  • Dunno but l will remember that Blackburn lass in a black fur coat who got hit square on with a meat&potato pie forever. It was like a laser guided exocet missile right in to her solar plexus.

Noel Brotherston used to get stick year after year in Bolton v Blackburn derby games: "Yer just a bald headed bastard" 

Leighton James got stick everywhere he played and usually took the bait. Happened v Bolton a few times. 

Another winger who got baited and wound up by Bolton/opposition fans: Terry Curran.

Aye.

Rioch going absolutely spare on the touchline. It's not just an Evatt thing.

Who was that dirty bastard who played for Chelsea late 70s early 80s I think. He was there captain,played in defence.Played for them when they charged burden paddock when they got on the pitch and he stood there egging them on

Crouch getting called 'Freeeeakkk' everytime he touched ball will always make me laugh though. 

Think that was first started for Ian Ormandroyd, always felt a bit sorry for him.

This is the link for Lawro’s ‘tache  and us. He’s a Nobender through and through and always disliked us.

Met him a few times when his sister was landlady of my local, around the same time as the tache thing - which might explain why it's more significant in my mind than it was in reality.  He was a proper miserable bastard.

Micky Droy?

It was Droy.

Built on the Allardyce scale.

I was thinking Ron Harris but not sure if he was still playing for them in 83. Micky Droy was. We spent 90 minutes launching the ball up to Simon Rudge,no idea why that didn't work! 

As said upthread- Chandler's return was a shocker. It was as if the crowd held him responsible for the crap tribunal fee we got off Derby.

Lumping long balls up to Simon Rudge. The amount of times that happened. It was truly unbelievable. 

I remember pies being lobbed over the Manny Road North fence at Chandler as he took a throw. Pretty sure he had to be subbed that day because of the abuse. Steve McLaren would have been playing for Derby then as well. 

Played against Rudge when he was running a team in Warrington Sunday league. He was about 5’4” and not very good

Was there the first time we came across him  at QPR away, 2000ish

Along with Iain Dowie warming up on touch line 

So lots of appearance based abuse went their way

Seem to recall Dowie came on for Crouch and that's when it peaked 

Away at Forest... Collymore's big return after injury in the second arf... Brownie got him sent off within 10 minutes... all chanting "Where's your Stanley Gone?"

Remember "Bully" used to get some stick as well 

I recall a visiting Goalie eating a pie during play, cheeky bastard... Watford?

Think Stan had scored and set one up in that time - found link scored but no assist

He had one over us did collymore. Rinsed us for Southend, twice for Forest and then for Liverpool. 

Remember him cupping his ear in front of the Burnden paddock.

Think we got our own back watching Andy Todd smash his face in mind.

That's it... came on late, scored and then got sent off for "smacking" Phil Brown (who made a meal of it as always)... thought it was draw in the end  but a long time ago and I've slept a good few times since

Redfern... bastard could be out with two broken legs but would always make the Barnsley team sheet and score... he had unfinished business with BWFC after we released him

We sold him after he and his dad fell out with the club didn't we? Not sure what it was about but they were very bitter. Tony Caldwell flattened him when we first came up against him at Lincoln.

Redfern scored against us at Burnden in our Div 3 relegation season of 87. Doncaster was it? Virtually sealed our place in the playoffs to decide if relegated or not. 

Celebrated as though he'd scored the winner in the WC. Thought he was a right twat even as a fresh faced 13 yo. 

 

panto villain suggests somewhat of audience appreciation-

 

who didnt stand up regardless of whether they'd shagged posh spice? i mean... i dont want to confirm or deny any rumours; but i stood up

Maybe donny, maybe lincoln?
