He said it a a dinner at Stoke once but I just thought I bet he says that at every club he talks at.

I was a bit distracted by his wife's revealing dress and had a few at the time so the rest was a bit of a blur

I used to tell people this in the 90s and they wouldn't believe me

I had the programme for a 1975 game early in the season and it had a write up on the pre-season friendly with Stockport, and a quote from Best was, "if i could choose one club to play for in England, it would be Stoke. They play my kind of football"

I had it on my wall for ages but several house moves later I cant find it. If anyone has any full page scans of it, id be grateful

That was pretty much what he said at dinner but being a cynic I thought he'd be at say Huddersfield tomorrow doing the same thing and substitute their name for ours but obviously not.

That would have been something.

Easier to imagine Joe's scenario.

I can just imagine Waddo (or more likely Frank Mountford) chasing round all the pubs on a Saturday afternoon trying to find them and drag them back in time for kick-off. Good job we used to kick-off at 3:15!
