Imagine him in the Bayern Munich game. He wouldn't have come out for the second half.I would try to fit Jags into that team, if only for his amazingly inspiring captaincy qualities...

Well, if there was one man who cost us the title it most certainly wasn't the one who scored 40 goals for us
Without Lineker and his 40 goals we wouldn't have been anywhere near winning it that year.
My own particular scapegoat?
The groundsman at Lansdowne Road, Dublin.
No wonder I hate sodding rugby
I spoke with Colin Harvey about it one time over the summer in Rotterdam. He pinpointed losing at Luton on the plastic pitch having been one up until quite late on. His attitude was you should never lose once in front. It is about application and concentration from then on. My own memory of that game was that we were never comfortable on the plastic but basically could not decide whether to stick or twist, get the second or sit tight. Luton were decent at home.Well, if there was one man who cost us the title it most certainly wasn't the one who scored 40 goals for us

Sorry to be pedantic, but this thread should be entitled CLASS OF 1985.

Harsh that mate,that groundsman worked 18 hrs a day for 200 punts a week and a bag of spuds,not a millionaire with magic bootsWell, if there was one man who cost us the title it most certainly wasn't the one who scored 40 goals for us

Agreed mate it's all Linekers fault,Les Phillips ffshe was worse that night than stuey barlow in the "Rosenthal"derby at the pit,must have missed half a dozen one on ones withe the keeper,then les Phillips in injury time,gggrrrrrr!!!
It got pretty brutal that night,on and off the pitch,Reidy must have lost half his bodyweight in blood that night and I remember the crowd in the enclosure having a right do with the German bench,Darracott went over to appeal for calm,no-one took any notice,what a nightlolImagine him in the Bayern Munich game. He wouldn't have come out for the second half.
I know mate,I know he got forty goals but we "accommodated" him that year,went a bit more direct with the through balls for his pace and normally he could finish,not that night though and every time I see him on MOTD thats my biggest memory of him not scoring at Anfield,just Oxford,bloody Oxford,I need therapy I'm surelolAgreed mate it's all Linekers fault,Les Phillips ffs

Class of 1986 featured Lineker, a completely different style of play geared towards Lineker's strengths, and ultimately... disappointment as we ended up trophyless that season, and beaten by the Reds in both the league and cup.
Class of 1985 though... different story.
Seriously?the old fella next to Kendall?That video ... class.
Who was the old fella sat next to Kendall in that Luton game?
Heath - never was the same after that injury. My mate trod on him on purpose and the araldite I used on his base badly effected his balance.
Let's remember too, that these lads played with a heavier and harder ball, most modern players wouldn't be able to kick.
