YOU AIN'T GETTING IN.

I've got whisky...

And @chrismpw still moans like a bitch.

I will always moan while people and society are complicit in handing cash to greedy media middle men who do nothing significant to contribute to society, as they acquire personal fortunes, while I worked a lifetime to improve society for much less personal wealth. Simply accepting the status quo, to protect myself from being called a moaning batch, is entirely negative and defeatist. After all I am the most quietly positive and optimistic realist you'd ever wish to meet.

Wagon Wheels were definitely bigger

And tasted really nice. Today's Wagon wheels are cheap and nasty.

Gola were the choice of the school team footballer when I was in secondary school 74-79. I had a pair of Gola championship (black with white stripes) and my first pair of "screw in" boots. Gola league,(black with luminous green stripes). As a maurauding right back for my school footy team, i looked superb, but was an averageplayer

Oh the memories my first pair of screw in studs boots was Lawrence circa 1971.
Loved those boots so much when I cleaned them I used to wash the laces as well.
The rich kids had George Best Stylo Matchmakers which had the laces on the side of
the boots. I also think they were purple! Happy days indeed.

I think it was Joseph de Maistre who said “very nation has the wagon wheel it deserves” or something similar.

Hi, I'm new to this thread.
Who do you reckon is the oldest poster on here.
Well, I remember seeing the likes of Billy Wright, Nat Lofthouse play. Also teams like Bradford Park Avenue and New Brighton were in the 3rd division North.

…I’d be surprised if @Methuselah isn’t our oldest and one of our most respected posters. I can’t remember how old he is but i posted a picture of Lime Street from the year he was born and there was plenty of horses on view.

Thank you for your kind words. I think I may be second oldest. There is a gent on here who served in Malaya (as I did) who is about a year older than me.

…that would be about the time I was born, 1956. I remember saying the beautiful Doris Day singing ‘Que Será’ was number 1 when I was born & I think you said that brought back memories of you being in Singapore.
