Cheers Cosmic, we were at the 67 final. Watching that again reminded me that Jimmy Robertson was some good winger.
No doubt he would get slated today, but beat his man time after time and could cross the ball. :clap:

And the biggest mistake Bill Nick ever made was trading him for the useless David Jenkins with the Arse.

Did anybody notice Pat Jennings trademark one-handed grab from a corner kick in the 67 Final against Chelsea? How Robbo could learn something from the old master.

So just like Aaron Lennon, apart from the beating his man and crossing the ball bits :razz:.

The Sheffield United keeper briefly glimpsed in the 1901 clip is the legendary William Henry 'Fatty' Foulke.

The guy pulling his shorts up? I remember him from the 1987/88 (?) Panini sticker album.

He finally hit about 22 stone, and was supposed once to have picked up an opposition striker who'd pissed him off and held him upside down by his ankles. He also chased a referee into his dressing room. The unfortunate ref shut himself in a cupboard and Fatty had to be restrained from ripping the doors off the hinges to get at him.

I tried to pick out my grand-dad in the crowd at the Bridge in 1921, but no luck. :grin:

Moochos grassy arse - really enjoyed those clips.
