Round up

 

Congratulations of Celtic on the Treble

Get well soon to my sister

Manchester City won the FA cup final 

I watched the best of Saint and Greavsie on ITV 4. There glory days of the early 80s

1: So interesting to see people like Andy Gray, Gordon Strachan, and Dennis Wise as young men. The late Ray Wilkins was referred to casually as Butch. There was a glimpse of Old Trafford before modernization instead of a megastore we saw a Nissan Hut repurposed as a gift store  There was John Barnes at the peak of youth - and Graham Taylor as a gym bro. 

2: Greaves is in very good shape despite his age and his well known problems with alcohol. To be fair so is  Ian St John. - We see this when Greaves is training with Watford he manages to nutmeg them a few times. Then Greaves has to compete against John Barnes leaping over hurdles carrying weights. Obviously Barnes wins- but Greaves is not too far away despite 20 years of age and years of abuse of the bottle

3: There was lots of nice old school drip

4: There is an outside broadcast where Greaves goes to Catskills New York State and meets a young Mike Tyson-Greaves describes Tyson as such a nice man. It is a puff piece to say the least

 Then Greaves with an exceptional footballers brain notes that Tyson power comes from his lower torso and legs. Tyson then responds by throwing dummy punches at Greaves- which Greaves who is not a small or physically weak man- notes later was terrifying Greaves tells it straight to Frank Bruno that Tyson will beat him

A pleasant trip down memory lane
