Also played for Zambia.

Just Nigel Sims and Peter McParland from the starting 11.

Each year I become more and more proud of being born in 1957 (albeit in August)

Post by: Comrade Blitz on September 27, 2016, 12:47:04 PM: There was an event at the South Bank years ago (1998? organised by WSC or Philosophy Football?). One of the sessions was a discussion featuring John Charles, Jackie Sewell and another footballer. Afterwards we had a chat with Jackie and he signed a book for me. He said his greatest wish was to see Villa win an FA Cup again.

According to my dad, Jackie Sewell was a great player but had the amazing ability to come off the muddiest of pitches absolutely spotless with white shorts looking like he'd just taken them out of the kit hamper. I don't think he meant it as a compliment.
