Pistol was the man. He was WAY before his time. Would be perfect for today’s game.

The fascinating thing to me is that kids instinctively drill as a form of play. At some stage that is taught out of them (or nature does?) and we then have to ‘drill’ the idea back into teens again.

I loved Pistol Pete.

Just like doing scales for a musical instrument.

I'm not sure which is more dated: Pistol's short-shorts... Or whatever the hell Red was wearing...

His biographies are incredible reads. I love the stories of him dribbling while riding a bike.

Performance is fickle. But habit is King.

I had two soccer playing friends. The one who was extremely gifted partied the night before a game and became a government employee. The one who did the tedious drills played against Maradona in a UEFA cup qualifier. PAOK vs Napoli.
