    Morten Gamst Pedersen

    .....but you once had money and like Chelski bought the title, but all the players realised that Rovers were shit (well Blackburn in general) and left. Playing Champions League football you should have attracted more class players but you didn't. Your class players moved on and you were...

    The GRAHAM ROBERTS thread

    Another of our greats, it may be my mind playing tricks, but I seem to remember him losing a few teeth in the '81 final, when Houghton kicked him in the mouth.

    The JIMMY GREAVES thread

    That was the first time I saw Spurs live. Feb 68. We wore blue tops and white shorts that day. Jimmy was my hero (along with big Pat) and I had a pair of JG endorsed boots. He once said that he retired too early and had the chance to go to Derby County under Clough in 1971 and regrets turning...
