    world and connected parties who appear to have disappeared from the
    game.

    In true terminator style we've been taken back through time. At this
    rate we can stop the Mancs going top of the League and safeguard
    football for future generations.

    p.s. which obviously means Cunno is still here and not in Crete. I
    think I prefer the future after all.
88.3backups etcGALVIA::SPAINParker for EnglandWed Sep 11 1991 17:3810
    
    Re -1, this conference moved to Munich in early August.  It appears
    that the last backup was done on August 20th.  Unfortunately Dezzz is
    on holidays at the moment which might explain that.  just our luck that
    the disk crashed at the wrong time. :-(
    
    The original conference can still be read (it's writelocked).  Add
    entry yuppy::football_archive or simply hit kp7.

    	What ever happened to Dave Langan - ex Birmingham, Derby, Oxford
    and Ireland right back ????
    
    
    
    Well nothing very glamourous apparently - He finished his career at
    Peterborough and left football totally on retirement.  His first job
    was a milkman and then a postman but both involved getting up too
    early.  He was last seen driving a lorry in preparation for taking the
    HGV test.

    At the match on Sunday where the Spint Challange took place, they were
    announcing the names of who was taking part, and when the Notts County
    player was named the Forrest fans cheered enthusiastically.
    When Keith Curle got mentioned of Man City there was a very loud BOO
    and whistles as well as a few choice words:)
    People sat behind us were from Swansea, and cheered John through both
    rounds, and went mad when he won, more than when UTD lifted the Cup:)

88.17Mind you, it is a very _small_ book...SED750::SADATTarik Sadat: London South TCCThu Apr 16 1992 14:246
Notice that at the start of the race Michael Gilkes was in the lead for the
first 30 or so yards, and (as Gary Lineker kept pointing out) as in football
there are very 100 yard sprints that in my book makes Gilkes the fastest player
in English footbal...

    He's now playing left wing for the Brian Van Wanderers. Rosa Luxemburg
    is also on that flank, and Gerry Healy is our sub.
    
    After Stalin, we decided to do away with an inside right.

    Hello,
    
    I coach youth soccer here in the US and recently rented a video
   demonstrating shooting and passing drills that professional footballers
    practice to hone their skills. It was an English (nationality) video
    showing various footballers going through these drills. Judging
    by the hairstyle and dress, it looked to be a 1970's circa film.
    
    I recall three footballers who really impressed me:
    
    Kevin Keegan
    Ray Kennedy
    Bobby Robson
    
    Keegan seemed to me to possess the most shooting accuracy.
    
    Can someone give a little background on each player; i.e. who each
    played for and what timeframes?
    
    And did any play for my beloved Everton??
    
    Thank you,
    Mike
    
     
88.22One team in LiverpoolAIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Tue Oct 05 1993 21:2723
    Mike,
    
    Bobby Robson was the last England manager. he led them to 3rd place in
    the last world cup - proving as we all know that they are the greatest
    team in the world (:==:) he was previously manager of Ipswich.
    
    Kevin keegan is currently manager of Newcastle (see their note for
    proof he is a god-like creature). he played for a number of teams most
    famously Liverpool (the ONLY team in Liverpool) where he won hundreds
    of league titles, league cups, f.a cups etc [see any note by Cunno
    for exact number]
    
    Ray kennedy started off playing for a minor english league side called
    Arsenal (:==:) but sensibly moved onto to the mighty world-beaters of
    Liverpool where he like Keegan won hundreds of honours also.
    
    I would date your video in the early 80s.
                                           
    cue many other replies...
    
    regards,

    Don't we mean Bryan Robson, of Man. Utd. and England fame, I'm not sure
    Bobby has played much in the last 30 years ?

Re -1

I can exclusively reveal to having played against Cunno last week 
in an internal 5-A-Side.  He was upto his old trick again - leaving 
last minute back headers into his own net ;-).
