Alan Mullery

They don't have that many red cards, really, do

they? No, there's only about 20, I think, altogether, starting with Alan Mullery.

Alan Mullery, yeah.

Ray Wilkins got sent off to the World Cup.

He did

have you ever tried left back I said I'm right footed he said don't worry no one will ever notice I played 427 games as a right footed left back did you notice

I did yeah we were only talking earlier on with Alan Mullery's goal goal of the season against Leicester you got the second assist with your right foot and left back

I did yeah there you go it worked

So did you ever thank Peter Cohen or did you thank him every time you saw him? No, I

I'm Keith, otherwise known as Orient Keith.

We were chatting earlier about that Fulham team in the mid-1970s when you had the sort of Galacticos playing for you, I can call them.

Likes of Rodney Marsh and George Best and Bobby Moore, Alan Mullery, etc.

What was that like during those period and have you got any particular stories?

But it just came into my mind.

Alan Mullery was just the most fantastic captain, an intelligent shouty bastard, basically, who put himself on the line for the team and in front of the manager and things like that.

And maybe football now just doesn't encourage that sort of personality.

Why have we got five captains, for instance? That sort of points to a lack of one strong leader.

And what interested me was he was not afraid to get into it.

It's a very famous for people of our generation interview he conducted between Alan Mullery and Malcolm Allison.

You remember that? Because throughout the World Cup in 1970, Allison had been saying, Colin Bell should be starting, not Alan Mullery.

And it's really, I mean, it's not just rude.

He's telling what he thought.

Alan Mullery is really slow.

He doesn't score enough goals.

He's not good enough.
