I remember we played Chelsea for Andy Thompson’s ( ?) testimonial .He ‘came on ‘as substitute and the fans were in awe of him as a World Cup Winner and a big roar went up as he was about to come on only to realise it was another player who had a similar build and lack of hair ,I think it was Frank Sinclair .

I always made the mistake of mixing up Vialli and Frank Sinclair.

Gianluca Vialli. 58

Absolutely brutal. The same disease I lost my dad to. Gutted.

RIP Gianluca.

He didn't win a World Cup - was part of the 1990 squad alright .

Totally understandable, I always look at pictures of me and often thought, is that Kylie Minogue? (similar number of arms and legs)

I recall that site a few years back where you could enter an image of your face and it would tell you which World Cup footballer you most resembled.

I was some German guy, the missus was an Icelandic fella. For a laugh I entered the dog and she came up as Ashley Young

All the fans saw was a shaven headed player in a blue shirt . I remember because I was there.

And the creed and the colour and the name don't matter I was there

 

[Tredman]

Maybe time to stop digging. Was also there and 100% didn’t confuse the two because eyes.

I remember when Paul Cook first came back to molineux (with Tranmere I think?). He was one of the subs, I think it was when you have 2 outfield players and a GK. Anyway, the other guy got subbed on to applause by the molineux faithful, followed by some awkward faces and "that ay Cookie" being said by a few.

Must have been a massive ego boost for Cookie...

Didn't your mate text you, to inform who was coming on, or had you had one to many Rattlers?
