It was a great goal and iconic celebration but not sure it's the competitions greatest moment (Ronnie Radford 5th) Great goal but Giggs was better shirley? And the pitch invasion after Radfords goal - just a sea of Parkers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Does anyone know... Is it possible to watch a game on Sky and simultaneously have the same game streamed on SkyGo without disrupting viewing of the game on the TV? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing every kid who loved football and was born between about 1980 and 1985 would have heard of him in the '90s - though his fame was truly built by Ajax youth academy of our imaginations; do young'uns today still think of Ajax's youth side being a conveyor belt of talent, where they all play football in the same style as the first team?

Sounds about right, be the same for an awful lot of teams I’d imagine, although weirdly this bloke played pre the club being formed for another Newcastle team. https://www.bbc.co.uk/tyne/roots/2003/10/arthur_wharton.shtml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 19 minutes ago, Mike said: That is absolutely insane. Not massively. Healthy mix of lack of opportunity due to the obvious and just not having that many black people before then. Britain had an influx of black immigrant post WW2, before that you’re talking low thousands in total, and it was basically became the kids of that generation who came here who made up the first generation of black British footballers. A quick deeks and the census says just over 1% of the British population was classified black in 1981. Cricket was the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
