Frank Worthington played for the team I support (Stockport County) when he was nearly 40 and he was still class.

Very true, or at least frequented their town's night clubs!

Watched it earlier and remember it from the time. Just amazing. I haven't really seen anything like that since.

Everything about it is superb. Even the finish in the corner. I have a few mates who are Bolton fans so that has come up in conversation a few times over the years!

It's a bit similar to Gazza's goal vs Holland but on gorilla steroids. The control of his initial header is brilliant, then it just gets better.

Hello,

Aguero will be missed by City but I think it's good to move on for both club and player.

However, he was affecting play so he's offside versus Leicester.

So is this thread's title going to be changed to European Super League Thread? :shifty:

Hello,

I seldom agree with FIFA's perspective but the Super League is a good idea only for the owners. The American version of capitalism has taken hold among some club owners.

My group chats have been aflame with outrage over this. Looks like Chelsea's trying to reverse course.
