Would like to know who's holding the other shoulder - of the shirt.
Bets, please.
I'm going for Nelson Mandela or his significant Other.

1983Austin Maestro Vanden Plas? the one with the talking dashboard?
Doesn't get any better than that as a player - this should be put on canvas. Spinky looks so proud, I bet he's still got that car. Look at Des Bremner workin' it like he's on Top Gear and Sid with his usual stop messing about and get back to work face, classic 80s football.

Tried 'we buy any car' they can't find any of these.

Spinksy was living with the cousin of a friend of mine and he gave us a lift home from the Talbot Pub in Bearwood in that car the week before the 94 final. I always thought it was an MG Montego rather than the Vanden Plas Maestro. What awful cars...The Vanden Plas Allegro was a sight to behold. The most awful styling ever. Any wonder the place went tits up when they were turning out those cars

The McLeish one was my immediate though. A moment that confirmed our decline, as well as our lack of awareness, knowledge and ambition in the boardroom.

Wow 1983 The Champions of Europe, and they get a Maestro. How times have changed, I wonder what cars the current CL winners are driving.
