Terrible news. Is it me, or are people dying younger these days. Watched Paul many, many times in the late seventies and early eighties. Always a reliable pair of hands. Rest in peace Paul. You will be sadly missed.
Ha ha. Great story VP.
I could be found in that 'Club Shop' on the NB car park before the game on most Saturdays, usually buying programs for matches I had missed. I hadn't realised how small it was!!
Chelsea must have tried this more than once then. I remember watching a group of Chelsea fans running under the street lights down the Waterloo Road towards the North Bank and clearly recall standing on the pitch with the floodlights beaming down.
Looking at the fixture list, could it have...
Wow, that footage of the old North Bank brings back some memories.
First match I saw was in that stand sometime during the 1975-76 season. Not a clue who we were playing, but I do recall that Willie Carr was strangely off form that day! I was also there the night Chelsea tried to take the...
I'm holding my hands up....I thought we would get battered, but I'm very, very glad to be proved wrong!
What a performance! The difference in attitude, body language and the demeanor of our players compared to previous games was unbelievable. Full credit to Gary, he got his tactics absolutely...
Hate to say it about a team I have supported since 1975, but I really fear for us this weekend.
I have prepared myself for something like 0-6, but I genuinely think it could be even worse. I pray that I'm wrong.
I don't think the current state of our club has come as a surprise to many of us.
The good news is that we still have time this season to do something about it. I can remember the feelings of excitement and expectation last Christmas before Lop took charge. We were bottom of the league then...
I lived in a small village just outside Stafford about 20 years ago, and Tony could be found in a pub called 'The Bell', enjoying a pint and sharing his wisdom most Friday nights if he wasn't working. Good times.
RIP Tony.
I've just looked at the eBay site for the autographed picture.....four hours remaining and still £7900, but I noticed something..
In the description, its clearly labelled as being Number 41 of a run of 50. So its not a one off. Nearly eight grand for a PRINTi seems extortionate for any club...
Must have been the late 1970's. Mine were made by Gola. I remember they came with a bright orange plastic 'spanner' to tighten the studs up. Seems like a very long time ago when you see todays 'boots'.
Not sure if this point has been made before, but surely when we were looking for a new defender to bring into the club last closed season, the one place NOT to look was a team who had just been relegated from the very same league we were playing in. If Collins had been doing his job correctly...
I think it will be a better performance from us than many expect, but not good enough to get anything from this game, especially now Manchester City have dropped three points against Brentford.
Arsenal have the chance to open a bit of a gap at the top between them and the rest, just at the...
