The White Pele -
For @bluelord49 & @Eggs & others - England training at Bellefield Bally at the front in what looks to be either building work or maybe it was getting closed? - notice the office window on the left upstairs where the Catt used to spy from -

….building work I imagine, Joey. That flat roof above the changing room remained until the great place was closed. I have a memory of Dave Watson & Steve Bruce sitting together up there watching an Everton v United A Team fixture (Bruce’s son, Alex, was playing for United).
We also had many younger players that made the grade in a big way - e.g. no way would we have let a USA left back go for a stupid low fee .....
They were brought through to win trophies etc .....

Couple of years later than ‘86 I think Joey, your captions telling you fibs again ?!Tony Cottee - on his debut where he scored a hat trick 1986 -
Yes they are .... doh - I think it may be 1987 as the house I am in now I had the game on the radio decorating a ceiling - marvellous how I can remember that but forget what happened yesterday ....

That's worth a thread....decorating while listening to the blues?Yes they are .... doh - I think it may be 1987 as the house I am in now I had the game on the radio decorating a ceiling - marvellous how I can remember that but forget what happened yesterday ....
No Tinternet then
The signing we needed to get us back into contention for titles
Colin Harvey was a great coach, evidently no good managing one to one with the players - came 6th then one poor season nowhere near relegation - had to walk - only if we were in that situation now - doh - won a Charity Shield too......
HK entered back on the scene as a failed Manager search ended - Colin ended back as coach - HK MK 2/3 was never the same as we know ......
