Widely thought by many as the best right back to never play for his country, John Humphrey will be joining us in the studio to record an interview on the evening of the Palace game, any burning questions you want us to put to him?
Does he feel it was because he was playing for us and not a big club that he never got picked and did he ever get the opportunity for a move to a bigger club?*
*it was this which largely caused me to lose any interest in following the national team.
Did you really wear our shirt under that stripey thing?? ;-)
A class act and fully agree about the best right back never to play for his country. Loved watching his runs down wing and just a very, very talented footballer.
Has he ever considered following in Gary Nelson's boot steps by writing a book: 'Right Foot Forward' perhaps. Followad by 'Right Foot in the Grave' to relate his time at Palace?
Ask him about Lennie only offering Wolves £10k at first...and getting him for £40K (brilliant business even though Wolves were skint at the time).
Ask him about his teaching career. He's done incredibly well since he joined Whitgift School as a football coach with Patesy and Steve Kember. The last time I heard, he was teaching at Highgate School.
He's a great lad and his off field persona couldn't have been more different to his tunnel vision on the field.
Did he have a superior fitness level compared to his team mates? It did seem that way. The number of times he ran the right wing at great pace during a game was quite incredible.

My apologies in advance to the Forum Police if this has been posted previously....
If he was a wealthy benefactor, which single player would he buy for us?
Was it frustrating having your normally excellent over-lapping runs blocked by Milne's gigantic arse?
Are you sure there is no EU conspiracy here though Len......:)
Did you enjoy appearing in Are You Being Served?
Thanks H

Did Lennie or the English Manager ever mentioned that He was being watched ?
