    I think Bates would've been a first team regular at practically any other Division 1 at the time.

    Paul Mariner, Ernie Moss, Mick Bates all players I remember from my teenage years and after. Makes me realise even more that life is for living now. and not looking too far ahead. 87 days for retirement then all the time in the world to live life
