Quote cod'ead="cod'ead"Another of his acts of bravado occurred in a semi against the old enemy. IIRC Ronnic Campbell was the referee and we'd been awarded a penalty, about 10 metres (or yards in old money) in from touch and about 40 metres from the goal line. Ron took the ball up to the spot and pointed at the sticks. He then took a tap and ran. All the rovers players had turned their backs as soon as Ron pointed. What they didn't realise was that he'd pointed at the sticks and said to Cambell "we're taking a tap".
