Touch of the Kelvin there as Nigel spills the ball at the save.......I wonder if NC goes down to the trainning ground for a bit of goal keeper trainning? How the hell did players run in those days surely the blood supply to their legs was cut off by their shorts....

 

Nah, those old "short shorts" were no more restricting than boxer shorts. In fact your legs had coomplete freedom. when baggy shorts came in I always thought how much of a pain it must be having them flapping around your legs when running or stretching, let alone having cheating bastards grab them to hold you back. Interesting that in rugby they have moved to tight kit from baggy so as to be more streamlined and less easily grabbed.

all the younger fans are having a laugh ...but we all had haircuts like that at the time. Look at the old videos of Mick Channon.

 

In twenty years time, your kids / grandkids will ask... why did you play a lot of old men with bald heads?..and all the others had beards ?

 

Anyway, his determination and ambition is obvious - even at that age. Articulate, too.

 

Who could have thought that one day ...........(not him I bet ).

Yeah as someone said above that is actually Nigel Blackwell from 'Half Man Half Biscuit' he was a huge Tranmere fan. Cancelled a TV appearance once as there was a game on Friday night.

 

I was completely unaware when I made the screencap (and I have never heard of HMHB before!) - I just thought he looked fairly "lost" ;)

Only got Four Lads Who Shook the Wirral and some of their Peel Sessions, anything else worth checking out?

 

'Back in the DHSS' their first album is a classic.

 

Trumpton Riots and Fu ckin' ell it's Fred Titmus were two of my favourites.
