Frank Saul lived just down the road from us. My Mum used to think he would be better employed as a ballet dancer than a footballer. Does anyone remember the 4-4 boxing day game at White Hart Lane in the early eighties?. Archibald & Crookes up front for them. I think we came back from 2-0 and 4-2 down, with Moran & Wallace scoring 2 each?

What about Giggsy, as Player/ Manager, or even Player/ Manager /Owner? He's nearing the end of his career, probably doesn't have to worry about money, & still fit/ fast/ smart enough to avoid lower league cloggers. Many of Fergie's former players appear to do well managing in the lower leagues - Ince, Keane, Robson, Maclaren. They're all sh*t in the Premier league though. But We won't have to worry about that for a while.

Injury 1. Bloke in front of me was hit bit a squeezy sauce bottle thrown from the Brighton fans at an away game in the '80's. ****ing thing discharged tomato sauce all over me. My mate Owen thought it was blood, but when he realised it was sauce, he fell about laughing. I, on the other hand, had to spend the rest of the day (match, train, pub, that night club in Eastleigh) stinking of the stuff. I have never touched tomato sauce since. Injury 2. Stopped in a pub on the way home from Coventry, (lost 1-0 i think, maybe the first game of the season?). Pistols came on the juke box, so I jumped on the table to dance & realised the ceiling was only 6.5 feet from the ground. Dented head, double vision & massive headache next day. Happy days !

My first game - 1-1 vs Leeds at home (early 70's?) First defeat 0-1 vs Forest, Ian Storey Moore scored 5-0 win over Chelsea 0-8 at Everton 0-4 at Birmingham (Ballie sent off) '76 FA Cup, 79 league cup run, ZDS cup, 2nd in '82(?) 3-3 at Forest, football special Hit by sauce bottle at Brighton Nick Holmes' chip vs Watford Williams screamer in a 3-1 win over West Ham MLT hat trick vs Liverpool MLT free kick vs Wimbledon Taking my Girlfriend to her first game, our first back in the top flight (Bolton 2-2?) Getting back together with same after evening match against Arsenal My last game - 1-3 at home to Oldham, Benali OG 6-3 vs ManU on World Service Radio Unable to sleep on Saturday nights My next game, September 2009 SFC, I love you, please don't die.

Apologies for my previous thread. I'm covering old ground - went to bed, got back up, forgot the time difference. I'm coming home in September after 16 years away & I just want to go see my team again. (last game 1-3 at home to Oldham, Benali scored a screamer of an OG).

Read the 'appeal' on OS. They (Crouch, Richards) appear to be asking for cash handouts. Administration is a disaster, but not a natural disaster like the recent bushfires in my backyard. I want something for my money - i want to guarantee administration won't happen again. The trust plans described on this thread appear to me to be far more palatable in that we're getting some kind of democratic process and each of us become small owners with the related ownership rights (agm, voting, etc) & we, like minded people can therefore avoid any further Lowe-type fiasco's that threaten to drive 'our' club out of business. However, We need to act fast otherwise the appeal will take money that could otherwise be used by the trust. Who's going to do it?, who's going to stand up & be counted?, Keith?, Illingsworth? (he's always been a true die hard fan whatever people's personal opinions of him). Someone - please ????
