Seeing as Schmeichel junior plays for Coventry I think, I would have nominated Kevin phillips as one to have beaten both father and son. Are there any Sky Blue...
The Stepney saga was part of Dochertys 'discipline' drive. He offloaded several first team players after an away game late drinking incident. I believe...
... offloaded ... incident. I don't recall a mass clearout at Chelsea around this time? I know Albert Murray, Barry Bridges, and George Graham all went around...
My own internal hard drive is a bit shaky after such a long time but I know Graham (an inspired cheap purchase from Villa reserves) was exchanged for Tommy...
Wasn't that the night out in Blackpool saga, didn't Osgood get involved or is my memory mixing things up circa 1966? I think Blackpool were relegated then so...
Yes Bridges went to Birmingham and then on to Palace, but not for long. I think Murray went to Brum too. Graham was swapped for somebody at Arsenal, was it ...
Sorry I should have opened the following emails, it was Tommy Baldwin. My link with Baldwin is that after he divorced his wife to hitch up (I think) to...
Mention of him got me thinking about his speed. Certainly be recalled by any seeing him at Chelsea or Millwall, never did see him play for Brum but his age by...
... It certainly was. But that wasn't the only swifty Arsenal were able to pull on a fellow London club. I often wonder what possessed Spurs to exchange Jimmy...
Yes Malc by the time Bridges got to Palace his peed edge had long gone. One player who undoubtedly WAS quick for Palace ws Don Rogers but here again he was...
You have to say that the Baldwin/Graham swap actually worked out for both clubs. Tommy was not the sort of player that would have flourished at Highbury, and ...
Yes Rogers/Colleymore/Hillaire all capable of great things. I saw Colleymore at Southend - he was so much better than everyone else, and later (on TV) where...
From what I remember of that swap, one was an energic trier the other pure class. Bertie got the class. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Sorry to come in late !! I refereed Don Rogers who spent his peak at S****on...only left when passed his best (really,Palace fans,I saw him for nearly 20...
Thanks Malc, the player who reminded me most in style of Don Rogers at his best recently has been Darren Huckerby. I saw him in 1998 in Palace's brief and...
When I saw Swindon play a Cup game at Headington in 1969(I think) Rogers was booed every time he got anywhere near the ball. I don't remember even a Palace...
It is true that he was the most hated man in Oxfordshire.People forget about the LONG animosity between us and S*****n.I saw him stand on the ball and fall...
The man was an absolute legend at Palace. I will never ever forget the day he took Man U apart. Including one goal when he literally waltzed through half there...
Yes Terry that goal, much shown on TV, was reckoned to be the "Goal of the Century" at Palace alongside Yogi Hughes' effort two or three years earlier, both...
Don Rogers was in the England Youth team that won everything in the 60's with people like Johnny Sissons (W.Ham).Home-town boy.We had Joey Beauchamp (mentioned...
Funny you should mention Dexter Blackstock Mervyn, he is one of those names that just seem to fit people, any clue where the "Dexter" came from? I take it he...
Chris Kelly..yes..beat me to it.Dexter Blackstock scored again yesterday.I was told to-day that ex pro Richard Hill is playing Sunday League (Upper Thames...
Has anyone noticed that up until Alf Ramsey took over as England manager, the English League teams were made up of players from other home nations, whereas...
I'm not ashamed of being kind to Leicester fans, Bob, not after the 1995/6 play-off Final!! Just mention Claridge's Knee to any Palace fan and they will wince!...
