me too. i preferred Striker though (press their heads down)

I never had one of those. But my dirty Auntie Gertie once bought me a toy from her day trip to Blackpool, where you pressed its head down and its cock popped out. Was it a bit like that?

Haha that brings back some great memories buddy, although the shirt with no name thing is still happening. Was it O’Connel against Hull had to change his shirt because it had blood on it and he got a blank one?

Aye, that was right. Having to change your shirt because you've got a bit of blood on it eh? What nonsense! You know where all this has come from don't you? The AIDS "epidemic" of the early 1980's. All of a sudden it became perilous to have "blood" on your clothing, for fear of spreading AIDS.

I don't know anyone who ever got AIDS from playing football.

I know one person (a friend ) who got gonorrhea after playing Subbuteo though. His mate's sister was so impressed with his "flick to kick" she insisted he follow her into the garden shed and what happened next was hasty and rash.

Funny enough just the other night myself and CB Junior where discussing "old fashioned" position numbers and their names. I got as far as Left Back (2), Centre Half (5), Right Back (3),Left Wing (7),Centre Forward (9) andRight Wing (11) but could not for the life of me think what the mid field positions were called (Half Backs?) positions 4, 6, 8 and 10. Any one care to enlighten me? Old age memory loss is worrying!!!

It’s easily done once you get top side of 90.

Yep, got my right and left wing numbers mixed up but I didn't mention names! I remember having Woody on the right Reece on the left, Jones at centre forward and Birchenall at inside left. Now that was some strike force!

Liverpool used to play the #5 in an unconventional position. They usually played #4 and #6 as CB's (Thompson/Hughes & Lawrenson/Hansen) and the #5 was a midfielder (Ray Kennedy/Ronnie Whelan).
