Badger Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 " They got to get it up the p1tch to Gary Line Acre " I'll never forget that Mick Line Acre was one of the classics (for those of us old enough to remember it). That was the WC of 1986 where he insisted that England's attacking options should be "Percy Vere with Pter Beardsley.." or so it sounded in his inimatable accent. Whenever Mick was on the panel you could guarentee an honest and forthright opinion and answer , unlike the feeble "he'll be disappointed with that.." from the wooden Townsend etc now.

Badger Posted 28 August, 2014 Share Posted 28 August, 2014 My boyhood hero A shared position with Jim Steele for a while with me, but no doubting Mick was one of our greatest ever, not just as a player but as a personality also. Having spent much of my early life in the west country it was good to hear his accent in those days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Majestic Channon Posted 28 August, 2014 Author Share Posted 28 August, 2014 Does anyone remember his return here after signing for Man City ? The abuse he received was incredible. Yes and i remember him becoming the whipping boy when he re signed for us , one game he rolled back the years beating 4 or 5 players and unluckily hitting the post , he then ran past the west stand cupping his ears.
