2 hours ago, Joey Russ said:

I reckon she may be more of a longer case than a fraud. I mean, if she was following Errol Christie’s timeline, she’s still living at this point. She would have to live to December to beat his longetivity...

Speaking of Errol Christie, it’s been one year since this legend was counted out aged 53.

A fitting WC memorial: Gyula Grosics, goalie for the legendary Hungarian team of the 1950s and arguable inventor of the sweeper-keeper role, died today in 2014 aged 88.

One of the great Grosics tales (for he is one of those great football figures): in 1955-6, despite being frequently under house arrest on espionage charges, he still managed to successfully hide rebels and their weapons in his own house. While undergoing surveillance. And he got away with it.
