Met Filbert
Just watching you? Or did he commentate too?I stood having a slash at Millmoor in 1968 and David Coleman came in and stood next to me, quite remarkable!!
l was in there then !Forgot I dragged Shinji into the Brickies on Welford Rd when he'd stopped to pick up food from a restaurant close by. His wife didn't look impressed, but he was brilliant.
You’ve done us all a big favour there. Now we know for sure that Coleman wasn’t commentating on Anstey’s slash, only concentrating.Fucking hate predictive text. Try again. Commentating.
l came out of the Carlin stand after one game, Carlined up and Filbert, Vicky vixon and the Topps mascot were outside. IMet Filbert
Spoke to Banksy at a Sportsman s Dinner spoke about his incredible save against St John in 1963 semi..said he photo of it in his living roomMet Gordon Banks as an 11 year old as he was opening a kitchen shop in Wigston.
Asked him if the Pele save was his best save and he said in all modest it probably won't be in his top 3.
He was an absolute gentleman and I feel very privileged to have met him.
Never meet your hero but Gordon Banks definitely buck that one. An absolute gem of a man.Spoke to Banksy at a Sportsman s Dinner spoke about his incredible save against St John in 1963 semi..said he photo of it in his living room
A lovely man lovely company!!
Sat two down from Banks at Grace Road when I was seven and the Windies were in town. True gent indeed, and largely went unnoticed by the rest of the crowd, who were there for Sobers and Gibbs and Worrall.
Talking of goalies, won a few quid playing three card brag with Shilton in the back seat of his car. Scooped it with ace high, even though he had a prial of threes.
Ahh right this explains why you have a bully complex, you got flattened by a football at an early age, bout time you got over it and stop dragging up the past palAs a lad I lived in Liverpool and supported Everton, who were the successful club at the time, so all my mates were Evertonians too. Used to sneak into the ground for the last 15 mns of each home match when they opened the big gates. (It was better than the boys pen which was like an American jail, rows of terraces high up in one corner behind high iron bars.) Squeezed my way down the terraces to the wall at pitch side. One time it was v. Stoke. An old, bandy-legged Stanley Matthews was their right winger, and at one point he was charging down the wing, looking all muddy as it was a wet winter's day, when the pitch was gloopy and the old fashioned brown balls would get very wet and heavy. Can't remembe why, but he chose to boot the ball out of play - right into my face. My head was knocked right back and it felt like my nose had broke and flattened like a boxer's and hurt like hell, my eyes were watering and I was mortified the blokes would think I was crying. Wet mud was spattered over my face. All the blokes around were saying "fuckn'ell lad dat muster'urt!" and the like, patting me on the head. I'll never forget it!
WTF is wrong with you matel came out of the Carlin stand after one game, Carlined up and Filbert, Vicky vixon and the Topps mascot were outside. I
n my drunken head if l punched Filbert with a hook to his nose, his head would spin around and obviously it wouldn't hurt anyone.
The head didn't and it wasn't as funny as l thought it would be.
Then Vicky Vixen started punching and kicking me, a bit unexpected but thats fucking mascots for ya !!
vicious bastards !!!!

That was the save was behind that goal ,he took off horizontally to take the ball of St Johns footThis may be the photo. I was at that game but only 14 at the time.
Like you're not dragging up the recent past with this? Clearly I got under your skin. Bully boys can't take it like they give it, can they, bully boy?Ahh right this explains why you have a bully complex, you got flattened by a football at an early age, bout time you got over it and stop dragging up the past pal
You may be right but I don't remember it so clearly. The one I do remember was in 1966 in R4 of the FA Cup at Birmingham.That was the save was behind that goal ,he took off horizontally to take the ball of St Johns foot
Best save ever in my book
Are you going to cry?Like you're not dragging up the recent past with this? Clearly I got under your skin. Bully boys can't take it like they give it, can they, bully boy?
fucking hell, how tall are you then ?I remember many years ago in Debenams in the Town forgot the name of the Shires back then but I nearly stood on Gordon Banks out shopping with his missus
