Anyone got any idea where this footballing term comes from
Also why are defences said to be at sixes and sevens?

I was nutmegged by Alan Ball.
Was playing in a five a side tournament at Butlins when I was a kid in the early 80's.

So, was it just Ron Atkinson who first coined Early Doors?
Surely there cannot be an explanation for that - apart from just being fucking stupid

Cocky shits who tried it on in games and would say "megged" just made me all the more determined to nail them later on in the game.

Seeing the state of Ward's and Hall's boots still makes me sob a little inside... you're a centre-half man, World Cups or Tiempos please. |
