On the basis you were about 7 when he stopped playing full time I would suggest you might have a few more prejudices that need re-thinking. I hate to mention it, but it is that time of year, but that Santa Claus fella, he's mythical as well.

If you were to type "Dean Sampson breaks Kelvin Skerrett's jaw" into You Tube you'd see a young Diesel being slightly other than scrupulously fair!

That said, Skerrett probably had it coming.






Uncanny likeness BTW

For inventing it? No, but seeing all these hirsute faces is its own reward

I remember the incident. My only problem with it was Sampson looking apologetic afterwards.

8 if your being precise. But I did/do own a wonderful device called a Video Player/Recorder.......some of the games I recorded featured him and I occasionally watch them from time to time. I have no prejudices against players unless they are damn right dirty. Unfortunately Sampson was back then, had his great moments but then messed it up with unnecessary dirty play. Aww you've just ruined Christmas

Karl was never dirty, just misunderstood..mind you, in his day there were many more misunderstood players about..

Not a B?

Hope you didn't do anything to wind them up? Though no, silly question, you obviously didn't...

I would have suggested that to them, but it might have made them even angrier.

Never saw Skerrett play. Hardly saw any of Fairbank but from what I saw he was more of a hardcase than a dirty ......more of a Radford than a Ryan Bailey.

Jimmy was a dirty little git, the difference is he actually had class......
