An interesting point mind, if we were all our own bosses all the time today - how many of us would try and escape our main jobs by means of organising that very situation?

The Sun and Mirror have both been pretty quick on the mark recently when it comes to Serie A and La Liga deaths recently. I think that 1992 Uefa Cup final was what made me assume he'd QO, the Torino team at the lime was a lovely little outfit (Enzo Scifo, Roberto Mussi, a baby-faced Christian Vieri....)

gcreptile 10,970 Posted March 29, 2018 Can't believe I didn't pick him for anything. I remember, there was some ok-looking picture of him late last year, so he disappeared from my teams. I also assumed that he wouldn't be unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted March 29, 2018 Tbh, I checked him on my long list in December but completely forgot to put him in anything this year. Only use of dead pooling with him at all is in 40/40 where the Dead Cow chose him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted March 31, 2018 Watching BT Sport's celebration of 90s Italian football documentary at the moment trying to spot any signs of Ray Wilkins being clearly in deterioration. Can't see it, but Joe Jordan looks like shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted April 1, 2018 Interview with Tommy Docherty this morning to celebrate his 90th birthday. Sharp as a tack and his voice is exactly the same as 40 years ago, vocally hasn't aged a jot. Don't think he's going anywhere soon, and with Bobby Brown similar at 93, Craig Brown or Bertie Vogts may be the next Scotland manager to peg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,444 Posted April 1, 2018 ^ Walter Smith or George Burley could be next, imo. Could certainly see one or two of the younger ones going before Tommy Docherty anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted April 2, 2018 Update on the other hun bar Wilkins circling, Mr Hubbard. Looked a goner a fortnight ago, bit unfortunately for my Cup team he rallied, tho he cannot tell New Year from New York, and doesn't recognise anycunt. The other thing I gleaned was the old bastard managed to pass his final degree for Brotherhood in the Masonic just last year. Trying to ensure his place in Heaven. Tough shit, he's for the Fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
