Once many years ago on what was to eventually turn out to be The Wham Stadium, I heard the expression...' Punce 'im in t'stooans ' emanating from one of the Stanley stalwarts there who shall be nameless !. ( Sorry Sherry and AccyMad for the vulgar allusion !).
It seemed to me at the time that 'punce' was the only expression powerful enough to use in that situation, leaving 'kick' far behind !.
'PUNCE'....an excellent, if seldom used, 'lanky' word ?.
