Big fan of salad allegedly

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

He's told the story many a time has Uncle Jimmy. Bit of a boring old twat tbh.

 

[Grimsdale]

Remember when he played with Man Utd.

Remember when he played with Man Utd.

And Arsenal

A great read, thanks for posting MD.

I thought he started the game,but came off only after a few minutes.
Tony Barton deliberately did it not to give Bayern a lift before the game started.
Maybe my memory's playing tricks with me?.

Yes, I was at the game, as I used to watch Villa at the time, he lasted about 10 minutes before being replaced by Nigel Spinks, who had a great game.

 

[muttley]

Gary Shaw was a cracking player for Villa, if I recall correctly. Incredible that he ended up at Kilmarnock. ?

 

[Mad John]

Remember him well.

His brother Arnold is an arsehole.

He did, and he says that in the article.

He literally says that in the interview.

I never read it,jumped the gun a bit...sorry.

Amazing has 2 European cup winners medals despite only playing 9 minutes. He was an unused sub for Man U in 67 and played 9 minutes for Villa 15 years later

Aye, it says that in the article.

In that case the OP's thread start is misleading!.

He must have been very frustrated sitting on the subs bench for a year for Man Utd waiting around until they got to the European Cup Final in 1968

His brother Willies a wrong one

They won it in 67 and 68

Scott Carson has 2 champions league winners medals,2 super cups and 1 club world cup without any minutes and a grand total of 11 games played at Liverpool and Man City.

Carson also has a right Sore Arse and a Large Bank Balance.
Life is a bitch at times !!

At least he took part.

It’s not quite as sad as Denis Law missing out on Man U’s European Cup win, or Jimmy Greaves for England in ‘66, or, you know, John Terry changing out of his tin flute to go full kit wanker mode and join in Chelsea’s CL winning celebrations trying to convince himself that he was convincing everyone else that he had actually played a part in the triumph.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Remember when he played with Man Utd.

Second to Stepney in the Man Utd side that won the European Cup in ‘68?

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

They won it in 67 and 68

If only.
Think you will find some other team won it ‘67.
Utd beat Benfica 4-1 in ‘68.

 

[Johansen]

They won it in 67 and 68

Did they, aye

 

[krs]

They won it in 67 and 68

Whit?
