Powerlock 7h
Good tag bout at St James, definite heels in the Dennisons I think most of the crowd would have rooted for Pallo and Colbeck .
You might well be right Powerlock. Who am I to argue? (No need to comment Anglo Italian).
The only thing that makes me question your judgement is that in 1966 Pallo was just the swaggering big 'ead we couldn't stand. A Londoner at that. Might even have been worse than a couple of northern villains.
The mellow Pallo we liked only came along a few years later when he had to be the responsible dad looking after JJ.
