Also ...

Bookings have NOT gone too far ... that is the decision of the readers of Bob's 70-71 Pages. 41 per cent of you prefer the modern day namby-pamby booking system when contact is made and the ball is missed, and 17 per cent of you even agreed that a player should be booked even if a modern player is looked at in a funny way !

Only 25 per cent believed a booking should only be given if it is obvious a bone is broken, and most of them were me... I suspect the David Beckham and Gary Neville decisions swung the vote. Neither aggressor in these decisions was sent off and most of the public was miffed, so the writing was on the wall.

There's a brand new 70-71 site on the Net, which centres on the Dutch equivalent of the FKS Wonderful World of Soccer Stars album. It is, of course, essential visiting !!! See Jelle Vanhijfte's Waar zijn ze gebleven ?
Jelle contributed the Dutch article on Clyde Best featured on this site.

Harry Moore has done some fantastic pictures of 70-71 stars which are actually available for purchase at his site, www.ArtAboutFace.com
See his pictures of Bobby Moore, Bobby Stokes, Charlie George, Dave Makay, Gordon West, Kevin Keegan, Steve Perryman, West Ham United plus many more on a whole range of sportspeople and subjects.

I'm probably the last person in the World to have noticed it, but there's a great site of managers - many of whom's playing careers are featured on this site - at:
League Managers Association home page

Anyone wishing to buy a tape of the full 90 minutes of the 1967 Lisbon Lions European Cup Final, when Celtic beat Inter Milan 2-1, can do so from 24 May 2002 - see www.celticsuperstore.co.uk
