I went that game in 79, it cost us a fortune to stage, but for the love of me, i can't recall the reason. Will have to dig out the programme.

It was part of a game arranged as Ajax wanted to swap Johann Cryuff for Neil Whatmore. The deal fell through due to Whatmore enjoying Scamps too much.

Whitestar Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Remember going to old Trafford when Whatmore & Worthington both were at Birmingham city. Can't remember the score, might have been a bore draw, think worthy got injured early on and Nellie didn't even get on the pitch. However, a quick glance around the Stretford end and you could clock loads of White's giving each other a cheeky insider sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestar Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 One of Best bits of TV in the early 80s was Friday night kick off with elton welsby (homosexual) . Was when Whatmore & Worthington were both at brum, they were playing utd the following day. Kick off closed the show with clips of loads of their goals to the sound track of " boys are back in town". TV gold, searched high & low for footage of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the scoreboard end that day, saw Dennis from L/H, Frankie scored a pen to make 1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a BWFC convert at that time, I was just a football fan, and the neighbours asked me about 6pm did I fancy going to watch Ajax? I'm fairly sure nobody's said that to me since, and nobody ever will again. 13th Aug 1979. I remember it absolutely lashing down, there was about 7,000 on, glamorous it wasnt. Lost 3-1 I think. Soren Lerby played for them, what a player. Also Frank Arnesen and Ruud Krol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
