Not a footballing icon to many but sad to hear of the death of Chris Nicholl today. Famous for once having scored all four goals in a Desmond. sorry what is a Desmond?

I hope you do bring the seadogs some luck byased , they seem to have 'gone off the boil' a bit , not out of the promotion race yet but need to stay in touch and finish strong. And Buxton can be a hard team to beat , star man for me De Gerolamo, good goalscorer
Yes , I looked on-line at the Rushall Olympic squad but didn't recognise anyone . I'll just be pleased to get to a live game tonight after a weekend without any . At least I'll see some of my favourite players with Farsley, including former York and Scarborough old boy Michael Coulson , very skillful, but he's knocking on a bit .Dyson is on loan at Scarborough from York but York have just taken back the Finlay Barnes.
Going to see managerless York city this weekend, they're bouncing along just above the relegation zone, Neal Ardley sacked this week seemed to be a bit out of his depth, think he's been used to higher level footy and I grew a bit tired of him criticising players , when his team selections were strange to say the least. Onwards and upwards I hope

6 loses on the trot for Scarborough, they certainly need a change of fortune soon.
In the FA Cup Coventry became the first team into the hat for the quarter-finals. Felt for Maidstone who were 3 down in no time at all, game over.
3 games tonight including Leicester and Blackburn from the Championship against Premier league opposition. I think I'd like to see Man City dumped out, otherwise I'm not too fussed.
9 changes for Leicester from the team that played Leeds United on Friday. Still a strong team but perhaps now they have only a 6 point lead they may be prioritising their automatic promotion place, and I wouldn't blame them for that.

Leeds v Chelski tomorrow ....... OK ChelUSA since Ibramovich sold up. Long time rivalry ... very long ... with my brother-in-law and additionally my best man. Just watched a short clip of the 1970 FA Cup replay ............ coo! Giles, Bremner, Hunter, Hollins, Harris and various others in 'action'. WARNING - some viewers may find this disturbingThis would have finished up as a 5 -a-side if they played like that today. Looking forrwd to tomorrow!!

One bit of the clip shows him trying to remove Eddie Gray's legs below the knee, three times in fact. I another Osgood is fool enough to go through Jack Charlton from behind ... B ig Jack's response fairly levelled matters ... and Osgood.

Looking forrwd to tomorrow!! actually LUFC lost twice to them in earlier seasons in the FA Cup when you would have thought they had used up all their luck 66 4th Rd and 67 semi……aaagh too much pain too much too much though league wins of 7-0 and 5-2 were positives and I have seen us win at Stamford Bridge in the early 80s

All the violence was coming from the Chelsea players with our plucky young lads just trying to defend themselves of course! I am one eyed when it comes to LUFC.
How standards have changed, we certainly don't want to go back to that kind of thing of course, but it seems you can get a yellow card for looking at an opposition player without a smile on your face these days.
I remember going to Stamford bridge, must have been 68 or 69, and the home fans throwing coins, with as much force as they could muster, into the away fans enclosure.
The old penny was nasty if you got one in the face.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/524161921 yellow card! Yet more modern refs would have given 6 or 11. The reality is of course that if the ref had given a few more yellows early doors the game might have been different and the later fouls not have happened

But I remember getting hit by an old 12-sided threepenny bit at Odsal, That did hurt! I was on the front row, and they were using a blanket to take a collection. I worked out the 'Desmond', which includes two own-goals, obviously, in this context. Similar to a Michelle, in cricket.

Things move on and a Michelle now would probably need to rhyme with Obama, nothing springs to mind. Michelle Pfeiffer on the other hand was one of my favourites actresses, extremely attractive but somehow attainable.
Not attainable as it turned out, but I could still dream of such things in the 80's.
