Reading biogs of many footballers 60s through to now, I would argue standards have gone up! Souness, LeTiss, Sir Bobby (Charlton and Robson), Mick Rathbone and a couple of Clough-related books are ones I've read over this past summer alone, and some of the drinking stories make Best look teetotal! I don't think it's new or a decline in standards as much as a more open profile.

I fly at 5pm (GMT+1) and land about 6.15 (GMT) and I'm already a nervous flyer

Larry Lloyd talks similarly about Clough always making him crave praise, so he'd strive to go that extra step every game. The praise only ever came once (when they won the league title) and it was 'if we won it, you must've played alright this season'.

Knowing that Samuel is out for the season, I wonder if we'll see another striker come in? Not sure if it's needed, personally, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Shit, poor guy ?

I'm still not over that ?

Alan Mahon (I think) was the last to move between us for a fee.

I think the 1-year contract instead of atrial is our way of saying 'We're happy to commit to you, but you need to earn it for yourself'. A trial is too non-committal.

Rovers' mouth piece - the LT
Mike E replied to Wing Wizard Windy Miller's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's quick to call people names and REALLY get personal on Facebook, too. Amazed he's still in that job; then again maybe I'm not, given the state of the LET. -
I think a big clue that he's at least got SOMETHING special is that he can run with the ball and pass/shoot all without looking at it. That kind of awareness can't really be taught but he already has it.
