That's just great. Especially the one of Shanks addressing the players with the fans hanging off the fence. It just says so much.
 
Dear old Shanks - he always looked about 60, even when he was quite young. Fantastic pictures.

So, we have a ball, okay? And it's round, okay? So it rolls on the grass, okay? So keep it on the grass, okay, and pass it, okay? Keep passing and moving, okay? And I'm going to drum it into all of you, okay, time and time again, okay, that you must fight for your life, okay, for this club, okay? Okay, once this camera crew leaves us all alone, okay, we'll start the dance, okay? Now, who wants a cuddle?
 
What makes those pictures special for me is that the characters in them look like they are having fun and are proud they are lucky enough to be involved in a Football Club. Rose tinted specs yes but they look to me as if money is the last thing they'd be worrying about.
 
Yes, it shows how much things have changed. The first day that Hodge, supposedly the epitome of 'old school' values, took to the training pitch as England manager, he had to run back off because he realised he'd forgotten to put on his great big clunking designer watch, which he always needs to be seen to be wearing in order keep his contract with the makers. What a culture.


This isn't colour, but it's one of the best of Shanks:

Yeah it is one of my favourites. Shanks seemed to have a child-like love for the game and it is nowhere better captured than in this image.
