No need in that.

He would be turniping in his grave if he heard it.

The biggest thing I've found since I left the game - and I'm glad I chose to leave rather than being sacked - is that so many people are in football for the wrong reasons. Not because they love the game, but because they smell money.

I think he's the ultimate example of what a poisoned chalice the England job is because upon this sad news the first the thing people are referencencing are quotes from that documentary. He almost became a figure of fun which is unbelievably unfair given what he did as a club manager with Watford was absolutely incredible to take a team from the fourth division to 2nd in the top flight. He always came across as a very decent man as well.

Mind I hope they show the documentary again as it brilliant tele :laugh:

It's a brilliant documentary. If you watched it these days you'd think it was a spoof. Why he agreed to even do it is beyond me. As it didn't really show him in a good light.

Always interesting n making good points on 5 live the last few years. A loss to the game deffo.

Correct me if im wrong, but wasn't taylor one of the main followers of route one footy with Watford. A study showed that there was a relationship between the number of touches of the ball from a dead ball and the goals scored. Didn't he use this to his advantage to get Watford up the leagues? Wonder if it works now and whether higgy will give it a whirl?

Please tell me 2017 isn't going to be another year when famous people die.

But RIP Graham, really enjoyed listening to him as a radio commentator.

Hate to break it to you but some people will die this year, famous and not famous. Most of them will be because they are old or because they spent lots of their money on drugs. One thing's for certain though, I will have deactivated facebook by the end of February if these bleeding heart fuckwits continue to mourn dead celebrities as is they were family.

But for the Queen we'll all get at least one day off!

I will be celebrating her life that day.

Aye fair enough!!!!

She isn't allowed to die before I kill her. Unless there are at least two days of extra holidays involved. Sorry, mourning, I meant two days of off work mourning.

That's nothing to what the reaction will be if David Attenborough ever dies.
