Daggers Posted 25 February 2024 Posted 25 February 2024 Bowles had a good innings, by far one of the most beautiful players of the game. In a time where butchery dominated, Stan was a shaft of pure gold genius. One of the two players who made me fall in love with football. RIP.
SpacedX Posted 28 February 2024 Posted 28 February 2024 Chris Nicholl, former Villa and Saints player (amongst others), who famously scored all four goals in a 2-2 draw against us in March 1976, has passed away at the age of 77. His death appears to be dementia related and as a prolific and exceptional header of the ball, there is strong indication that like Jeff Astle, repeated minor traumas had contributed to his condition and ultimately, demise.

I watched him and Si do a cooking demo once and they were brilliant, two funny guys. I've also got all their books and autobiography too. All really good works. RIP Dave.

You say good temperament and many must present the same characteristics, but how do you know that dog would not randomly attack, as so many seem to? As I'm sure you know, the legislation is a result of XL Bully attacks, some resulting in deaths.
