I've recently been writing about my first experience of watching Boro play in 1974. See below for an extract from my book. February 23rd 1974 was a significant...
Thanks for that Alister. A good piece. I echo your points regarding the names of the leagues & also the shirt numbers , names & sponsors. I started watching...
great post,thanks a lot ! my sentiments to a tee..........what about Bosco Jankovic by the way ? Â Bill ... From: Alister Baldwin <balders1864@...> ...
Great post from Alister Baldwin! Went to Ayresome Park in 1993-at the home end, standing-toilet facility was just as described! But the Boro side was far...
Thanks for your comments.. I've been a member of this e-mail group for a couple of years now and that's only about the third thing I've posted. There might...
I don't know if you've ever read Eamonn Dunphy's "It's only a Game" but this book is based on this season. He has a lot of good things to say about that Boro...
I quoted from the book in my dissertation in 1989/90 ! Interesting book and an insight into the hopes and fears of a player in "the stiffs".I lent my copy to...
Well after waiting about two months for this through the library, it turned up this afternoon. Haven't had much of chance to read it but there look like a load...
That was really some team. I'm no Boro fan but I could probably name it too. I'm a Leeds fan and follow Big Jack's team really closely once he left us, I look...
Well until I start up the 70-71 site again some time in the future, one thing I will miss is getting the occasional free copy of this and that. 'The Bromley...
Well what do you know! I'm genuinely curious as to what reception Shaun Derry will get, I think Dennis Wise fell out with him, but Leeds fans hate Dennis Wise,...
Yes it is an interesting draw Bob. I went to see the Freedman testimonial and although many of the invited players who spoke in tribute of Dougie seemed to...
Sadly I can't go, but even Leeds fielded a reserve team virtually last season. It was when we found out that we had no depth in the squad! Not that many 3rd...
Who did you field on Saturday then, Bob? About the last result I expected to see, losing at home 2-0 against Oldham! Palace didn't do any better, the knives...
At that time I was reffing South-East Counties games and similar.I was also writing a dissertation on "Education and Training in Professional Football,with a...
Brian Horton used to get terrible stick at Palace, he upset quite a few when he came down to Selhurst with Port Vale, [that was when they played in those silly...
I see cuddly Ken has said that there is no way they will sign Freedman, who he obviously got to know well when he was there - he described him as a good east...
Bob, I assume Ferdindand and Smith wouldn't get much of a welcome if they ever turned up at Elland Road again. What's the history between you and Man Utd. Is...
Hi Mervyn, in those days I always took an interest in the Croydon team then, known as Croydon Amateurs. They were in the Spartan League at that time. For...
Bit like a Northern later version of Alan Mullery then, Terry! I think venom would be too soft for what Palace gave "Mullers", all aspects of his life...
I have to tell you chaps that I was at a referee seminar on Sunday and there was a mock commission,to show young referees what the procedure was.Who was the...
Of course he lost, the ref is always right, even when he is wrong ! As my instructor proved when I took my refs badge many moons ago. Though to be honest I...
We don't seem to have the "character" referees now either. Who was the big fat jolly one, Roger.... was it? I always thought the best ref job I ever...
This is the man from those those days,I remember him too as well as eg Jim Finney,Norman Burtenshaw,the butcher from Wolverhampton..you know who I mean (!) and...
Roger was now I recollect Fitzpatrick. The essence of a good ref of course is that should be invisible, unless there is some sort of confrontation between the...
Martin Bodenham retired referee is now an umpire on the county circuit.Mark Ramprakash,the best batsman in England by a country mile,posted 178 in the first...
Now,now...proof that cricket people are more intelligent than in football ? Definition ? Ask Wenger or Coppell ?! There are people who communicate/interact...
