Memory Lane FA Cup Memories

The Mansfield Keeper was Welsh international Dave Hollins


HA! I believe I'm right in saying I saw John Hollin's only International game (certainly his first ) against ? at Wembley.Clue :Jimmy Greaves also played in the game,which I believe was his last International against ? (not long after the 1966 World Cup).
 
Yeah,old fashioned prescriptive grammar.:Dunce:

Move with the times,old chap.

Those poor Europeans you teach are not receiving 'proper' or 'correct' grammatical instruction then?

I'd ask for my Euros back.

PS. Grammatically correct sentences generally have a space after a comma too.........

Grammatically correct sentences end with fewer than nine full stops, if we're being pedantic.

Correct .We won 2-0 IIRC.Can't really remember the goalscorers now but I'm pretty sure JG got one of them.

From "move with the times" to talking about a random match from 1967 in 60 seconds:Unsure:

Anyway, let's get back on topic as we seem to have strayed from the FA Cup - how about some goalkeeping performances - from Bert Trautman in the mud (more stories of this match please), Neville Southall at Goodison, to Steve Mildenhall v Chelsea and that Paul Smith display at Griffin Park.

Multiple dots at the end of a sentence automatically become ‘ellipses’ not “full stops” (which are singular by definition), if we’re being pedantic.
 
An ellipsis is a set of three periods ( . . . ) indicating an omission. Each period should have a single space on either side, except when adjacent to a quotation mark, in which case there should be no space.
