Chin update Meer Jimmy Hill: "January 1991. The fixture was Blackburn, then in the second division, versus Liverpool in an FA Cup third round tie but we shall remember it as Jimmy Hill versus a scrupulously honest ball girl. These were the days when Kenny Dalglish was manager of Liverpool and Blackburn were shite, so when they were leading 1-0 with only seconds left, it was time for everyone Rovers to unite. When the ball was hacked away for a Liverpool throw-in 20 yards from goal, it unfortunately went straight to a Blackburn ball girl. Instead of cunningly dropping it in a muddy puddle or accidently throwing it into the crowd, she tossed it immediately back to a frantic Liverpool player. He threw it deep into the box, Mark Atkins panicked and watched the ball cannon off his standing leg and past keeper Bobby Mimms for a sickening last gasp equaliser. And what did Hill blame - repeatedly - on the Beeb later that evening for Blackburn's failure to finish the job? Atkins, for his poor reactions? Rovers’ strikers, for not finishing Liverpool off when they had the chance? Mimms, for not coming out to claim the deep throw? No, the poor pony-tailed lass, of course. She’s probably still crying over the chinny git’s comments." (Ik denk dat het Nederlands equivalent van The Chin niet Johan Cruyff is, maar Hans Kraay sr. Hij lijkt mij de enige die ook in staat zou zijn tot zo'n hufterige streek.) | <$BlogCommentDeleteIcon$> |
