DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted March 2, 2017 Another clip of Tommy Gemmell worth seeing is the part he played in the infamous Battle of Montevideo (about 2mins 50seconds in). As a fan of violent encounters (on the pitch) this one takes some beating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dead Cow 620 Posted March 3, 2017 On 4/12/2016 at 11:57, msc said: As for Reims, French legends Raymond Kopa (b. 1931) and Michel Hidalgo (b. 1933) are still going, as are, apparently, Raoul Giraudo (b. 1932), Robert Siatka (b. 1934) and Jean Templin (b. 1928), though those latter three are rather more obscure. Kopa has died aged 85. Unique DDP pick, therefore awaiting a QO. Edit: Daily Mail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
