Am I reading this right in understanding that it only applies to attack and not defence.. or is it just unclear wording?
They're the runners, still think he wants the big lump up top to win the aerials for them to play off. Be surprised if we weren't still playing a very direct style, hopefully just more effectively with an actual targetman.
Old school Keeper with a real character. Legs like matchsticks but agile and really good at this level until Jim Platt came along in the early seventies to win the shirt from him. As with Downsouth he was the regular Boro Goalie when I first started watching the Boro at Ayresome Park. RIP.
Used to wind up the opposition by lighting a Woodbine if he was having a quiet game... ran across him a few times when I used to go to away games .. had a "colourful" vocabulary, but always happy to mix with fans and got pleasure from the number of people that acknowledged him.
