Thread Name: BS: Is Futball Rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Futball Rubbish?
Futball didn't use to be rubbish but I think it is now. I saw a programme (drama) many years ago, starring (name slipped mind - him who was in Minder) - yes, Dennis waterman. It was about the VERY first World Cup - forgotten about because it was before First World War. And the main league wasn't interested - sisn't think it would work. So it was left to the Sunday leagues to sort out. And the VERY first World Cup was WON by a Sunday League team from Bishop Aukland against Jeuventas (?) - all miners, who didn't 'hold' with training - wonderful programme.

I think the cup was stolen from the clubhouse about ten years ago.
