...great." It's almost hard to imagine a player today saying "golly," unless he said something like, "golly, I really think I'm worth 1.5 million a year," or, "golly, forget the team, I just hope I play well." Strange stories of great players with phenomenal names like Addie Joss.

The old knight is as nimble of wit as his belly is full of sack, a braggart, a liar, a thief, a cynic and a coward, but with all that an irresistibly endearing tub of bubbling jollity. Early on, Falstaff (Joss Ackland) chides the heir apparent Prince Hal (Gerard Murphy), who has made the Boar's Head Tavern his home away from the castle, for leading him into evil ways...
...debate about Coolidge will go on.
