There was a story from many moons ago of Gascoigne turning up in Knowle West in a roller bearing gifts for a sick child. I guess that would be the connection, being Dicks neck if the woods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that was the responsibility of Two teammates, who tried (and failed miserably) to double man-mark him. He was too good. A skinny striker with an amazing left foot in those days. I was playing a year up, Dicks because of an August birthday was playing below his school year. I was a little winger in that team. My knees were fine then Silvio, probably still young enough for the bones to be soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an amusing (well I think it is) story about Darren I was watching the Tele one Sunday afternoon Man Utd v Newcastle, Darren made a rash challenge in his own box, nailed on spot kick. Ref didn't give it utd went absolutely mental. Walked into pub in town on the Sunday night and Darren was sat in there having a drink on his own, recognised me fro when we played together his words were . I could never tackle when I played in midfield and ain't a lot better at it now! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty sobering when the outstanding kids you played with/against end up as professionals but "only" defenders. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
