Slight connection in that Mike Baldwin used to follow Burnley in his Coronation Street days, and Glenn Roeder was assistant manager at Burnley for a time.

A man from Liverpool, England was touring the USA on holiday and stopped in a remote bar in the hills of Nevada. He was chatting to the bartender when he spied an old Native American man sitting in the corner. He had tribal gear on, long white plaits, wrinkled face.
"Who's he?" asked the Liverpudlian.
"That's the Memory Man." said the bartender. "He knows everything, remembers everything. He can remember every face he's ever seen. He can remember any fact he hears or reads. Go and try him out."
So the Liverpudlian goes over, and thinking he won't know about English football, asks "Who won the 1965 FA Cup Final?".
"Liverpool" replies the Memory Man.
"Who did they beat?"
"Leeds" was the instant reply.
"And the score?"
"2-1."
"Who scored the winning goal?"
"Ian St. John" said the old man, without a hint of hesitation.
The Liverpudlian was knocked out by this and told everyone back home about the Memory Man when he got back.
Many years later he went back to the USA and tried to find the impressive Memory Man. Eventually he found the bar and sitting in the same seat was the old Native American, only this time he was older and even more wrinkled.
The Liverpudlian approached him with the greeting "How".
The Memory man looked up and said, "Diving header in the six yard box".

I am currently watching a Saint & Greasie from late in the 88/89 season and I refuse to accept that modern football is better. Millwall were being discussed as champions. Millwall.

Millwall were pretty good in 88/89 but Norwich mounted a much more serious championship challenge that season, they kept it up into April before collapsing

88/89 was a season like no other in history, the most important, exciting, dramatic and tragic season any of us will ever live through

It was both the apex of old football and the beginning of the end of old football

Football would never be the same again

I know, but that variety has been lost by the franchising. Funnily enough,  I have just ordered a book about the 1959/60 season called 'The End of Innocence' which seems to have been a similar season, if a generation or two earlier.

One of Greavsie's things was that he made club chairman into "characters"

"Deadly Doug", Ken Bates, Peter Swales, Ron Noades

Some of these figures were widely hated and were in their own way absolute spivs

But they seem quite benign in comparison to now

There was someone on here, it may have been Territoral, but I may be doing him a disservice, who compared Martin Edwards to Abu Dhabi because he sold dodgy meat to schools. How I long for the days when football chairmen sold dodgy meat to schools!

Yup his family were involved in meat processing, not sure if still or not. Edwards went on to become chairman of United and a peeping Tom.
