Sad news RIP “The pace of the Megane is too leisurely to be called quick. Uphill runs become power sappingly mundane whilst overtaking National Express coaches becomes a long, drawn-out affair. Not my words, Carol, those are the words of Top Gear Magazine.” Logged Offline 0 0 Reply: 1 - 11 GyFerrers October 30, 2020, 7:59am Lager Top Drinker Posts: 267 Posts Per Day: 0.17 Reputation: 56.15% Rep Score: +4 / -7 Approval: -59 Is this the Jimmy Thompson who used to smash penalties, if the keeper managed to get in the way he’d join the ball in the back of the net, number 4 I think?

Both were full blooded rockets straight down the middle.....I was stood right behind them and ducked both times!! Their keeper asked me if he gets another can we swop places! Remember Jimmy was small but built like a brick shithouse... . Great memories......
