I thought he'd walk after the Chesterfield game... He didn't. Not sure he'll walk tonight. Genuinely gutted but he's too much of a legend to have his legacy tarnished.
He should walk. Keep his head high and be welcome back at BP in an ambassadorial role for the rest of his life. It's not happening on the pitch and there's nothing to suggest it will do.
Let's have it right... If it was now, he'd be all over Facebook being filmed by some toothless Yorkshireman in trackies. Well before my time but, from what I know, legal or not, it was morally questionable at best.
Gave a tab to an old bloke in outside the River Head in Marsden. Got talking and it turns out he was George Sievwright. Played for us alongside Jimmy Frizz in the early 60's. Told me 3 times that he used to say to opposition forwards... "If you do that again, you'll end up over the road". The opposition replied "why, what's over the road". "The fucking hospital" George would reply in a stern Scottish accent. Definitely a different era... Got the impression that time hadn't been overly kind to George or his finances. Was a nice bloke though and seemed appreciative that there was an Oldham fan over the wrong side of the hills who was genuinely interested in his tales.
