Let me refresh your memory....FA Cup game and the Wizard of Wales weaved and wormed his way down the left flank to score one of the most glorious goals ever seen in England, then he turned took off his shirt and raced back up the field waving it over his head..need any more reminders?
Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death. Che Guevara.
Wouldn't the quartet be a bigger achievementthan the treble.

The Championship strugglers progressed to the quarter-finals thanks to a stunning first-half 30-yard free-kick from top scorer Freddy Eastwood.
United winger Cristiano Ronaldo was denied by two magnificent saves from Darryl Flahavan as United attacked.
David Jones' drive crashed against the post and Wayne Rooney saw Flahavan expertly tip over his cross-shot.
After Monday's celebrations for United boss Sir Alex Ferguson's 20 years in charge at Old Trafford, the Scot was brought crashing back down to earth.
11,532 had crammed into Roots Hall to see a potential upset and Ferguson picked a strong side in an attempt to prevent the Premiership leaders from slipping up.
Ronaldo and Rooney were included and the England striker went close twice from the edge of the area as he started in lively fashion.
Both chances forced comfortable saves from Flahavan, the second after a magical piece of skill bemused two defenders and won him some space.

He needed to be alert straight after the break as Ronaldo tried his luck from 25 yards, this time Flahavan parrying away a shot straight down his throat.
It was becoming something of a duel and Ronaldo was denied again on the hour mark, a 25-yard free-kick forcing another remarkable save as the ball screamed towards the top corner.
Soon after it was Rooney's turn, his cross-shot from the right hurriedly turned over by Flahavan as it looped goalwards.
Gabriel Heinze then got in on the act, the Argentine's sweet left-foot drive flying inches wide of Flahavan's left-hand post with the keeper - for once - beaten.
Eastwood remained a menace as Southend threatened on the break, but hi
