And Ken McNaught! Went on to have a great career at Villa. I believe we sold him because we had Mark Higgins coming through who they thought would become an England regular. Pejic was terrific for us - Gordon Lee's first signing.

Last time we won 3-2 at Molineux we went on to win the league, 69/70. Just saying...;)

The moor between Stanage Edge and Burbage Edge

4 yearling stags first thing this morning.

Thanks Joey - I've been following from afar whenever I could ;)

Top photo - Vogts and Netzer, two great players. I remember Netzer running England ragged at Wembley a year or so later. Bottom photo is their goalie, Wolfgang Kleff - he had a great game that night.

The deer that thinks it's a sheep. Apparently the deer's mother was killed last September so it found safety in a flock of sheep. It was about sheep size then and, devoid of its mother's milk, stayed small until recently. It behaves like a sheep now, even following the flock into the farmer's...

Further to the above I'd add that if, or rather when (I'm an optimist), the political situation eases sufficiently for tourism to become more feasible I'd recommend Ramallah as the best place to stay. It's a beautiful city and certainly the most liberal in Palestine. There are plenty of...

That's the key for me, he kept making runs and getting into scoring positions. Easy to hide as a striker - hide behind a defender, always be just a yard away etc - but he didn't do that today. Kept going, kept at it - needs to keep that level up in the coming games and get on a scoring run.

Back from 5 days in Palestine for a family wedding. Saw a small herd of Nubian ibex about 20 yards away from a busy road just a mile or two from Jericho. This one was particularly inquisitive.

You're right mate - show's how traumatic it was!

Many of us are used to Everton wrecking Christmas but 52 years ago today they surpassed themselves when Alan Ball was sold to Arsenal, breaking Evertonian hearts the world over. His departure spelt the end for the 1970 championship winning team and signalled a period of rebuilding. It took us...

Has he left school? Presumed he'd stay on until 18. Mitch Stanley and Tom Hartley also picked, as is Alex Davies. Looks a very young squad overall.

Must listen to the Captain again!
