Toilet rolls (British Rail issue) featured heavily in City away games late 60s/early 70s. The shiny Izal type ones seemed to be designed to travel a lot further than the softer variety:hehe:
They also ensured the shit travelled a lot further as well.Quote:

Football is the biggest sport in the world. I am unsure why they expect low prices in the round of 16 in the biggest club competition on the planet.
