Had our fair share of balls that came over the wall and didn’t find their way back to the club! (My fault we nearly went bust) Used to play on Bromwich St myself. My great aunt lived on the street and her garden backed onto the training pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the game in which Frank scored a goal that he always reckoned was better than his famous one at home to Ipswich. At some point I will go through 80/81 to 84/5 and list what is on You Tube. From 85/6 onwards the amount of footage increases significantly so that's less relevant. My cousin was at that match was working in the smoke but he was a red, think it was a long shot from near half way line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Reading the bit about Spurs away in 95, I couldn't remember our goals. So here they are at 46.00 mins in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Ace that. A lot to digest. Really dont remember Ronny Rosenthael or however you spell it playing for them. Or Ruel Fox for that matter.

Great footage, forgot how good Scott Green’s goal was. Chuffed for the lad. Was his first goal for us in the 1-0 win over Bristol City when they wrecked the back of the paddock?

I used to think Fox was one of the best players I'd ever seen when he'd be on MOTD just legging it everywhere for Spurs and Newcastle! Only thing I remember Rosenthal doing at spurs was scoring 4 (?) At Southampton but only because it was a live fa cup game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson (I’d discounted him as I’ve zero recollection of him being on the 92/93 highlights!) ✔️ Davison signed summer of 93 so is a no. Could have Jimmy Phillips too I suppose albeit he’d played in the third tier in the 80s rather than under Rioch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on that Howcroft coach to Spurs. I think it was nearly xmas & we'd lost every away game up to then, so when we came back from 2 down, the celebrations were very,very exuberant but the Spurs lot weren't at all happy & soon as we got outside, we had to keep a very low profile......iirc a small group had gone in fancy dress & one or two of them got lamped on the way back to the coach.
