Pleasing!

looks like Pirlo there

is joe royle playing for Mansfield and is Clive Thomas the ref ?

Remember that game, stood on Embankment, losing 1-0, and all but relegated despite several months of season remaining. Willed on by a sub 10k crowd we pummelled the Cider 'eds with no luck until Greavo pops up in the last few mins to earn a point, and Burnden celebrated like we'd won the league, superb! Played against him once, and having left me in a heap in the centre-circle, his parting shot was "you'll have to be stronger than that, cock, bloke your size". I was in awe!

played against and with Roy on many occasions down on the Burnden 7's,even in his 50's he was head n shoulders above everybody else,probably still is

a bloke in that monteraze team..

 

thowt he was an old bugger but he was probably younger then than i am now

 

his knees were shot and he was carting about 6 stone too many, but fook me, the ball just hit him and fell to his feet

 

 

griffin and senior, brixton and wanderer58 were playing that season and the four of em weren't a patch on that unfit fella

you were shit as well

Aye, I'm glad he's not the only one he gave 30 years to and still ran fuckin rings round them. He once also drafted Peter Nicholson into that Monteraze team....not in the same class as Greavo...right dirty whingin bastard and he didn't own a pub you could get pissed in after!!

Mick Walsh was a great bloke to have a natter with when he had the Richmond pub in Southport, went in by chance and clocked him, and i mithered him to death, a really sound person and loved talking about Bolton.

Mike now has a bar/restaurant in Spain.

Was privileged to be in Roy's company at the game yesterday and he was on good form, seemed glad to be back in familiar environment and the ref was the worst he had ever seen!

Did an FA coaching badge with him and Warwick Rimmer in early 70,s. Top guy full of fun, glad he is back in circulation again.

A lad at work reckons Roy Greaves has been admitted to a nursing home in Astley Bridge???????????????? not sure how true this is but he says his wife works there. I hope hes got his imfo all wrong cos last I heard was Roy was on the mend, top bloke top man so common Greavsie prove him wrong.

I think the Info Is wrong, Just spoke to a good mate of his(JT)and he spoke to him this morning. Still having treatment but

not ready for the nursing home yet...

I was one of them.

 

Ditto. Think I missed a friend's wedding for that one.   

 

Now be fair ......... I got to the reception.

 

[ Fook !   I should pay more attention to the date on the posts. ]

 

All the best RG. Very underrated in his day.

The nursing home story is a load of Bollocks....Roy and Tommy Banks are both doing great, Roy is back on form, and Tommy has just been over here to teach the Yanks how to talk reet proper
