This is top flight time machine, I am Andy Hopbody Dawson, Pau Pau Pau.

I am Sir Mitty Delaney, so well. Welcome along to another Melchester Odyssey.

I have in my left hand the 8th of October 1983 issue of Roy of the Rovers,

20 pence to you, back then. Across the top it threatens us with the sign please,

Spursers Gary Stevens. Do you want to have a look? Yeah,

there he is. Lovely looking chat money, it was very confusing. The 86 World Cup,

two Gary Stevens and one Trevor Stevens. Yeah, that's true. I'm still not fully recovered from that

now. And Paul Robby Robertson, he didn't know whether he was coming or going over the whole thing

today. I know exactly. I mean Gary Stevens of Everton was a decent right back. I wasn't his

biggest fan. He sort of took over from Viv Anderson didn't he? But yeah, he was decent. Gary

Stevens was a bit of a utility man. I sometimes wondered whether Bobby Robston picked the Spurs,

Gary Stevens, sort of almost by mistake. Maybe it was this Gary Stevens that got Maradona

shirt though after that. Really? Argentina game. Yeah, he must have come on a sub. I don't remember

him starting that game. There's a picture of him, I think he's standing shirtless himself,

but holding the Maradona shirt. And I don't think he might have sold it recently.
