'FourFourTwo' April 2002 No.92

Bob Rating: BB

Not a lot this month, but still the odd scrap as always.

  • Brian Clough (Derby County manager)'s regular column, 'Over the Top', this month includes a 60s/70s picture of Dave Mackay. It seems Cloughie had sat next to Dave at this season's Derby County v Sunderland match. He says that Dave was his best bargain signing and they agreed that football is a hard drug to give up. This brought home the article which covered both Graham Taylor (Lincoln City) and Sir Alex Ferguson's return (or non-leaving) to Premier League football management.

  • The 'A Minute Silence' Obituary feature included Jeff Astle as well as John Bromley and Ramon Moreno Grosso, which I will later add to this site's Obituary pages.

  • World Cup Classics no.5 - this month is Maradonna's classic versus England in Mexico 1986, the day of the famous 'Hand of God' goal. I mention this only because Peter Shilton is the goalie, of course.

  • Carlos Alberto (Santos) is interviewed by Neil Billingham which mainly focused on the 1970-71 World Cup win, but there was a little 'Where are they now ?' info.

  • Stan Bowles (Manchester City) gives us some more of his cheeky-chapie footballing memories of the Seventies. Actually it was the first article I read this month, it makes fun reading.

  • Smirnoff vodka run an advert using their catch phrase, 'as clear as your conscience'. It is a page large photo of Roger Hunt (Bolton Wanderers) celebrating that doubtful goal in the 1966 World Cup Final, amongst a few prostrate West Germans!

  • And the '66 Final is also exploited by Kitbag ( www.kitbag.com ), who sell the reversible England away shirt by showing the red shrted players of the England winning team. Bobby Charlton holds the Jules Rimet trophy in the after match celebrations flanked by Alan Ball and Bobby Moore.

  • And finally, a feature on football tattoos has the ultimate Man City 70-71 tattoo ... a picture of Colin Bell (Manchester City)
