Mounts Kipper Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Poor Performance by wolves at least when we lost at this stage it was our reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played Everton and the game was abandoned at half-time. Where the fuck have I got that from? 🤔 You're completely right, definitely Christmas 78 or New Years Day 79. Yes Barnsley was nearly 3 years later, a 2nd terrible injury. He talks at length about it in his book, how he feared his career was over when George Wood did him.

I was at both games, was Barnsley broken leg or ACL? As can’t remember for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 and though it won't appear in official records as the game was called off, I remember the papers next day quoting an attendance of 33k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely New Year's Day. I'd forgotten that he played for is until 1982 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless my memory is deceiving me, I distinctly remember Williams' home debut. Norwich City and we won 2-0 in a monsoon I recall. Williams scored a cracker from a fair way out which aquaplaned into the bottom corner at the Lever End end. At that moment, I thought we'd signed a superstar. Remember his sports store opposite Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it him or Ralph Wright you could drive a motor bike through his legs? Properly bow legged. Seem to remember it was Curran. Pretty sure he played when we had the all white strip with the red numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Reidy returned from the injury we got a measly 60k and ended up paying 70k for Wharton. Just about sums our luck up. Peter Reid was still in his nappies when Terry Wharton was playing for us, 1968-70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We changed to white shirts blue shorts for the 1971/72 season, when we was relegated to the old division three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of 1960s centre forwards, I noticed from the BN obituaries this week that Ernie Phythian had passed away, in South Africa.
