HarryBosch Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Marsh, Hudson, Best, Osgood, George have been on so far. Great programme.... Who were our Mavericks over the years and who've you seen play against us? Harkins and Baxter of late. Rick Holden was probably my first... Is it a pre requisite that they had to like a night out?

rosa Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 When I saw they had Harry Redknapp on I wondered whether he'd mention Alan Groves, but leeslover pointed out that there's no TV footage of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nottingham Forest had a few mavericks but Cloughie knocked them into shape..even the portly John Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea who Joe Mercer was before your comment, but this is a decent read. Sounds like he might have been onto something good after we failed to reach the WC too. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2012/oct/11/forgotten-story-joe-mercer-england-manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the mention of Malcolm Allison, I met him shorlty before he passed away, it was so sad to see what was vibrant young man reduced to a shadow of himself.

Stagger Lee Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Great Joe Mercer story but at the foot of the article is a link for a WHU/Redknapp/fan plays for team story that made me smile, really worth the read Why didn't Joe or Jimmy pick me http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/05/harry-redknapp-played-fan-west-ham Edited May 6, 2015 by Stagger Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Stainrod and Groves for us. Best was the best. Others include Worthington, McKenzie, Marsh, Stan the man Bowles, Hudson. Osgood more of an old fashioned centreforward, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Similar to Jack Touhy playing for latics, used to be a season ticket holder two seasons ago! A bit silly of him buying a ST when he'd have got free tickets each week for being a Centre of Excellence player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC0AFC Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 A bit silly of him buying a ST when he'd have got free tickets each week for being a Centre of Excellence player... Na, he got given a free season ticket in the RRE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
