"Ze see gulls follow ze trawler...."
Asked on BBC's Football Focus what the highlight of his career was, he responded:
'When I did the kung fu kick on the hooligan, because these kind of people don't have to be at the game.
'I think maybe it's like a dream for some, you know sometimes to kick these kind of people.
'So I did it for them. So they are happy. It's a kind of freedom for them.
'So I speak about that because maybe they felt it. Because they felt something special physically. Maybe it was a different feeling.
'It's a great feeling, but different.'

Earl Denman, who sniggered in the face of convention and took on Everest by himself (with Tenzing) in 1947. What a guy.
And another epic fail. A guy who wasn't afraid to do things a little differently. In this case, slower:

I believe he's now in negotiations with ScotRail.

Willie Anderson stands up to the Kiwis
In front of a 50,000 capacity crowd as Shelford led the chorus, Anderson's men in green linked arms and began to shuffle forward into the mass of black jerseys.
Shelford and Anderson smelt each other's breath as the crescendo of the crowd rose expecting fireworks and a bit of argy-bargy before the game even started.

I agree.
I included Denham because he was a renegade, not a good climber - illegally climbing on Everest, dodging Tibetan soldiers etc, his 'solo' climb ended in abject failure. Tenzing was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing.
