What I can’t remember is Joe Shaw’s own goal that day. The report doesn’t describe it. It must have been into the goal I was standing behind, but was perhaps so traumatic just before half-time that I have wiped out the memory?Great post Hodgy and a thoroughly deserved and well expressed tribute to Silent .
As to the experiment of putting the terrifying 6 ft. plus Jack Charlton at centre forward against the slightly built Joe Shaw , on paper there could only be one outcome and not a good one for us .
As it turned out , ‘Little Joe’ as my dad always referred to him won the battle hands down and Big Jack was man enough to admit later that he had been made to look a complete fool by the great man ,or words to that effect .
