My son is called Hector, but it wasn't even my idea. My Mrs suggested it and I thought I could go with that. She wised up for number two and my younger son wasn't called Charles George as I suggested.

RIP Dickie

His injury record was terrible, 10 games a season average is about right He looked pretty good when he played and could take a mean free kick. Here's a report from his first game back after an 11 month injury.

Hi guys!! I just want to thank you for your welcoming in representation of all Galician Rams. We had such a nice and funny time.
Pride Park is even more impressive than we thought watching from TV, and  the team was a 10 the other day. Also, every person that we met before, during and after the game was extremely nice, and we loved not only the team, but the city as well.
I'm sure that we'll be back as soon as we can.  We had already been Derby fans for a few years, but after this experience we are Rams for life.
You people are world class. GO RAMS!!

Chris Sutton's got us down for a 1-0 win

Imagine my supprise, Notts Forest's spending unsustainable.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/26/good-governance-cash-fair-game-sustainability-index-premier-league-championship
"At the bottom of the Premier League table are Nottingham Forest, the result of a financial stability score of one out of 40.
Calculations of financial stability take into account assets, debt and loans owed in the coming year alongside the key industry measure of wages as a percentage of revenue. Fair Game analysts said the most recent financial information from the club showed Forest’s wage bill is equivalent to 202% of turnover."
 
I think football is in trouble, it used to be championship clubs lost a load of cash trying to reach the cash rich Premier, but now most Premier league clubs are losing money too.

He sounds very positive about the future, hopefully things will improve for them soon.

You are spot on, this game had the greatest atmosphere of any match I have been too. I did go to a game in the 1975 championship season but can't remember being champions, I started going regularly in 1977 when I was 9.  I wasn't really aware of the full context having missed high point of our sucess, but bloody hell I could feel it in the atmosphere. The press were in on the act dubbing the game as Cloughie V Taylor. When the teams ran out to warm up we had been singing for so long it felt like they were running out for the second half, and it was non stop chanting all game.
