BTRFTG Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 There's a great anecdote in Stan Bowles biography (for you yung 'uns who never witnessed his majesty on the park Stan The Man was, in order, a gambler, alcoholic, playboy, entertainer and as talented a footballer as one could ever wish to see. In modern parlance he'd be described as being a 'lazy genius'.) Midwinter, playing on a quagmire of a pitch, he emerged from the tunnel not long after having nipped out for a beer (or two) and bet (or ten.) Warm ups were entirely optional at the time thus in sprinting onto the pitch he felt the urge to 'drop one' and in doing so 'followed through'. To remind, QPR wore white shorts. The opponents kicked off and wholly out of character Bowles sprinted for all his worth after the ball and with it at the feet of their full back in the wettest corner of the park, Stan aquaplaned twenty yards across the pitch on his back, missing the ball, up-ending their player and earning a first minute booking in the process. Not that Stan cared as from nape of neck to ankle his rear resembled The Creature From The Black Lagoon, such he could amble the remainder of the first half with his embarrassment hidden.

I love the bloke's attitude "Oh well, it's done now!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
