Flashback: How a drunken Ossie Ardiles dented the FA Cup trophy in 1981

August 21st, 2009

I remember the 1981 centenary FA Cup final, if not like it was yesterday then a lot more recently than 28 years ago. It was the season I began supporting Spurs, and so I’ll always have very fond memories of the cup-winning exploits of Perryman, Hoddle, Archibald, Ardiles, Villa and co. I thought I knew [...]

When You Were Young: Gary Lineker kicks off career at Leicester City

Lineker joined his home-town team, Leicester City, when he left school in 1977, aged 16. He went on to make almost 200 appearances for the Midlands club, scoring goals at a rate of almost one every two games. Mr Walkers Crisps’ fleetness (and opportunism in the six-yard box) helped the Foxes win promotion to the [...]

The Great Football Song Library No.3: ‘Ossie’s Dream (Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley)’ by Chas & Dave

July 31st, 2009

“Spurs are on their way to Wembley, Tottenham’s gonna do it again.” You know Ossie’s thinking: “What the fuck am I doing here?” Fair play to Ardiles though, for playing the role of “dumb foreigner who can’t pronounce Tottenham like what the English does” (he even called his autobiography “Ossie’s Dream”). Today however, Ossie’s role [...]

Flashback: Southampton score one of the greatest team goals in football history

July 13th, 2009

Just a goal of absolute beauty and as fine an entry into Pies’ canon of forgotten wonder goals as you could ever hope to see; King Keggy’s involvement in it is key. And what a lovely Southampton kit that was. [Spotted @ Guardian]
