I’ll be writing about Villa goalkeepers in the programme in the coming season … including Jimmy of course. Right up there with the best in our history.

Anyone who can win 2 European Cup Winners medals by only playing 9 minutes in the process is a legend 🏅 🏅 😆 Seriously though: brilliant keeper ❤️

If there is one cricket book you read this year make it this one 🏏 A romantic and elegant ode to the Red Ball and Test Match format augmented by compelling interviews with an all-star cast of the great and good of our game ❤️ Highly recommend 👍

Jamie Magill Getting it, Jamie. Huw Turbervill is a super writer.

He certainly is 👍 🖊

At Old Trafford on August 1st 1961 England were cruising to victory at 150 for 1 chasing 256 when a spell of 5 for 12 by Richie Benaud (he finished with 6 for 70) gave Australia a 54-run win. Benaud's key wickets included Peter May two balls after he removed Ted Dexter

Just watching Premier League years on Sky Sports, 1992/1993 season. It was so fitting Robbo got to lift that trophy with Brucey. What a Man Utd player. God.

40 years ago today England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 in the 4th Test of the '85 Ashes ⚱️ had bowled out Australia 🇦🇺 for 257 at the end of Day 1 🏏 61 for DC Boon and 4 wickets each for Botham and PH Edmonds 👍 Remember the days when SLA bowlers flighted and turned it? ❤️ youtu.be/A5Z8pL018mY?si…

You can almost discern Hammond looking down on him saying: "Don't throw it away son!" 😆 🤣 😂 Richard Whitehead

Jamie Magill Richard Whitehead Len Hutton was born in 1916 so this picture was taken in 1924. Walter Hammond was born in 1903 and started his FC career in 1920. I doubt if Wally was on holiday in Blackpool in 1924. That was only his 2nd season for Gloucestershire as he was made to serve a 3yr qualification.

It was a touch of irony... I was referring to 1938 at the Oval: Hutton dog tired ready to throw it away until he regarded the balcony and the baleful figure of WR Hammond silently imploring him to stick at it; or else....

Bluff and counter bluff with Crawley and Siraj just then 🏏 Reminded me of the last ball of Day 4 of the 1st Test in the 1993 Ashes at Old Trafford when Mike Gatting expecting a short one from Merv Hughes instead received an inswinging yorker which duly bowled him ⚱️ ❤️

There were some good pies around Old Trafford that season as well Tonker 🥧 Nicky Welsh

There's some flu going around, no?
