Steve Claridge in talks with Salisbury City about becoming their next manager.

Last I heard they'd been thrown out of their league and were about to go bust.

Last I heard they'd been thrown out of their league and were about to go bust.

Looks like it was all sorted out last week.


This is some of what's happened to them recently...

"In the month since he took over as chairman, the 31-year-old has claimed to have signed a Saudi prince to play in midfield, an Emirati international striker, a Swiss coach and six new players before blaming the attempts to take back control by local business people for scuppering his attempts to attract big investors.

Since he took over a 98 per cent share of the club for just £1, the club has been relegated twice because no new money was injected to pay off debts, lost more than half its team because the players were not paid, its manager left and it now faces a winding-up order from the HMRC for an unpaid tax bill."

Quite amazing that slow-motion technology, eh?
Obviously not one of Banks´best games. Surprised it was in colour....We didn´t get our first colour tv until 1969.

It wasn't filmed for TV. Even the 1966 world cup final was only shot in black and white for TV.

You've got to love those trousers

Can't believe the lack of discussion of Dave Buchanan's massive flares. Anyone would think we've signed a £10m striker or something.

I can't believe you're talking about his trousers without mentioning his tie

WTF is going on there ?

 

[Motown Fox]

Oh yes I remember when I wore very similar trousers and the good old kipper tie. The shorter it was the the more cool you were. .

or so they reckoned.

So the tie and the flares must have made Dave Buchanan über cool. (If you ignore the fact that punk had arrived)

You did indeed. I saw you wearing them on a tram in Sheffield the year before last.

I´m sure lots of us would love to see a photo, Motown.........:icon_wink

But in 1978-79 they were much wider, the trousers that is. Not sure any photos exist from that time.
The tram in question was our victory over Wednesday I think, when I'd been to work before the game when I still doing meter reading. I think Boc was in his shorts then even though it was the start of winter.

Any manager that gives that waster anything more than a 'pay as you play' contract deserves shooting.
