cant believe someone would come on to this forum and refer to tommy smith
as the laughing cripple, the reason for smith being a cripple is that he
put his body through the pain barrier for many years for this club, he played
many games only after being injected in both knees, he may seem bitter but
when he sees some of todays players and the dosh they earn and their attitude
to the game who can blame him.A lot of people dislike his views ,fair enough
but those of us old enough to remember his goal in the european cup final
would never call him that , there has been many explayers of this club who
deserve stick ie spice boys but i dont think smithy was one of them
