How great was Bozzie in this clip......Rico playing Tait like a fiddle. Superb.

Great clip!

I met Bozzie twice, once at a party in Birmingham and once in Tenerife and he was great company. I loved Rico as a player and thought he was massively underated but I met him three times, first time when we played a friendly at Witney Town just after he signed for us and he was moaning about the cold after his time playing in Spain (it was a warm summer night), second time at a party and he was slagging off a young barmaid because the bottle of champagne he ordered had taken too long to be served and was too warm and then in Tenerife when he was moaning about the heat. He obviously had temperature issues. But forget all that, the miserable git stitched Tait up a treat.

"Oh dear, oh dear, he must have been three yards offside."
Not when he was in his own half when the ball was kicked he wasn't you prat!

Good times. Feels like eons ago now. All that winning and competing for trophies and playing good football lark.
Tait was such a penis though. Gotta love that fan in the background when he's getting the red card. Ha Ha!
And yes, Jimmy Greave's commentary skills were shite.

I seem to remember Terry Cooper refusing to accept that he wasn't off-side in his post-match interview. How someone can get to the position of being manager of a team and not understand the off-side rule - at least as it was then anyway, when it wasn't as complicated as it is now - is beyond me.

See the local media hated us in them days too.
