November Internationals

[sparky79]

Ken Leek for Wales in 1960. England won 5-1. Maybe. I've looked back at England results and I couldn't see one more recently than that.

David Kelly......almost

 

[Jeff]

David Kelly......almost

I found a few that scored against England before or after playing for Leicester. Kramaric and Rantanen, for example.

 

[FrenchFox]

Ken Leek, can somebody please tell me the full story?

I have been screaming for Southgate's dismissal since the quarter-final of the world cup. We have a failed Championship manager in charge of the England team. I have to confess that I do not know who should replace him, but there must be better options out there ffs.

 

[mabrah]

Kasper's substitution could be precautionary; a blow to the head is taken seriously (and rightly so)

He'll be right as rain in a day or two, you mark my words

someone like Eddie Howe would be a much better choice. I think international management would suit him better than club level

I would not argue with that because I am a great Howe fan and what he did with Bournemouth. Maybe not his time yet but I am sure that it will come.

England has a generation of talented players that the FA need to save from being wasted, Southgate needs sacking, preferably before he's even on the plane home

I couldn't be arsed to watch. Did he go for the old 7-2-1 formation?

 

[FrenchFox]

Ken Leek anyone.

Did he poo in Matt Gillies's Triumph Mayflower?

 

[TommyK]

I couldn't be arsed to watch. Did he go for the old 7-2-1 formation?

Yep, Rice, Dier and Henderson all on the pitch

 

[Skitzo]

yep, then brought Sancho on at wing back and Calvert-Lewin on the right wing, at no point did we have any pace in atack

That's amazing. Half the squad these days are right backs and we end up playing someone that isn't....

well one was subbed, one was at CB and the other was banned

 

[FrenchFox]

I apologise to anyone who wasn't born in the first half of the last century, but I remember Ken Leek's goal against Spurs in '61 like it was in slow motion. He held the ball in their penalty area for an eternity and then put it past Pat Jennings ( I think ) in the style of Frank Worthington.

 

[Jeff]

Ken Leek anyone.

Did he poo in Matt Gillies's Triumph Mayflower?

Next time I see Hugh McIlmoyle I'll ask him if he knows.

 

[Jeff]

Pat Jennings ( I think )

No.

 

[FrenchFox]

I have just found out that Karl Darlow, Newcastle's goalkeeper, is Ken Leek's grandson

 

[Robin127]

Ken Brown?

 

[FrenchFox]

No.

Bill Brown?

 

[Jeff]

Bill Brown?

I don't know. I just know it was a few years before Jennings made his debut.

 

[FrenchFox]

Jeff, didn't Hugh McIlmoyle play for Carlisle at some point?
