Touch Line dad with family - and European Cup winner

JACK stood before me in his Buzz Lightyear pyjamas, hands on hips. I kicked him hard in the shins. Instead of falling to the carpet and rolling in agony, he laughed. 'Do it again, Dad. Do it again. We’ll trick Mum.' I didn’t fancy chancing our comedy double act with The Gaffer, so instead Jack clambered into bed still wearing his new 'shinnies.' 'Maybe tomorrow, eh dad?' he asked as he closed his eyes to see his Premiership heroes greet him.

From The Mouths of Babes

PLAYERS from Everton's glory days of the mid-1980s teamed up for a night to remember at Goodison Park.

It meant a late night for Jack, but he really enjoyed himself. Eight goals were rattled in with a Barcelona veterans' team winning 5-3 against the Everton old boys.

So, what were Jack's observations?

"They were really good but a bit slow and fat," he revealed the next day.

You think that is slow and fat? Wait till your dad is their age...

Noodles, bit childish - but yes it's got me thinking...

Can't believe you missed out the most famous fatty to don a Liverpool shirt, Sammy Lee. What was it 'He's fat, he's round, he's worth a million pound...'

In fairness to Sharpy, I think he looks pretty slim in our photo so I don't think he'd make the Queens 'Pork' Rangers team.

There was a famous goalie from the 1920s or 30s who weighed about 20 stone. The only time anyone scored against him was when he bent down to p-p-p-pick up his Penguin.

I'll have to google him now. What do I search under. Fat goalies?
