In the quarter finals, Wolverhampton Wanderers 2, Coventry City 3. Coventry led 1-0 until the last ten minutes. Wolves scored twice and packed their defence but lost two goals in added time. Lesson: do your defending in the opponents’ half, not your own.

Jimmy Gordon of the Rangers. He’s the stalwart chosen by Maryhill BC to feature in their banner.

The media fawned over Dick Advocaat until they discovered that he wasn’t going to fawn over them and possibly worse, was going to be very successful.

I think your dad could be right.

Could be. Better than the 1962 side? Maybe.

Juan Fangio posing for the camera in a F1 winning Maserati.

Third of the thirties Ms, Meiklejohn, Morton and Bob McPhail, referred to by McCoist as “Mr McPhail”. McPhail’s book is worth a look.

David Meiklejohn, another of the great captains.

On the occasions when Beale did pick Sterling, I don’t remember much praise for him here.

Shave the beard and that’s Bobby Shearer.

The truly great R. C. Hamilton, Elgin City, Queens Park, Rangers and Scotland, a couple of small clubs then ending his football career on a high back at the City. Captain of the cricket club, businessman, educationalist and Lord Provost of Elgin.

Relegation of Everton is not necessary for the scouse greetin’.

City v Arsenal apart, all three should win every one of these games. A City victory over Arsenal or even a draw and the title goes to Anfield. On the other hand, things don’t usually work out the way you think they will. If they did, bookies would be paupers.

Realism must prevail.

Not a duffer among them. Every one of them a walk in to the team today.

Mighty Don Kitchenbrand. The ball must go into the net, the ‘keeper as well if need be and the centre half too, just to make sure.

Thoroughbreds now by a nose.

For Liverpool, I hope but not for the Gunners, thoroughbreds coming up on the rails.

He did indeed but the Gunners go top. A draw at Anfield tomorrow and they’ll stay there.

Two great fullbacks, Bobby Cox and Bobby Shearer followed by two great ‘keepers Bert Slater and Billy Ritchie.

@Uilleam posted this photo in the Match Thread. The original Lisbon Lions, 3-0 for the holidaymakers I don’t know the chap in the demob suit at the end of the line but from him, Waddell, Gillick, Thornton, Cox, Duncanson, Caskie, Woodburn, McColl, Young, Brown, Shaw (trying to hide so as not to be seen holding a bunch of flowers) and Mr Struth.

Well said. I think that entitles you to a seat in the Chamber of Old Fogeys.

This great force of nature was in awe of the distance John Greig could hoof a rugby ball.

Formidable exponent of the art of goal scoring, Uwe Seeler Hamburg SV and FDR
