Re: Re: Re: Re: Oh dear.... He was a SAFC legend! Also played for your lot! "Leonard Francis Shackleton, born on 3 May 1922 in Bradford, was a great British footballer of the post-World War II period. He came to the attention of the talent scouts by scoring 166 goals in six years of wartime football at Bradford Park Avenue. In February, 1948, after less than two years with Newcastle United F.C., where he was transferred for £13,000, he was signed to Sunderland for a then-record fee of £20,000. Shackelton was adored by Sunderland fans and he was known to prefer Sunderland to his previous club, local rivals, Newcastle, once remarking: "I'm not biased against Newcastle - I don't care who beats them!"" Notice that famous quote - ""I'm not biased against Newcastle - I don't care who beats them!" And that thick geordie got him tatooed on himself!!!!!!!!!!!
