Go fund me has had the huns dig deep for 3 grand, so a celeb night organised with Hately and co * diary commitments allowing * at the Louden for £20 a skull. No real news apart from it is "advanced".

charon 4,943 Posted September 10, 2018 Tipping up auld huns #673412 Not much about Eric Caldow since he went into an Ayrshire nursing home a couple of years ago with Alzheimer's. Former Scotland captain and probably the best full back in Europe in the early 60's, and was at WC in 58. A mate of his grandsons resorting to pm to answer a question about him on a forum gets my Spidey Senses tingling..... That, along with a Mauchline nursing home, no cunto deserves that for long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruyff's Turn 11 Posted September 16, 2018 Saw him play many times in the 1970's at Portman Rd. A big, effective centre back, Although as a Norwich City supporter I didn't always approve. Odd that a top player ends his days in a council bungalow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
