After the Greaves Newbon argument I had a letter published in the Shoot magazine, arguing against Greaves. Got five quid for it as I remember. Does anyone have any idea how I'd be able to find it?

You’ve probably spent it long since, mate. And I think the notes have changed since then so they’re no longer legal tender anyway.

Try eBay. I found the 2000AD on there I’d had a letter printed in.

Is that right?

I think the banks would exchange them for some time afterwards.

Him and Cooper are very funny




Jimmy Greaves contradicting himself in the commentary. "He must have been three yards offside.....taking nothing away from him".

Stonewall.sending off and legitimate goal, Greavsie is moaning that the linesman didnt agree with his incorrect viewpoint.

Pillock. Always thought he was a lazy pundit. Then again Lawro superseded him there.



I had to lawyer up and go to court about ten years back. I have no idea how the subject came up but in one conversation with the guy representing me he told me that he had represented Paul Tait in court so many times he had lost count.

Just listening to Greaves afterwards, this can be chalked up as another one of those moral wins for Birmingham City.  Their honours board in relation to these types of battling wins is unsurpassed anywhere in world football.
