Sorry squire, it was just in relation to 1966, Ali and Everton fans. There was a link, originally.

 

no not really, it just seems the UK is being invaded by assylum seekers from the likes of Somalia and Pakistan (who happen to be Muslims) and they all seem to have this anti-England agenda

There has been a few high profile murders in the UK from gangs from the two countries above

 

nah he's definetly an immigrant he's always criticising the British fighters as well

 

Sad ****er. Why doesn't he **** off out the country then? :huh

 

^^ I can't stand this piece of sh*t

 

In 1966, Ali was reaching the peak of his powers as a fighter, but he had become person non grata in his own country for daring to speak his mind about a certain war.

This, plus the fact that he truly took to heart the title of Champion of the World lent itself to our seeing Ali in venues such as Canada, England and Germany in 1966.

It all came to a head at the Astrodome against the Big Cat, as Ali showed what the most talented heavyweight champion of all time could do when inspired by the inner fire of the good fight.

I sometimes think about Ali in '66. He knew he was the greatest fighter in the world, yet, instead of simply going the way of hedonism and conceit, he sided with the little and exploited. Whenever I envision him floating so marvelously and royally that night in Houston, I see a true champion in and out of the ring.

 

Well said, truly the greatest:good

 

I'm just not blindly patriotic.

I always base my judgements on morals rather than nationalism.

 

Afraid not, I was born in England, so I'm just as English as you.

Then again you probably subscribe to the late Bernard Mannings racist theory:

"If a dog is born in a barn doesn't make him a horse"
