Way way before my time. Was it him that had the dust-up with Franny Lee and Lee has the better of it? Yes it was.

I hope no other footballers of the early seventies get coronavirus in their legs

Lee's windmilling.

Don't think the wee lad lands a single punch.

Hunter on points. Looks bad because he stumbles but in the initial coming together he £#%&!ed Lee up.

More on it here.

Used to deliver Norman's paper when I was a lad.

Subsequently met him a few times through work, really nice fella.

The stuff he (and others of his era) used to get away with on the pitch

“You lot may all be internationals, and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I’m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest £#%&!ing dustbin you can find. Because you’ve never won any of them fairly. You’ve done it all by cheating.”

Clough later opined it had been a mistake to say that, FWIW.

He was a hiding to nothing there anyway.

And he wasn't wrong.

I do believe he was considered, but negotiations got stuck on something or other.
