Good article about Dorigo from today’s Guardian.

Little bit about Villa, interesting if not surprising stories about Souness.

Good player. I was gutted when we sold him.
His dad came over to the UK with him and worked at the Jag in Castle
Brom for years.

Jesus, anytime someone posts a thread title of a retired player/manager, my first reaction is "No, don't tell me he's dead?"

Good player.
I notice he didn't mention his time at Chelsea. I remember he was playing for them in the New Years Day game in 1990 and Tony Daley tore him to shreds.

I liked his recount of asking Tony Barton if he could play for Australia against Fiji etc.

Two Tone. Can easily imagine a young Daley bopping along to Baggy Trousers.

My thoughts exactly.  Glad he's still alive.
