I think Jim's got a hammy at present, but the dwarf shitcunt may be back in the summer if he doesn't want more than a pony a week.

If the younger generation get the chance,watch some old footage..He just made it look so simple.Good players make the game look effortless and he certainly did.

I see Jimmy on his debut at Barnet in the 1970's.I ran on the pitch and put my arm around him and I was in the local paper that week.I would love to find that photo.

Plenty of old football footage on you tube for anyone who wants to wallow in nostalgia for a while.

If you do look at the footage of that game, look out for Ronnie Boyce's goal. Joe Corrigan the Citeh goalie took a goal kick and I'm not sure if it was a windy day but it was a shocking pitch, usual Manchester mud pile. Anyway he turns round and heads back towards the goal, Ronnie Boyce volleyed the ball straight back from somewhere near the halfway line and as Corrigan turns round to face us, the ball screams past his ear into the net.

Unfortunately Ederson doesn't do long goal kicks.

At 81 and in poor health, I shouldn't think he would go for too much tbh. 😆
