Heineken® Silver is more than just a 4% lager. It is an extra refreshing, premium lager with a crisp, subtle finish and fruity aroma. It is a fresh attitude towards beer. Believing that being real and authentic is really refreshing in today's world. Comrade 86, LazloW, Hans Datdo-Dishes and 12 others 4 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 You nearly gave me heart failure, please change the title to something like 'King Kev at the Neptune'. We've lost a lot of top 70's footballers recently and I feared that the king had joined them from looking at the title of the topic.

Tyler Durden Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Jesus he's scraping the bottom of the barrel metaphorically speaking advertising disco fizz in The Neptune. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 So correct me if I am wrong, Hector did not get involved in the recent 50 year anniversary reunion, but is happy to promote some dodgy ale in a local pub. Must be a good story lurking there. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobdeBilder Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 He is a pensioner, he played in an age where even top footballers didn't earn much so he is probably earning a bit to help get by. He wouldn't have been a postman for years if playing football had left him wealthy. Pisses me off that there are players today making millions who are not fit to clean his boots.

He had the knife and Steel in Ticknall a good few years back I believe, Altho paid well at the time as a pro footballer, I doubt he'd have millions in his bank account as promoting a fizzy drink shows.

They weren't paid that well. Read an article some time ago stating the players at Derby didn't earn much more than £100 per week in the early 70's.

The average wage in 1970 was £18.37 rising to £68.92 by 1979, So if Derby players didn't earn much more than £100 per week I'd say they were well paid, Was this including or excluding win bonuses?, Testimonials?, Sponsored cars?. I saw Phil Gees wage slip as a friend was fixing his car and looked in the glove compartment, £600 a week around 1986-87 As an aside, My 1st wage packet was £6.50 as a 15 year old in 1971 working as a warehouseman for Butlers office equipment.

BobdeBilder Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Phil Gee was 15 years after the period I was talking about and Hector was about retired then so I don't see your point. How many players from the early 70's who didn't stay in football managed to retire? David Nish was a milkman FFS. Charlie George takes people on tours at Arsenal.

There is no point, I just added it as I thought it might be interesting...obviously passed you by. So an average wage of £18.37 in 1970 compared to £100 a week in the early 70s is not Well Paid ?♀️ And John O'hare worked at Prestige on nights for 2 days until he found out what hard work was once retired, Maybe all these poor players of the 70s took on too much debt and had to work like us ordinary mortals.
