You're not wrong.

However, we can always forgive a tryer when wearing the shirt, and John Lacy certainly was that.
Best Game i see him play for us was against Bayern Munich 82-83 1-1 at home.
We had a lot of injuries and the back four was him Gary O'Reily at centre half Paul Price and Paul Miller as left and right back.
They were up against Rummenigge and Hoeness.Backs to the wall defending.
Garth Crooks missed an open goal late on but it did'nt matter as we lost the second leg in the fog 4-1.

I make that 5 times I've seen us play Bayern at home now.
The three major European club tournaments, the friendly on Saturday and PB's testimonial in '73.
Even as a 9 year old, it was great to see Beckenbauer, Muller, Maier and co. live in the flesh.
 
Always reminded me of Willie Young, whenever he went on a dribbling foray
Not sure Lacy would appreciate the association with a fat (looking at myself here) ginger (not looking at myself here, thankfully) fool (maybe looking at myself here).

People who you want to forget about because thinking about them brings one out in rashes, sweats and nervous head shakes: Willie Young.

Ah - but let's not forget, he was a bit of a folk hero while he was with us!
 
I know but such a duo, like that bloke on that bridge with the long, grey beard and pointy hat once said

He was wank. I remember him scoring a goal in the cup at Orient it was from a corner and he knew nothing about it, it hit his head and went in.

To be fair to myself and to you ; I did start my post with « Others will disagree but « …. I just remember him being , possibly a BIT better than he’s remembered to be . Not a lot , but a bit . Âge probably affecting my memory ( along with other things) .

As someone else said ; he did « try « !

Thanks for getting back to me about it .
