General Football forum • Re: Things You Miss From Old Football
Little side note…..I’ve only ever been there once…it was when Chris Waddle was doing his coaching badges I was his assessor and we had “booked” a session there because it was convenient for both of us…..anyway at one point after his session had finished he was “coaching” lads how to curl a free kick in over the wall….he put the ball down and just bent it into the top corner….one of the lads said bet ye can’t do that again….bang straight in the top corner again at this point I said Chris as a coach your supposed to coach them how to do it…oh right he said….so lads put the ball down and the put your foot like that and bang in it went…there ye go boys….and walked off ha ha …On a slightly different tangent, this is the current story about my local team… I’d like to say it whiffs of pure bullshit, but why even make it a thing??
“Rumours of a Qatari-backed £250 million bid for the world’s oldest football club, Sheffield FC, have begun to circulate, with a Yorkshire tech scene veteran at the centre of them in Dave Richards MBE.
Richards is fronting the offer for Sheffield FC alongside Yorkshire AI Labs, the Sheffield venture capital firm which he is a founding member and managing director of.
If the proposed deal goes ahead, it would instantly be one of the most surreal and ambitious football projects in the country – a ninth-tier club with the financial backing to become one of the richest teams on the planet.”
