Things footballers don't do anymore

- Boot the ball high in the air when they come out onto the pitch
- A little hop & skip as they run to take a free kick
- Have a punch up with the opposition

I think we should stop this thread right here, that's the best

Shake hands with their team mates after they score a goal

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Drink in the pub before games

 

[McBrid]

Don’t see much badge kissing nowadays. Which im a fan of as some players did it but never meant it

Become a landlord or open a corner shop
Drive a sponsored car

Be ready to come on at a minutes notice. Surprised some of them don't have their man's dressing them.

RIP Big Mal

Brought Kevin Beattie, what a player, with only one good leg he was awesone
Paul Sugrue IMHO, he will look back at the Boro at probably his best time in foitball
& two future Boro legends in Stephen Pears, 1st loaned Boro player
Gary Pallister, brought for a trial to the club

Big Mal also gazumped me on a house I had agreed to buy in Hutton Rudby.
He was a cash buyer (in a brown paper bag I suspect )

Take a corner with the ball in the middle of the quarter circle. It has to be just touching the outside of the line and more often then not the corner still doesn't get past the first man! Why, why, why?

 

[Marvanelli]

Put vicks vaporub on their chest.

 

[Borotommo]

Catch the bus to and from the game

Outfield player taking a goalkick when the keeper has picked up a knock.

Yes and similarly make a terrible attempt at a throw in and not get penalised for a foul throw.

Roll their socks down (Terry Cochrane style)
