  1. You’d expect whoever initially piped up with the Chesterfield plan to have been led off to the bottom block, but only Latics could agree to that. What a shit show. If Chesterfield have got anything about them, they’ll have print offs of James Norwood and his pre season ‘let’s go win the league’ nonsense stuck up all over the gaff. Can’t think of anything worse.

    As an illustration of how Charlton was famous throughout the world: I was in Bukhara in about 1987 or 1988, then part of the USSR and now Uzbekistan I think. I was wandering down a street sightseeing with my wife and a little kid about 9 or 10 years old kicked a ball towards us. This was of course pre-internet, pre-mobile phones, in a part of the world culturally very different to Moscow or Leningrad, never mind western Europe. So I kicked it back to him and he must have heard me speaking English or guessed we were, because he just grinned and started shouting "Bobby Charlton, Bobby Charlton!". I remember saying to my wife that it just showed how famous he was, about 15 years after he'd retired from playing.

    Perhaps it was a compliment on your first touch?
