Cheers guv – All I can say, in my best Terry Thomas is; what an absolute shower.

Glad to hear the race went well guv! I’m not always sure where the line in the sand is drawn between radical training / on the lash – think I went for the latter yesterday!

Alright mate just getting to the end of the Yugoslavia section frightening and rivetting stuff . Brought back a lot of memories I remember supporting them as a young lad in the 74 World Cup , not just for the Blue Jersey , I thought they were a better footballing side than Holland , which really is saying something . I used to live near the Slovenian border too , so I found that section particularly interesting

It's the book you can only read wide-eyed and gob-smacked.

For completely different reasons, I'm enjoying the Studio 54 of Once in a Lifetime: The Incredible Story of the New York Cosmos - there was also a film /documentary based on the book but I've not seen it yet.

In the book they’ve just signed Lazio legend Chinaglia – who’s had to leave Italy after becoming a national villain for calling his manager a ‘Vaf***ulo’ in front of millions at the ’74 World Cup final against West Germany.

PS - If I haven't said so already - many thanks for 'School - not arrived yet, but thanks for sending!

You're more than welcome mate re the Institution for the Audibly Impaired " *

Chinaglia these Welsh are so uncouth !! Ivan's footy factlet du jour He was born in the South Welsh valleys Bet you're shocked now He probably snogged Green Gartside's Mam at the school disco to Tom Jones "GReen Green Grass of Home " hence her lad's name I'll check it out on Wiki , that font of all knowledge , just to be sure

**They used to do rehearsal in a school which served that purpose
Partly right Italian born , but grew up in Wales

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Chinaglia

According to the book he's born in Carrara but moved to Wales very early in his life and sounds Welsh when he speaks.

Sadly I can't find any youtube footage from the Fast Show of Paul Whitehouse doing his Geordie Italian footballer character, so, for no reason whatsoever here he is as Ron Manager
