Im in my plane today just flying over Dundee again and again

Bump

Check out post 9 Oliver. I mention Eddie Hapgood in it.

Nice :D

Him being my great-grandad's marital uncle is slightly too far detached for me to really brag, but even in my general ignorance to football I feel a twinge of pride that he's part of my wider family tree :dance::joker::laugh:

Milk it. I would.

There's a famous photo of the England football team playing a game in Germany in the 1930s and the England team were made to do a Nazi salute in front of Hitler. Eddie was in the team that day, he was probably the captain. This was before the war started.

Olivier's great great uncle Eddie

That joke only works well because of the stature of Everton being the biggest club in the land. It doesn't work so well with a Southampton or Nottingham Forest.

I see that as respect.

Since he turned 35, Lionel Messi has played 3,633 minutes of football, the equivalent of 40 full games.

In that time, he’s scored 30 goals, assisted 21 goals, completed 119 dribbles, created 108 chances, got MOTM in 46% of games.

He also won the World Cup.

But did he ever score 60 league goals in one season?

Dixie Dean did.

Both special players .. Shame there isn’t more footage of DD

Paul Ross ( Jonathan’s dopey bruv ) just suggested that the reason that West Ham have struggled this season is because everyone has been effected by the death of David Gould !?!?!?!

Remember this crazy incident and how well Grealish handled it ?

“Paul absolutely adored his three children," the late football fan's cousin Lucy Mitchell told The Sun. "He always had a smile on his face no matter what. He had the kindest heart. He is sadly going to be missed by a lot of people.
