Title: Great local players who should have been spotted.......
Post by: Bentley Bullet on April 15, 2018, 09:55:16 am: Were you one of them? If so let's see a picture of you in your glory days.

Here's an 80's picture of The Bullet. Having the best-left foot in the area, it was a travesty he wasn't picked up to play professionally.

If you did own it, it hardly went with your with it persona displayed in the photograph.
I like the stance, had you done the warm up? or were you contemplating having to do one?

Post by: Bentley Bullet on April 15, 2018, 06:53:08 pm: No, it wasn't my Allegro, Selby. I provided my own 'vroom'.

Regarding the warm-up, the run from the bar to the pitch before kick-off provided that.

Post by: Filo on April 15, 2018, 06:55:22 pm: Thats not an Allegro, it looks more like an Austin Princess

Were you a dum dum bullet in those days?
Whatever happened to Magnum?

Post by: selby on April 15, 2018, 07:10:16 pm: Filo, I was unsure about that, but thought if it was his, a tough nut like that player would not have a princess.

Post by: bahrain rover on April 16, 2018, 05:02:48 am: Filo, I think it is the follow on from the Princess, Austin Ambassador I think it was called. It had a slightly more angular appearance.

Post by: Bentley Bullet on April 16, 2018, 07:38:59 am: It's an Austin Ambassador Y reg, Y reg, Y reg.
Don't keep asking me why reg
It just happens to be that year.

Post by: Copps is Magic on April 16, 2018, 09:03:24 am: I find it difficult to understand, given the player's robust midriff, how he wasn't 'spotted', but can see why he wasn't 'picked up'.
