But you did say anymore than watch. You created an entire timeline.

 

Calm down, I just don't see it.

Strange, I can vaguely remember Dave Bowen, and well remember Mike England, and everyone else from Terry Yorath onwards, but I have no recollection of Mike Smith, despite him having two goes at the job.

Any relation to Jim Leishman, former Scottish football manager, current Labour politician in Fife (nuff said?), and terrible poet. Presumably not.

 

JIm also appeared in the Scotland Euro 2020 squad announcement pretending to order fish and chips. His acting was as good as that time he managed Dunfermline - no very!

Ah! Well Jim is about 16 years younger than Tommy - So unlikely dad son....I mean, they're not from an English cooncil estate! 

 

Otherwise, I have no idea...could be long lost cousins I guess, though probably the late Tommy is denying all familial relations from wherever he is. Well, wouldn't you?

Wow... Jim Leishman. 

He said: "Aye, all that poetry stuff... I regret it. I was stupid and I rose to the bait and time". 

I think nothing more needs to be said about the matter. 

@msc... I cannot imagine Lord Byron repenting of his poems.

Neither can I. Lord Byron wasn't shite at poetry.

Cooper is the 7th Leeds player from the starting line-up of the 1970 FA Cup final against Chelsea. They've also lost sub Mick Bates a couple of weeks ago (as well as manager Don Revie). In contrast, Chelsea have lost just 4 of their starting XI (plus manager Dave Sexton).

 

Of the survivors, Chelsea sub Marvin Hinton is the oldest followed by Eddie McCreadie (both 81), then Johnny Giles, 80. The youngest is Eddie Gray at a mere 73 (as is David Harvey, who replaced Gary Sprake for the replay). Chelsea's youngest survivors are David Webb & John Dempsey, both 75.

[DCI Frank Burnside 3,887]

That's some amount of losses given you'd imagine most of the players would have been in around 30 at the time of the final.
