Was playing in a five a side tournament at Butlins when I was a kid in the early 80's. Title: Re: Nutmeg Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, November 4, 2013, 11:16:36 I always assumed it was rhyming slang, as in megs=legs.
Title: Re: Nutmeg Post by: kerry red on Monday, November 4, 2013, 12:34:29 So, was it just Ron Atkinson who first coined Early Doors?
