A late review of this article (no idea how I missed it at the time) but you have nailed it. I may give it a re-watch (rewatch?) as a salve to the current indignities being perpetrated on the pitch.
Totally agree on your Norwood appraisal, he does seem like a top bloke and very honest. McBurnie has really grown on me, every interview I hear or see of his I am more and more impressed. His 13-year-old-Bradford-schoolboy style of speech belies a clever, funny and genuine adult. Definitely captain material.
Dude. Out-run would be an adjective, like they have been out-run. The title of the doco is a series of imperatives and the only "problem" is that the past participle of to run is the same as the infinitive. The other two verbs don't have the same problem. The title is perfect as it is. As is the doco. :-)

I share the full body itch for the non-hyphenated words! But still, as an inspiration for an unfashionable club, it does work . . .
Absolutely love that shot of Ndiaye’s teammates watching and waiting for his name to be called up for Senegal with a cheeky Fleck peeping around Egan’s shoulder! I really hope Ndiaye appreciates what he’s left behind.
I, too, think we have the makings of a better team now. Against Tottenham, Hamer seemed to be using one or two of the moves Ndiaye was so good at (as well as staying on his feet) and watching the film did bring back memories – some forgotten, some staggering and some stunning.
I still can’t make up my mind about Oli McBurnie. Terribly Marmite. In the beginning I wasn’t very impressed at all, especially with the shenanigans off the pitch. But now I find he’s growing on me a bit more, even though he does have a tendency to be mardy if he doesn’t get as much of the ball as he thinks he should . . . but yes, as strikers go, he’s quite good at being in the right place at the right time.
“The humans behind the footballers” – that’s a very good summing up.
