Collecting autographs was a boyhood obsession, some players like Martin Chivers would always oblige, patiently signing away for all the schoolboys surrounding them eagerly awaiting their programmes, books or pictures to be signed by their heroes.
A lasting memory is Martin Chivers spending about half an hour in the Dell car park after playing Manchester City, signing hundreds of autographs.
Occasionally he would look up to check that his lovely fiancée was still there, 10 yards away, patiently waiting for him.
RIP Saint Martin. |

I watched Saints being thrashed 5-1 at home by bottom club Blackpool in that first season in the top flight. Midfield was bossed by a certain hard cased little Scot named Hughie Fisher.
Ted Bates signed him soon after. |

My memory is probably as bad as your’s but fairly certain that some of those names mentioned played later. |

Sad to hear this news. An important player with his dominant, physical presence and goals during Saints promotion to the top flight for the first time, a boyhood hero.
Sold him to Spurs for an absolute fortune, not a bad return at the time for a lad from Millbrook.
Wish we had someone like him up front these days.
RIP Martin Chivers |

Reading quotes over the weekend attributed to the ex Manchester United manager/coach , it was as if he was goading Ratcliff into giving him the bullet.
Take the money and run son, who needs that sh1t!? |

Trump doesn’t care about the Venezuelan people or whether they’ve been living under a nasty dictator. The only thing that gives him a stiffy is making money through control of strategic resources and geopolitical dominance.
American hegemony, Monroe Doctrine, Manifest Destiny, call it what you will. They’re not done yet.
Who will be next, my money is on the Canal Zone, followed by Greenland .Cuba is an old, irritating humiliation that needs to be put to bed.
They’re not content with sharing a continent, they want a hemisphere. [Post edited 5 Jan 19:21]

There are no more rules. International law no longer exists.
Might is right and strength prevails.
Chaos rules and we are enablers. |

On point 4. Having a drink with some Coventry fans in the hotel Saturday evening.
According to them, Lampard is benefitting from and taking credit for the good work done by his predecessor Mark Robbins.
They were bemused by his sacking and Lampard’s appointment but they were pleased that he’s introduced a bit of guile and niggle and banished the naivety. They weren’t proud of his post match behaviour though.
Decent folk to talk to, glad they’re doing well, they’ve suffered a lot of bad football luck. |

Not clinical enough . Two one on ones in the first half not converted. Defence fast asleep again for their goal.
Disappointment but we were shut out second half after the goal, lots of cheating and time wasting going on. The ref gave us nowt.
No-one played badly but nobody took the chance to shine against league leaders Frank Lampard’s Coventry. What was he doing at the end? What a vag !
Two points dropped. |

Got mine. Hoping it’s not all in vain and a tearful finale. |
