Sir Jimmy for me. Would have loved to have seen him live

Yes but it is who you would re sigb mate. We had a few players in their prime who would like to re sign

Negative, mundane, boring football. That was why Larry. It always seemed to be that we would go 1 nil up, panic and defend a 1 goal lead for our lives and end up losing. I know there are a couple of games such as Cods at home where we went for it and looked ok, but in the main it was get a one...
