Fast walkers are psychopaths. They should be treated accordingly.

Also though, I know Lawro is mentioned as an aside here, but it’s high time there was a re-evaluation of just how brilliant he was for Liverpool; could do it all. The fact that he’s been a bit of a tit since should not diminish that

It’s a very good piece and the Nicol/Robbo thing is a very good debate and as someone who’s seemingly of a similar vintage, I just go for Robbo. In Nicol’s defence, was he not a right back shifted onto the left ? Whatever, Stevie Nicol was The Business.

Apart from the murder itself, it shows how Venture Capitalists got into the East and made an absolute killing by basically writing off any (admittedly struggling) industry and the jobs that went with that. As I say, it seems surreal now

Loads of aspects of it are baffling - how actual Nazis ended up in positions of influence in the name of law and order etc. then there’s how it came apart. There’s a doc on Netflix about the murder of the fella in charge of the DDR economy after the wall came down contd..

Great book that. I find the whole concept of East Germany fascinating these days. Feels surreal.
