17 October World of Soccer Stars England Manager ??? The speculation for Kevin Keegan's replacement as England manager continues ad nauseum. On Sunday, 'The Observer' listed the betting odds for various possible replacements and 6-4 favourite is Terry Venables (QPR). Tezza has, of course been the manager before, and left before there was chance for him to be disgraced. If I took several years out of my work I would be expected to join a re-start scheme. No such concerns for Terry. A telephone poll printed in 'Sport First on Sunday', having opened its phonelines in the Friday edition, gave Terry 92 per cent of the support for becoming England manager! The paper even began a campaign 'Yell for Tel'!! Other 70-71 men with odds quoted are Howard Wilkinson 14-1, Arsene Wenger (To be confirmed)16-1, Peter Taylor (Southend) 20-1, Bobby Robson 25-1 and Alex Ferguson 33-1. Wilko offered the idea that the next World Cup should be abandoned in favour of allowing the youngsters time to develop for the one after - like France did for 1998 (apparantly). He also suggested an old gadger should work with a young pup to groom for the future. Both Bobby Robson (old), and Peter Taylor (young) have said they would be available for this if they were approached. 10 October England Appointment Whilst all the speculation continues as to who will be the next England manager, caretaker manager has brought in the Leeds United Football Academy director, Brian Kidd (ManU) as his no.2, or is that = no.2, because Stuart Pearce has been brought in to help also.See Leeds United Football Club - The Official Website Psycho Memories And talking of Stuart Pearce's encounters with ex-Man United players ... 'The Non League Paper' (September 10, no.25) made much of the fact that West Ham United and ex-England player, Stuart Pearce, began his career by going through the non-League ranks. He played for five and a half years forWealdstone. Pearce, who has a bestselling football biography, 'Psycho' is well known for being one of football's older players - he was 8 at the start of the 70-71 season - but his party piece was to tell people that he played against Alex Stepney (ManU) ! Alex dates from the days when England had four serious contenders for the number one England slot and thus was only capped once. Whilst this may make Pearcey sound older than he is, Alex was nearly 41 at the time and playing for the Alliance side,Altrincham during a Championship winning spell that they had and Pearce was only 18. Best Advert George Best has combined his recent
appearances in milk and Sky television adverts, by being
in an advert for Channel 5' Milkshake programme. The
picture which appeared in today's 'The Times' newspaper
(and possibly others) showed a present day picture of
George with a super-imposed badly drawn white smile over
his mouth.'He's just watched 'Milkshake' on Channel Five'
runs the slogan. It seems that this is Kids' Zone telly
for Channel 5 and is available on Sky digital from 7.30
a.m.. See www.channel5.co.uk/milkshake 3 October Smith Out Oxford United - bottom of Division Two at present have sacked Dennis Smith (Stoke City). Dennis will not be leaving the club altogether, he will remain on in an advisory capacity, which sounds a lot like Oxford can't afford the compensation pay out ! Webb In And as reported on 1st October, it was confirmed yesterday that Southend United have appointed David Webb for his third spell as their manager. 1 October Southend Netted Webb ? No sooner had Bob's 70-71 Pages caught up with Chelsea Cup Final Goal Hero, David Webb (Chelsea) as manager of Yeovil Town, than he's off again. It is believed Webb has left to manage Southend United- a club he has managed twice before 1986-87, and 1988-92. The news is a huge disappointment for Yeovil Town, who are currently second in the Nationwide Conference League. The announcement came immediately after the sixth successive victory on Saturday, and follows Alan Little's departure (See News). See News from Huish Park Hurst's Hoard
The famous No.10 Shirt that saw a unique World Cup Final Hatrick Last month Bob's 70-71 pages reported on Sir Geoff Hurst's large sale at Christie's. The sale which was raising money for charity sold for a total of 274,409 pounds. The shirt pictured above was the very one in which he scored the hatrick for England in 1966 and sold for 91,750 pounds. The England cap won for his part in the 1970 World Cup Finals fetched 4,935 (if only I'd had 5,000!). The picture featured in last month's story went for 4,112 pounds. Only 34 of the 129 available lots failed to sell.

It has been my good
