October 9, 200816 yr Watched most of it. Great to see the likes of Ossie, Hutch & Chopper playing in front of packed & noisy crowds. Love watching old footage like that and reminding myself what crap, muddy pitches players had to perform on back then - "if you're good you can play on anything..........." The one drawback was the fact that John Hollins was the studio guest doing all the talking. Just can't stand the bloke after he f**ked things up for us back in the '80's.
October 9, 200816 yr Where can I find ESPN Classic? Nibs - I know what you mean about Hollins' management f*ck ups, but in fairness he was one of our best and most consistent players for well over 10 years.
October 9, 200816 yr John Hollins as our manager was not a good spell for the Club but memories of him as a player are still very fond ones...he even had a shot on him in those days that almost rivalled the power of Dirty Leeds Peter Lorimer, loved the bloke back then :D
October 9, 200816 yr its a shame they didnt have chopper in, would love to hear him talk about the cup final and replay. hollins didnt really want to talk about the battle, i bet chopper would have, and with a great big grin on his face....
October 9, 200816 yr He's still managing somwhere, non league I believe. Edited October 9, 200816 yr by midlandblue

October 9, 200816 yr Thanks for the info, fellas - I don't have Sky, so I'll just have to imagine how good it was! :D
