In John Nash's case it was paranoid schizophrenia, which caused him to have delusions of grandeur and exhibit odd behaviour. Sadly, as with many geniuses, it seems a narrow dividing line between great creativity and madness. |

He refused to wear anything other than wool socks at the time as I recall, because he hated the nylon ones. Hence, at both Everton and Leeds his white socks / stockings were always a little less white. He certainly shone in the field though, leaving Everton too soon. Also, this week has seen the demise of Andy King the chirpy Londoner who played so well for Everton, scoring a fine goal against Liverpool once when I was away on business in London. Bad timing by me! Cheers Gentlemen, and thank you both. |
