    I was obviously born with lost skills syndrome which is why I never got to wear the red shirt apart from when stood / sat on the ponte. What a loss to Barnsley FC, I would have been in my prime in the late 80s early 90s banging in goals as a Center Forward. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    From Wikipedia:

    I need to speak to my accountant!!

    Werbeniuk was reported to have successfully claimed the cost of 6 pints of lager before every match as a tax deductible expense.

    Some of Werbeniuk's alleged feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s; 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink"; 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.

    That sounds like Wade Boggs. Who allegedly drank 63 beers on a single flight. From a recent interview:

    Boggs recalled:

    “It was on one of those flights from Boston to LA, and playing blackjack on the plane with a bunch of guys and just started. And actually didn’t know one of the guys was counting, and he says ‘Boggsy did you realize you’re about at 45 right now?’

    And I think we had another hour to go on the flight and I said ‘Oh wow, really? Okay.’ So we ended up with 73 for the flight, and then we just went out and had a good time in California, so went to 107.

    So that was the one day, and the next day got a post, Mark Langston was pitching and went 2-3 for two doubles off of him, so like they say in Hollywood the rest is history.”

    They don't make sportsmen like they used to!

    First thing Alf Tupper did after winning his 100m race was have a fish super.
    What an athlete.
