Random Recollections

Occasionally, my mates and I reminisce about footballers of yesteryear. Guys we used to watch when we were kids, but now in the days of Messi, Fabregas and Torres, guys who we have pretty much forgotten existed.

It is always a good laugh when one of us pulls someone outrageous from the deep depths of our memory - someone obscure, someone unique, someone with a crazy name, or someone who spent several years toiling away in an unglamourous left full back role before slipping out of the public eye almost instantly.

Oyvind Leonhardsen!!!!!!

Amongst others, played for Liverpool, Spurs and Wimbledon (RIP lads!).

Still going strong this season at about 134 years of age, captaining a side in his native Norway, but due to retire at the end of the year.
