John Wark, George Burley in the same team?

Sad news.

 

 

Robson as manager.........Butcher, the Dutch pair, Mariner, Brazil, Mills etc....great team.

 

Their European exploits were what I remember most.

Mick Mills was a fine player but apparently not the sharpest tool in the box. Seems he and a couple of team mates got stuck in a hotel left. When they were rescued a wee while later, they were all stripped down to their pants. Seems Mills, their captain, had convinced everyone that they might die from overheating and instructed them to remove their clothes. Or so they all said...

Sad to hear about Beattie. Wee bit young to remember a lot about him but remember that terrific team of his well.

It was a long time ago but I seem to recall there was a great Kevin Beattie tale from Terry Butchers autobiography from years ago. Ipswich were playing in sub zero conditions somewhere in Eastern Europe (old Soviet Union I think) and all the players were wearing gloves, long sleeves, tights etc. Beattie just laughed at them and ran onto the surface in shorts and a short sleeved top and played a blinder.
