 I watched a show on tv the other night titled 'Mavericks of football' I was suprised not to see David Bowen or  Northampon town's rise to division  not one even given a mention, Did anyone else on here see it and feel the same?

 Well getting the cobblers from the forth division up to the first devision in five years  was some achevement,As Joe Mrecer said,''the mircale of 1966 was not England winning the world cup, it was Dave Bowen getting little Northampton to to the first division''. He knew Bowen well and he new he had verry little money to play with. I think that made him a maverick, if ever there was one.

Thought I was the only one who picked up on that!

Mr Knill thinking JJ was 'a character' for having a guitar (most commonly played instrument on the planet?) and reading a book about one of the most commercially successful bands of the last 30 years drew a pretty clear line in the sand in terms of what's considered culturally 'alternative' among the football fraternity.

Says more about Alan Knill than football.
