pozbaird Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A bit of respect please. Some of the comments here have crossed the line. Unlike the ball in 1966. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirktheinvincible Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Absolutely gutted about this. I dropped him from my retro footballers selection, in favour of Netzer, Villa, Panenka & Hurst. Shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 What a plerr he was. Hard to believe that he and Charlton, considered the best in the roles at the time, basically man-marked each other out of the final in 66. Beckenbauer was only 20 at the time. The reaper must be on some kind of January bonus rate #prolific 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from a rugby aficionado, but this is magical stuff. JPR is no 15 for the Barbarians in this footage. He went on to become an orthopaedic surgeon I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best moment was the 99 call where he sprinted past everyone to get wired in, and ended up squaring up to half the Boks on his own. I remember seeing an interview with McGeechan where he said on one occasion JPR was already past him on the way to the scrap while he was deciding whether or not to get involved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure any of those tackles would be allowed now. An interesting wee aside is that the commentator there, a guy called Cliff Morgan (himself an ex player of high standard) wasn’t meant to be calling the match, but Bill McLaren was laid low with flu. Morgan only found out on the morning of the match when he was pretty much handed a mic. That try happened in like, the third minute or something. I’m a bit of a commentator nut - those words man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Like a few others I had considered Der Kaiser for this year's Dead Pool but thought "naw, he looks healthy for 78". Scheisse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
