Hundreds with but a single thought - Spurs.

just for you Dave, a Central News report...not great quality, but some great action and some nice shots of the Villa faithful and Sir Graham at the end

Enjoyed that video, cheers.

Good tackle by Mabbutt!

What was the last line by Phil Mepham "supporters will be confident of a victory over Wimbledon on Saturday". If only Platty had scored the penalty against Segars it might have been a different story.

It was before my time but why a turnip? I get that the dickheads at the sun wanted to unfairly hammer him but was there a reason behind that terminology?

England had just lost to Sweden.

Yes, the reason is that they are a bunch of ******.

There was a newspaper headline. Swedes 2 Turnips 1, or whatever the score was. It was actually aimed at the players.

They had morphed a turnip on to the face of Sir Graham to give him a turnip head.

When he got sacked,  the Scum had that on the front page with a headline along the lines of "That's Your Allotment".  Wankers.

given that we usually always lose in Sweden and given that that particular Sweden team finished 3rd in the 1994 World Cup it seems very over the top but also how Sir GT has been harshly remembered. The defeat against the US was poor but that was arguably the best US team, after us they lost 4-3 against Germany. Just a sign that they weren't mugs.

Was there once a quote from him about the then players thinking they could turn up, and eat Fish and Chips, and then play on a Saturday....
