Thanks for this insight into North-east thinking Geoff, even from the other side of the world. I've only been to NZ once, in 1991/2, and I have many happy...

I was chucking out some old papers this week, and found in one back in December a small story about the "Chosen One". It appears that he is being made bankrupt...
I'm old enough to remember those fantastic two seasons when Arthur Rowe's "push and run" game came to the fore. It was actually a reversion to emphasis on the...
Bob there is officially NO standing.however those big,tough guy United fans have decreed that everyone must stand and the police/stewards never do anything...
Wow ! I am afraid I only saw Spurs on black and white grainy TV 's ! I started going in 1960 (with stool to stand on)to Headington United,when we were still...
I seem to recollect that the next team to do the Second/First "double" were Ipswich Town in 1960/61 & 1961/62 managed by Alf Ramsey who played at Tottenham in...
I know it was the 80's,but Oxford won the "old" Division 3,then the "old" Division 2 in consecutive seasons,a great feat for a tiny club,then the Milk Cup...
Was that when "Aldo" was playing at Oxford Mervyn? I always thought he was as close as you could get to a double for Ian Rush. Mind you I think it was Ian ...
... Yes ! Aldo played alongside Billy Hamilton.The defences watched the "wrong one" very often. Can I announce here folks a testimonial of an "old" player ? ...
That was another part of the culture divide, I always thought players with double-barrelled names got a bit of stick for having a "snooty" name. There never...
Peter RB probably broke some of the ice with "double" names,with a natioally known club.Indeed the best central defender in a thirty mile radius around...
Did he play when they had named shirts Bill? I pity the poor fan who had to fork out for that name on the back!! I wonder how much Vennegor of Hesselink...
Don't think F P-M did play in the named shirt era. I believe V of H is a double barrelled name rather than he is V from H if you get my drift. On the name...
Leo Fortune-West and the guy at Lincoln Gary Taylor-Fletcher who has only just become double barrelled after getting married ... From: Bob Dunning To:...
We've all forgot the 2 Wright-Phillips ... From: Bob Dunning To: sixtiesandseventiessoccer@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 1:46 PM Subject:...
Isn't there a Spencer Weir-Daley at Nottingham Forest? Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, Leo Fortune-West and Ian Storey-Moore are three more that spring to mind, Stuart....
I should have remembered Leo Fortune-West, he had a spell at Brentford I think a few seasons ago. Interesting that it was one of the Allen clan, was it Paul...
Ho,ho, Forbes Ernest Phillipson-Masters(bim-bim-bim) sounds like a Monty Python Looney Party candidate, a name like that in football circles must have been...
I thought that Bob but thought it was a bit un-PC to say it! I forgot, incidentally, another playing yesterday (and scoring) for your arch-rivals Sheffield...
Being an ardent English soccer fan since the late sixties, I would like to greet everyone at this great group I just discovered and joined Following soccer...
On Monday, March 19, 2007 8:00 PM [GMT+1=CET], ... One of them wasn't even a goalkeeper - David Webb was selected in goal for the game against Ipswich...
Dear Bob, full marks for davie Webb! That was the harder of the two, but also the one sticking to meory. If mine seves me right, it was Boxing Day at home to...
Dear all I hope we all stick to British football and not include Brazilian stars from the '70s, for there may well be more barrels than a shotgun ever held! ...
On Monday, March 19, 2007 8:42 PM [GMT+1=CET], ... I seem to remember that he kept goal for the remainder of the previous game after Bonetti was injured. Was...
Dear Bob Full marks now. Steve Sherwood it was, debut 1-1-1972. Yes, he did play for Chelsea, and a few more times later, at a very young age Correct about...
As I watched all these games-and I only include official games played by British sides on Greek soil-here is a chance to stretch your memory, dear friends Q1...
