Title: Trainspotters guide to STFC in the media Post by: suttonred on Friday, August 31, 2012, 20:40:51 Couldn't think where to put this, so what the hell. Reading the mail today and Quentin Letts reviews the new play Soul Sister, a biopic of Tina Turner. When describing her, he says most people will know her for a pair of thighs a Swindon Town defender would be proud of. Thought that was pretty cool.

My Dad remembers him well, was one of his favourite players at the time......

George was a railwayman's centre half...6 ft 3, 15 stone and legs like tree trunks....Garth was a post war Daily Mirror comic strip hero of great strength, hence the nickname...400 odd League appearances for the Town, during an era of post-war austerity, the maximum wage and footballs to head like medicine balls. Along with Sammy Burton and Maurice Owen, STFC heroes of a bygone age.

The question was about the most innaccurate comparisons in sport.

They speak a different language and live in shanty town dwellings. If the weather was more sunny you could be in Rio. Title: Re: Trainspotters guide to STFC in the media Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Sunday, September 2, 2012, 10:05:00 They speak a different language and live in shanty town dwellings. If the weather was more sunny you could be in Rio. The same could be said of Cowdenbeath calling themselves the 'Blue Brazil'. This of course throws up the question, do Brazil fans call themselves the 'Yellow Cowdenbeath' :hmmm: |
