July 26, 201313 yr I still hate Tranmere and Aldridge, plastic scouse cunts. I love how we had the last laugh and they've been looking up at where we are ever since. Anti Bolton songs, the lot. TIL NEXT TIME CAPSLOCK COLIN
July 26, 201313 yr Has anyone clicked on the link? It's obviously a shoe-in to create a talking point the article links to an interview which is quite interesting though. should anyone wish to go over old ground.... http://fourfourtwo.com/interviews/one-on-one/380/article.aspx
July 26, 201313 yr Orville and Cuddles, although the rivlary tended to be quite one sided. He hated that duck.
July 26, 201313 yr My mum and my brothers mrs Sounds like my kinda sport. TIL NEXT TIME CAPSLOCK COLIN
July 26, 201313 yr Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men. Everything was fine until Bill copped off with Little Weed behind the potting shed, much to Ben's chagrin.
July 26, 201313 yr Author Brilliant bit of sledging from Merv Hughes to Michael Atherton: "I'll bowl you a fucking piano you Pommie poof, let's see if you can play that"
July 26, 201313 yr Author It's obviously a shoe-in to create a talking point the article links to an interview which is quite interesting though. should anyone wish to go over old ground.... http://fourfourtwo.com/interviews/one-on-one/380/article.aspx I wonder why Tranmere's chief exec described Allardyce as "a little peculiar"? It's not really explained in the article.
July 26, 201313 yr Ken Barlow and Mike Baldwin. Bad blood there stretching into decades. Aye but who was there comforting Mike as he lay dying on the cobbles?
July 26, 201313 yr Michael Atherton had a bit of needle with Alan Donald also. Gets covered in Athertons book. I always thought that rivalry was bigger than the Hughes one.
July 26, 201313 yr Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men. Everything was fine until Bill copped off with Little Weed behind the potting shed, much to Ben's chagrin. Nothing happened he could not get a plopa lobon
July 26, 201313 yr Nothing happened he could not get a plopa lobon Aye, that bastard Ben had cut his string. Still, they got together when it mattered e.g. the time Sooty and Sweep took liberties in the garden. As Bill put it in his book Bill and Ben, puppet hard men "The only time I ever heard that bastard Sooty speak was after I bottled him; and as for fucking Sweep - well, put it this way the squeaky voiced sod was an octave higher after Ben booted him hard in the nuts".
