Thank You Lap

I might be imagining things here but I seem to remember back in the Dell days there was a player that would go round the four sides of the ground thanking the crowd.

 

I know Prutton did it at St.Mary's but this was at the Dell.

 

As I say, I might be imagining it but if not, who was it?

Jos the boss does it for us now.

[kpturner]

Dennis Rofe?

 

Obviously as a coach, not a player.

Did Kachloul do something like this at one stage ?

 

On a different note, Vinnie Jones I think ran round on his own after a Wimbledon game, final match of the season (0-0 when we stayed up, Man City went down) giving high fives to the crowd.

No, not Rofe.

Did John burridge do it?

I think it was Dave McClarren (Goalkeeper), trying to exit the pitch

 

He could never see the ball coming, and he couldn't find his way off the pitch

Specially on 16th September 1965 as a result of shellshock!

As I remember he played a blinder (excuse the pun) that game despite picking the ball out of the net 9 times. He was the only reason they didn't concede 15.

I was at that match

 

If the ball comes at you 100 times during 90 minutes, by the laws of averages, you are bound to get in the way of a few of them

 

Ted Bates was so impressed, he went out and bought McClown, and boy did we suffer after that

 

Ted's worst ever decision IMHO

+1 - I never could understand that one...and I think we paid £5000! This in an era when we bought Big Ron for £55k!

Haha, I didn't say he was a good keeper, just that from my recollections of the game (I was in the Chocolate Boxes) and the Football Echo report give him a good write-up. Back on topic.

 

David Webb used to stand at the player entrance to the pitch and shake all the player's hands as they came off the pitch at the end of the game. As unusual then as it is now.

Err.......On the 16th, McClaren didn't know what was going to happen. On the 18th he didn't know what had happened.

Tim Flowers was always someone I remember as being someone who appreciated the crowd, especialy away, top bloke as well!

[SNOWY]

John Burridge.

I think all players should do it. Afterall, we've travelled to see them, paid their fkin wages, cheered them on, clapped them when theyve done their job, encouraged when theyve been sh!t, the least they could do is give us a little clap after the game FFS

[Stepgar]

David prutton ALWAYS (bar the time he got sent off) came round the ground.
