Bally with Labby - just maybe after this game the captaincy should have been handed back to Labby the following season -?
Bally - Mr Perpetual Motion -
The best midfield I have ever had the pleasure of seeing - The Holy Trinity -

Player Valuation: £8m
It's impossible for the young'uns to know just how good he - and t'other two - actually were ... there just isn't enough footage from the sixties available to watch.
Maybe no player is bigger than the club, but for a while, as far as many fans were concerned, Bally was the club.
...he was very old and very retired, I was very young and when he clashed with me it hurt. There’s very few who hurt you in those circumstances, I think they are very special.
Where you playing for the reds / no disgrace like johnny Morrissey was a red fan who played for us.......?
Loved your line: The Devils Club was born!
Christ. Weren't we lucky to watch these players every week, also Arsenal, Leeds, Chelsea & Spurs and
they all had a handful of marvellous players, there was only one team at the time that played boring
football out of the top 7, yeah you're right RS. RS won the league in the 60s with 14 players used in
42 league games. Shankley got them to play the away games for a point (Ale-house football), boot
the ball in the crowd without tackling, the big hoof up the front from the defence........the headless
chickens chasing (Hunt & the Monkey) much like these days attacking.
