Edinburgh Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 RIP Nobby Stiles JackDoff and Smoggy 2 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Edinburgh said: RIP Nobby Stiles No! Not Nobby He was i think Jackie Charlton's first signing for Middlesbrough..played for us for couple of years. He did that dance with the world cup trophy on the pitch at Wembley in 66.. Too sad..2020 can get ****ed Edinburgh, JackDoff, sonar and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Nobby in his Boro days in the classic 1970's strip, part of one of the greatest sides Boro ever put out Nobby marking Georgie Best, Boro in their classic Inter Milan blue and black striped away strip The classic 70's team, around 1974, Nobby the short fella in the middle, a young Graeme Souness on the far left. This is what all Boro home strips are measured against. Nobby was little midfield dynamo Rottweiler, constantly snapping at the heels of the opposition. He wasn't pretty to watch but **** he was effective. He did the hard graft so that players like Bobby Charlton could do their thing. Before the world cup semi final in 66 against Portugal Alf asked Nobby to 'Take Eusebio out', Nobby responded ' just this game or for good?' lol Nobby was kidding a bit there lol He got stuck in but only so far. He man marked Eusebio anyway and did his job. Nobby and Jackie Charlton were the hard grafters of the England 66 team for sure. When he played for Middlesbrough he wore contact lenses and during the first half at Ayresome he lost one. At half time he asked someone to go out and look for it and they asked 'where roughly do you think it would be'..another Boro player responded 'in the ******* centre circle, he never ******* moves from there'. Nobby's knees were ****ed by the time he signed for us and was playing though pain much of the time, but always did his job. RIP Nobby lad, you have earned it.
