And here he is Darren, turns out he played for Alf's boys as well
Nice one Richard, after he stopped playing professional football he started working on building sites after doing a bricklaying course. Dave did the site work for about 2 yrs then got his old job back at British Aerospace, he's a toolmaker by trade. Dave's a cracking bloke, proper good laugh. He gives me loads of stick about my scruffy appearance and quite often asks if I've wasted my weekend running up a f**king mountain, he just doesn't get it. He's well into fishing, which I don't get.....and he still plays five a side.Quote:

Not sure if he played for Morecambe in his younger days, that would be before the 'wreckage of Colne Dynamos' as it puts it in the article. About 25 years ago Chalkie White, a business man from Colne launched a money no object project to get Dynamos into the League, they seemed to sign everyone in sight to full time contracts including European Cup winner Alan Kennedy, won a couple of promotions in the lower leagues but when they got as far as the Conference it all went tits up, the money ran out, the team folded and Chalkie disappeared.Quote:

Will it be something along the lines of 'it's not fair we were expecting to play someone shite like Costa Rica but Chile turned up instead'Quote:

He's probably just cost Liverpool somewhere in the region of 15-30 million in lost sale value…
You reckon the Italian's shoulder butted Suarez in the mouth? :DQuote:

Needs his teeth knocking out.Quote:

Liverpool have announced their plans for the handling of Suarez next season

Hi RichardQuote:

Dave will be glad to know he is still remembered at Morecambe, he recently got a mention on their fans forum in a thread about Morecambe players who had gone on to play at a higher level. Apparently he signed for Morecambe from Leyland Motors in 1986.Quote:

Very enjoyable match between Belgium and USA tonight apart from that little s*** Danny Murphy doing the commentary. A good goal by Prince Harry playing at number 7 for Belgium. His dad, whoever he is, will be proud of him :rolleyes:
how does it go..."don't bite the hand that feeds you"Quote:

We were in a bar full of Brazilians on South Beach, very quiet second half, they all f**ked off at half timeQuote:

I see Leeds took on tricky opponents tonight in a friendly in Italy. Squeezed past them 16-0. Really, was there any point ?
It reminded me a lot of the 8-2 game.. we actually had one of those days where every shot went in.. comical defending made it seem a lot more one sided than it was.Quote:

Schurle's goal was a disgrace… decent hit but nothing special, most goals brazil had plenty back, just no organisation, just like a pub team.
