitting on the ball in front of Alan Ball when we stuffed Arsenal 5-0.
Birch walks away with his pockets full while the workers suffer.
A snapshot of our times.
TC was invited to a board meeting to discuss the cuts, but because of the cost cutting there were no spare chairs. He chose to sit on KM's lap, but crushed McCabe's left ball, to which KM naturally took offence and asked TC to leave and never come back.No smoke without fire so something must be happening.
Can anyone give a brief report of what actually happened regarding the ball sitting incident? My Uncle's not around any more to tell me.
thanks
1. Ken Furphy had arranged a deal to send TC to Leeds about 18 months before the event, in exchange for Billy Bremner (rapidly reaching the end of the road) and Trevor Cherry. At that time the board stepped in and stopped it happening due to the controvesy they thought it would attract. TC and Furphy never saw eye to eye.
He left in the summer after we were relegated in '76 when Jimmy Sirrell (I've just spit on the floor) was manager.
2. He sat on the ball v Arsenal in response to Alan Ball doing similar when Arsenal stuffed us 0-5 at the Lane. John Hope had his worst ever game including letting in a shot from somewhere just off London Road through his legs.
In the "revenge" game we were 4-0 after about 20 minutes and during the second half when we were 5-0 up he took the opportunity to sit on the ball just outside our penalty area down at the Lane end. The crowd went barmy of course.
Both were far and away the best players in just relegated team and (understandably) wanted to continue playing in the top flight. That's life (and football).
To be fair, in that era he wouldn't have gone anywhere unless the club wanted him to. The club/player relationship was still very much master/servant in the mid seventies.
TC and Woody regularly submitted transfer requests but the board consistently turned them down. Today Woody would have played about 10 games for us and been off to the Prem.

Who ? .......................... Monty ?
Maybe he could piss off to Leeds again and just come back here when he is on his uppers #legend
