I remember when "Saint and Greavsie" were on the telly. I occasionally caught little bits - a wonderfully good-humoured, light-hearted, knockabout sort of a show. Just another trade at which Greavsie outshone Lineker.
Of the players listed in the article the one I enjoyed watching most (on the telly) was Hoddle. Gifted chap.
Beckham: how to defend against him was obvious yet English league full backs took forever to work it out. It reminded me why rugby players assume that all soccer players are dim.
dearieme - I don't remember watching "Saint and Greavsie", but I've never really been much of a football fan. Saw George Best play once and my father took us to see Stanley Matthews at the end of his career. I thought a number of players were worth watching on the telly because they were naturally gifted, players like Hoddle, Best and Le Saux.

Lineker in particular.
ReplyDeleteJames - yes, it's a pity he ever came back.
