That's fucking boss that, what an awesome claim to fame.

Yeah he's a really nice guy as well. He used to come over every year and loved the place so when he retired moved over here to live.

I was lucky enough to play with him for a couple of years for our local league team in the mid 90's. Saw his FA and UEFA cup winners medals. He scored in the semi final in 78 to get them through to the final but Robson dropped him for the final for the guy who went on to score the winner which was a sickener. There were a few clubs like Villa interested in signing him at the time but Robson didn't want to let him go so he stayed there. He loved Robson though.

A friend of the family (he is English but married a girl from my neck of the woods) by the name of Robin Turner played one of the German team in that. He played for Ipswich in the late 70's early 80's. I was only a kid at the time but there was huge excitement in our village at the time when we heard. He showed me a football he got signed by all the cast. 

Remember his name, and they were a very good team around that time. 

 

Another cast member and Ipswich player, people forget how brilliant Kevin Beattie was and he is never mentioned when good English centre halves are discussed. Liverpool ballsed up forgetting to pick him up at Lime Street station after he had been invited after a good first trial. Shanks said it was one of his biggest regrets. Had his demons with drink and this was part of the reason he never got that many caps for England.

Yeah mate. They were a very good team back then. Lost out on a title twice, to us and Villa. Kevin Beattie was a great player. 

 

Funny Souness anecdote for you. My older brother used to go up to Ipswich in the early 90's to visit Robin and they had a few good sessions. Alan Brazil would join them (top bloke according to my brother). My brother asked Brazil about Kenny and Souness. Kenny was just King Kenny to Brazil. They played at Anfield once back in the early 80's and within the first couple of minutes Souness completely poleaxed Brazil with a tackle. 'Aw ye cunt you could have broken my leg' said Brazil to him as he lay protrate on the ground. Souness whispered back to him 'You're lucky you're fucking Scottish or I would have'

I know. It's a superb film.

I will add Caddyshack to my list. Just one more to think over.
