There’s something healthy when the arrival of a new striker, who has yet to trouble the net, has raised the game of an incumbent. If you talk to footballers they’ll tell you they need to be challenged. Even most greats hit a comfort zone, where they know they are cherished by manager and fans alike, so that knot in the stomach about where the next contract is coming from never materialises.
Gary Hooper missed this at Celtic. He was the apple of Neil Lennon’s eye, and clearly top striker at Celtic, but a few seasons in his appetite for the same old challenge seemed to wane. I’m assured by those who shared a dressing room with Henrik Larsson, this was one area which set the Swede aside. The accolades meant nothing to him, he wanted every trophy, every record, which perhaps indicates why he captured the Champions League in his mid-30s.

Sorry. It’s under 72nd hole score of winner.
Oh, I have boobed. It’s the winner’s score at the final hole. 2 or less. Aye, no wonder it’s 33s.
Sorry for misleading the blog. Just have to hope the winner gets a 2 at the last or it’s a quid down the drain.

Was at both tournaments, great memories. The photo’s posted look like they were from 81. Recognize a guy from London, he’s holding the butchers apron in the second photo, name Hannigam I think. What a character, met in in Hamburg ( confidently the section of the ground we were situated in for the Hamburg game was H Block!) before moving onto Rotterdam. Met people there that are still friends to this day ( they were from the London no1 CSC. Hail Hail !!
