From the Observer archive, 10 January 1971: George Best and Bobby Moore – peas in a pod?
Posted on 12 January 2014.
Both players made headlines for the wrong reasons, but the parallels end there Bobby Moore and George Best have so much in common, especially in a week when their crass misdemeanours have forced them to share embarrassing headlines, that many people will fail to identify the vast dissimilarities in their natures. This is a pity, for it can only encourage the gloating of those who are always anxious to tell us that professional footballers are uncouth louts who…

Scrapper Allardyce Rallies The Troops Brilliantly
Posted on 11 January 2014.
Damn the man! We hate him. And hate him with good reason. He is a tactical Neanderthal. He is arrogant. He is coarse and crude and belligerent. But bugger him, just when you think you have him down and defenceless, he grabs your foot in mid kick and flips you over backwards! Let’s get one thing straight. Greenwood would not have won today’s game after a 5-0 and 6-0 hammering. Nor would Lyall. Nor Bonds. Nor …

Is Andy Carroll the next Dean Ashton?
Posted on 11 January 2014.
Those of us with long enough memories will read the suggestions of Carroll being rushed back early with a sense of deep trepidation.
