Just like the old days..

[Howard Riley]

I've heard that the man who took us to the 1969 FA Cup Final and then led us back to the First division a couple of years later is at the club on Sunday, plugging his new autobiography.

Yes apparently the legend that is Frank O'Farrell, is doing a signing session before the match.

I'll be honest until I read in the papers recently about his book, I thought he was no longer with us. Fortunately I'm wrong.

Welcome back Frank, I'm looking forward to meeting you and discussing how we were robbed in 1971 in our FA Cup quarter final replay at Arsenal. I had the day off school, sick (?) to go to the replay, and when I went back to school the following day after that match I really felt sick, we were robbed, anyone else there that night ?

Rodney Fern scored but it was never given, one of the worse decisions I've ever seen, or maybe it was because I was so young at the time, and looked at the match through rose tinted glasses.

[flowwolf]

Oh yes I remember him he fvcked off and left us with out so much as a bye or leave . Then got sacked by Man unt for being out of his depth. Now he has got the cheek to come back to the club he shit on to try and sell his crummy book :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

i remember that Fern goal , it was a header and it was disallowed because he supposedly was holding on to the defender . terrible decision .

i've got fond memories of malcolm musgrove regularly dashing onto to the pitch to attend to the injured players . he certainly used to put a spurt on

[Howard Riley]

Flowwolf I get the impression some how that you're not a big fan of his???

[flowwolf]

Wondered why you wern't at school that day, detention for you Mr Riley. HaHa

Just like DOG Pearson then.

Welcome Frank, you were a great manager. :thumbup:

[flowwolf]

Just like DOG Pearson then.

Welcome Frank, you were a great manager. :thumbup:

Man unt did not think so and he went on to do what exactly in football? great manager my arse.

You are a shite stirring tosser aint you, are we sure they didn't throw the baby away and keep the afterbirth when you krept out of your mother, i bet you are an only child

[Howard Riley]

And to think this lively thread all started with me talking about a day off school I had to watch us play at Arsenal way back in 71.

Gents life has certainly changed in this country over the last forty years sadly not for the better.

Getting back to the original thread I still think Rodney Fern's goal should have stood and Mr O'Farrell I look forward to meeting you. How many of our old managers are still alive that got us promoted into what would now be called the Premiership and took us to an FA Cup Final ?.

Is this true or just a rumour?

Where did you hear this from?

[Trav Le Bleu]

You can't understand why Little left to manager the (bigger) club where he spent his entire playing career?

Though I think the fact he kept saying "I'm not leaving" didn't soften the blow.

Fatty McGhee on the other hand...

[accessory]

Oh yes I remember him he fvcked off and left us without so much as a bye or leave .

And thus set a trend for several others to follow, including Martin O'Neill and the current inhabitant of the manager's office..

[Salieri]

Just like DOG Pearson then.

Welcome Frank, you were a great manager. :thumbup:

Pearson was forced out of the club, stop being such a fucking dimwit.

I remember this chant so fondly

Cheer Up, Mark McGhee

Oh What Can It Mean

To A Fat Scottish B*****d

And A, Shit Football Team.

I love that chant. Was singing it with the Barmy Army in January re: Ricky Ponting.

Cheer up Ricky Ponting

Oh what can it be

To a

Sad Aussie bastard

With a

Shit cricket team

Slightly digressing but the "passion" well that's one way of putting it, this thread has generated, has got me thinking about what tone threads would have been like in the late sixties, early seventies (when let's face it life was a little more pleasant) if the internet had been around then, could we have expected headlines such as .

" Our pitch has about as much chance of becoming a decent playing surface as there is of landing a man on the moon"

" Don Revie you are a vagabond"

" The two hundred pound a week footballer you're having a laugh"

"Leatherhead future First Division Champions ? "

" The young Shilton willl never make it as a goalkeeper. "

I've already read the book, it certainly gives you a great insight into the club in the late sixties early seventies.. One thing I didn't realise was that the Kray twins were in Leicester prison at the time and also what a miserable so and so Allan Clarke was.. .

Yes , he was called “sniffer” because he was always crying , not because he sniffed out goals

Look on the bright side Howard. Most people are still pleasant, polite and tolerant to each other. Unfortunately one of the things to emerge during that last 40 years is the keyboard warrior - almost all the abuse on line would never be given out if the person giving it was standing within punching distance of the person receiving it.

He was great for us though!

and the other.

Then why has DOG been quoted today as asking Leicester fans to forget that he left us to join Hull, and to get behind him. Very odd comment for anyone to make if they had been pushed out.

Source was Ceefax, today.
