He was quality. Smoked 60 a day as well!

Had to look that up.
I feel so much younger now.
They were all saying that around the 1982 World Cup where Rix was a starter and Glenn was either coming off the bench or not playing at all. That was mainly because the FA morons refused to give Brian Clough the England job, he would have built the whole thing around Glenn.
I was lucky enough to see Cryuff play in the flesh, against Ipswich Town in 1977. Ipswich had a player called Roger Osbourne who was put on man to man marking duty for Cryuff, and fair play to him he marked Cryuff so well that he neutralised him. The two players swapped shirts after the match, apparently Osbourne has Cryuff's shirt in a frame.

Famous for his Whitehall farces where he always ended up in his boxer shorts
Wasn’t it Osborne who scored against the Scum to win a cup final and immediately subbed by Robson as he was out of it?
That was Brian Talbot I think ... Woolwich bought him after that game.
My bad ... it was indeed Osborne.
Yup. Rix played 17 times for England, Hoddle 53, and that was in an era when "being a unit" was more important than being a talent.
That's why I worry about the way the English game seems to be going, we're heading back towards that IMO.
Ridiculous.
I think it was Clough
Shame that he wasnt England manager with Glenn in his prime. He'd have picked him in the MF, and told all the defenders - "give it to him"
and then looked at the strikers - "and then you lot start running
Thought soThat was Brian Talbot I think ... Woolwich bought him after that game.

I was too busy jumping around my lounge in celebration after he scored!
Lovely jubbly!
Yes I think so. Do you remember Kevin Beaty? He got in trouble because when he was collecting his FA Cup medal, he accepted a cigarette from a supporter and smoked it. There was a rumour that he used to smoke 20 a day.
Yes he was a good player but had a short lived career due to injuries!
They had a really good team at the same time we did in the early 80s but both of us kept getting pipped at the post by Liverpool.
I worked for 8 months in Colchester at the time so was a regular visitor to Portman Rd
I liked Eric Gates
He was the one I liked the least. Him and Mariner.
I liked the other centre back ... Russell Osman ... thought he was underrated. Wark was very good as well.
Remember Zico for brazil in 82 world cup. He was quality. The chipped goal v Scotland was audacious.
I think he had some sort of small role in the film, Escape To Victory.
Osman had a good partnership with Butcher as I recall
