A classic 80s film and was a precursor to the Naked Gun films really

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:25 pm

"I guess I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue."

I know that, its an old film, 80's im sure of it. AHHHHH

Just seen it, horrible news. Pep on his way back?

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:29 pm

It is an 80s film ZZZ

It's not really the quotes that are best about it either, I love the visual gags.

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:31 pm

Thoughts go out to Tito.

Sod - the guitar playing nun makes me laugh in that film when she knocks out the life support Laugh

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:33 pm

AIRPLANE !!!!!!!

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:33 pm

My favourite bit is where Lloyd Bridges leans on his desk in a exasperated pose, and the picture behind him on the wall is the exact same pose. It's a bit obscure that one, but I want to get that picture for my wall!

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:35 pm

Spoiler:

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:38 pm

That's the one! I want to get that image on a print or something.

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:12 pm

Was it something I said...?

Just a bit of fun, but how many English one-club men can you name? No using Wikipedia, I have already done so!

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:17 pm

english one club players, does that include youth too or just from senior contracts?

Scholes. Gary Neville. Gerrard. Carragher. All I know off the top of my head. Will try think of more.

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:18 pm

Yes to all four of those

Just senior I think

by Gregers Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:20 pm

John Terry

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:21 pm

Not Terry - he had a loan spell at another club!

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:24 pm

Tony Hibbert
Matt le Tissier

by **Hero** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:25 pm

Giggs & Fletcher for Utd
Richards for City
Scholes + for Arsenal

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:26 pm

Trying to think of a Norwich one. Thing with us is if they're crap they go but if they're good they get snapped up by someone else!

by Trebs Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:28 pm

Giggs and Fletcher aren't English.
Scholes+ isn't as good as Scholes so doesn't count

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:29 pm

Tony Adams
Brian Labone

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:31 pm

Bryan Gunn???

I'm really struggling

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:31 pm

Ledley King

by Trebs Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:32 pm

Gabby Agbonlahor?
Steve Harper?

by **Hero** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:33 pm

I think he still counts though, I don't the criteria then went into who was better afterwards. And clearly his name shows he's better anyway. He has a + on the end.

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:33 pm

Olly, try thinking of non Norwich ones Laugh

I'm trying to rack my brains for names. I can think of the player, but not the name. Charlton defender from the late 1990s and and that Portsmouth keeper who was their for 50 years in the 80s and 90s....

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:35 pm

Wasn't Harper at Brighton last year?

Also I'm pretty sure Agbonlahor went out on loan somewhere

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:35 pm

Ledley is
Adams is
Le Tiss, of course, is
Brian Labone is
Tony Hibbert is

There is only one other Evertonian on the list Afro - if you get it I will be amazed!

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:36 pm

Do they have to have played for a certain length of time to qualify, coz their must be loads of young players who have just come through

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:37 pm

Scholes + played on loan at Bolton for a year. I remember him scoring against West Ham at Upton Park the season we went down.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:37 pm

Any Norwich ones Soddy?

Which means it is one from a long time ago and the player that springs to mind is we had a keeper who was our leading appearance holder until Big Nev took it. Fearless Ted Sagar?

by Guest Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:39 pm

hey guys

There is but one Norwich one, and you won't get it in a billion years

I take my hat off to you, you have named all the Evertonians

by **Hero** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:41 pm

The mighty John Askey

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:41 pm

John Askey appears, yes, although I've no idea who he is Laugh

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:42 pm

Boom. Sagar was a guess based purely on his appearances Laugh

And Olly can't even get one Norwich player...

Who is Norwich's leading appearance holder - that's got to be worth a shout.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:43 pm

Is it Ian Culverhouse Soddy?

by **Hero** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:43 pm

sodhat wrote:John Askey appears, yes, although I've no idea who he is

Macc Legend, after he retired he became coach and for a while manager, he was rubbish at it though.

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:43 pm

According to the hall of fame, the leading appearance holder is someone called Ron Ashman

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:44 pm

Didn't Askey manage Macc Town as well?

by **Hero** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:45 pm

Yes, he was rubbish at it though.

Oh and another who had ties with Macc after he retired playing...

Paul Lake.

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:46 pm

Ron Ashman is the man indeed, Norwich's only entry on the list that I have.

Which European Cup winning manager spent his entire 50+ year playing and coaching career with the same club?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:48 pm

Must say I have never heard of Ron Ashman. When did he play?

Was it in the good old days at The Nest?

Boom, I even get the Norwich one (albeit with help from the Hall of Fame)

And Bob Paisley is the answer

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:50 pm

50s and 60s Olly, with a spell as manager in the 60s too

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:50 pm

Paisley is correct!

With which club did Dutch legend Johan Cruyff finish his playing career?

by **Afro** Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:52 pm

sodhat wrote:Paisley is correct!

Was it Norwich?

I want to say Ajax, but I have a feeling he went off an did one last season somewhere else and I don't know where

by sodhat Wed Dec 19, 2012 2:53 pm

It was not Ajax.
