Whatever you think about 'Old Ashley' he's a complete professional who has never given us less than maximum effort. Compare and contrast with Delph, who came here with a big time Charlie attitude and felt he was doing us a favour. Of course...
Seeing Joe Royle looking older bought it home how time moves on. He was the same age I am now when we won the FA cup. He's the same age as my dad almost to the day.
Getting old is way better than the alternative and he seemed as mentally alert...
I know it’s a long way, but you’d think as our most successful captain he’d be there. Must have had an important prior arrangement to miss out on yesterday.
I've been going for over 50yrs and I'd happily stand outside for Walter Smith's widow to take my seat and represent him.
Hope this helps you get over it.
I think it must have been quite sobering for the hierarchy of the club today and the current players. When they look at the calibre of some of our former players on the pitch Kay, Royle, Latchford, Reid, Steven, Bracewell etc that is the standard...
Not long got home.
What an emotional roller coaster of a day.
Spent it with my dad doing what we first went to do together more than 50yrs ago. Every week he took me from then until I had kids of my own and it was their turn.
We've laughed, sang...
