  1. Ta for that
  2. Yeah but the trail then goes cold
  3. played in "that" game exactly 16 years ago today, but where is he now - he has disappeared. Anyone know? Someone reckons he is living in a caravan in Souness's back garden. I remember being on the pitch prior to the Leeds game helping film an award to MLT and watching him (Dia) kick a ball about as they did in those days. He did not look right then and later when he came on, despite nearly scoring, he looked like the proverbial fish out of water. Still can't believe it happened. Would love to hear his side of the story but someone has got to find him first.
  4. 1. Boruc 2. Gazzaniga 3. Davis
  5. David Connolly is still without a club?
  6. Just finished all the building work on his new place in C Ford too - the nefarious life of a footballer!
  7. Info wrong we are going to share with HCC at Northlands Rd - Keep up! Freemantle wanted to gound share but we refused.
  8. Trouble is Vectis I don't think Ron can face coming over now - he is very set in his lifestyle such as it is.
  9. Interesting revisiting this. I don't think the club are sending anyone to Eric Day's funeral tomorrow. David Bull usually goes of his own accord and expense and is going (he went all the way to Lancs recently for Eddie Brown's). I don't think it is too much to ask for the club to at least send a card or some flowers.
  10. I have a 90 seconds colour film footage of Leeds v Saints in 1948 which features Wayman - I bought it from a private amateur collection
  11. I don't think it was too sinister Trousers, just a case that he wasn't prepared to play it the NC way - two egos and all that. NA is, shall we say, more diplomatic
  12. I am assuming it is going to be positive (and so it should be, despite the fact he crossed swords with Cortese and subsequently took a bullet). However what ex-managers, still (potentially) involved in football would not get a warm welcome? Obviously Redknapp and Hoddle and I guess Burley would hardly get the Northam singing their praises but I think David Jones, Dave Merrington, Stuart Gray, Gordon Strachan, Paul Sturrock, Graeme Souness, Nigel Pearson and Steve Wigley would. Ian Branfoot? No probably he would get booed should he ever show his face and I guess the red carpet would not be laid out for Jan Poorvilet and Mark Wotte. Lawrie Mac? Actually I don't think I would go there, for he is a man who polarises like no other in our history. Personally I think his pluses just outweigh his negatives and his legacy of 76 at Wembley deserves respect. And let's not forget his successor, Chris Nicholl - a popular guy but a negative manager (according to Channon). So are you going to welcome Pardew, despite the fact he fell foul of NC?
  13. I am still a bit mystified why the Courts can seemingly impose a compulsory purchase order on Farton Park. Surely if Chanrai owns it he should be able to decide a) whether he wishes to sell and b) the price or am I missing something?
  14. I only have one agenda and that is to find out who "Once Bitterne" is as I have a feeling "he" is my ex-wife.
  15. 'You could at least get the bloke's name right - he's been at SMS long enough. Davis unfortunately is not Premiership class and Adkins knows it.
  16. Wasn't there today but I have felt all along while Gazza is v promising, it is too big a step to introduce a 20 year old in to the Premiership with a club having its first season there. Boruc needs a kick up the arse, and he need to get fit because I feel he will be needed. It was interesting that NA obviously agreed too after dropping Gazzaniga after just a few games.
  17. Two words: show pony!
  18. Thanks I will soon be benefitting from your monthly fiver!
  19. Yea I see John in my local Waitrose most weeks and of course he is a ST holder at SMS.
  20. Someone who raises a lot more for charity then you probably do HTH
  21. I am sure Neil Allen is just a lad on his work experience week who his school forgot to recall
  22. Yes indeed he was - a great character Bryn
  23. Like that: Steve thanks for that link - all skates should read it and then start fretting http://lucymcarmichael.blog.com/2012/11/13/does-the-hope-of-portsmouth-fans-rest-on-a-supreme-tower-of-avoidance/
  24. I am just waiting for Appy's biography no doubt ghosted by none other than Neil Allen. I wonder what he will call it - "To hell and back"
  25. Bryn came slightly later, debuting at Tottenham in February 1950 in front of a crowd of 70,302
