Seeing the post about Budgie Byrne reminded me (somehow) of John Ayteo.I saw him in his last season at Bristol City.A very,very good player.I am told if he had...
It is quite possible that last month's choice of book is less well known amongst even this elite bunch. I chose it, you may remember, because one of the...
Thanks for this review Bob. Funnily enough in a bookshop yesterday, I picked up and flicked through, but did not in the end buy, the autobiography of Nobby...
i think most United fans would tell you that Paddy Crerand was man of the match in a close call with the incomparable Denis Law.......................Stiles...
about 3 years ago,coincidentally just after i had read the Nobby Stiles book (i also had the first one Soccer My Battlefield i think it was called) my wife...
HoHo. Well I'm only 42 myself. I didn't even see a First Division match till 1974/5, but I was footaqbll fan from 1970 on. Natrually at 6/7 I was an armchair...
Amusing. I thought I was one of the younger group members but at 43 clearly not! My first game was Middlesbrough v QPR in Sept 1970. Rangers were 2 nil up...
Hi To all Just found this group and have really enjoyed reading some of your messages and looking at the photos, great stuff. I am a Newport County fan myself...
Bob...Ricky played for Oxford,before his "fame" ! Newport County.....I was lino there two or three times when they were in the Southern League (prior to the...
Please check it out first Bob but I think it's true. Bob Brown ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!...
Yes sorry I should have made it clear that Nobby considered his brother-in-law Johnny Giles had won the Final, but apparently he had already fallen out with ...
Hi, Yes I had checked it out and it is the case. One of the best books for finding this sort of connection out is the very original Hugman's "Football League...
I can't believe my review didn't say this, only re-reading it proves it didn't. Sorry about that. When I saw he was an Oxford player I almost emailed you in...
I don't think I ever got around to confirming that this month I is reading Colin Schindler's, 'George Best and 21 Others'. If anyone else has read it, or wants...
I wonder what the record is for losing a lead, I guess 4-0 has been clawed back, but 5? 6? Anyone know? I'm sure I've seen Palace lose from 3-0 up but more?? ...
A brilliant book, though occasionally drifts off into soci-political alleys, which are probably relevant to Mr Schindler but not sure if they were to anyone...
My Dad always went on about Charlton -Huddersfield in the late 50's. Apparantley Charlton were 1 -5 down at home with about 20 minutes to go, were also down to...
I can confirm Tom White was John Whites brother. They were like chalk & cheese as footballers. Bit like the Charlton's. What Tommy lacked in skill he made up...
Leeds managed a 4-3 win away to Southampton just last season, I was watching highlights of it today. It is so great when it happens. I was driving over the...
Good one Terry. The game was on 21st December, 1957 in front of Charlton's 6th lowest in 11 years, due to Xmas shopping, and given that they were 5- 1 down at...
Talk about Karma or something if you believe all that. Whilst my dear departed Dad was enjoying himself watching Charlton perform miracles, his future daughter...
Was this a First Division game? I do think the goalkeeping in the old days was not so good, plus as we agreed people like Tom White could get away with much...
... No it was in the Second Division, and Charlton finished the season 3rd and Huddersfield 9th. In fact, I see Charlton scored 107 goals in the League that...
