Wanderers Ways. Neil Thompson 1961-2021

Recommended Posts

Steve Thompson was a quality player & looks it on that clip.

 

A Wanderers legend who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

He stayed too long

 

Another where boo boys got on his back at the end

 

Rather unbelievably considering he was our best "footballer" for years

Was that the time the driver went to the wrong ground or something?    I know it happened once

 

No. That was a saturday game and that coach went to Cambridge City's ground. This one, where Dublin scored, was a night match. 3 coaches went but one must have been driven by a woman.

Steve Thompson was head and shoulders above Redfearn, he was one of the best passers of the ball we have ever had. I remember him having to be sold for money reasons and ended up at a bigger club ( at the time ) who where prepared to pay the transfer fee Luton Town !!.

That whole Luton / Leicester thing was very strange

from the guy who thinks Medo is a world beater. Absolute classic.

 

There's a song by Chumbawamba called 'Amnesia'. I thing you suffer from long term memory loss. You are a clown

Ahhh, thanks for confirming my ever diminishing memory though. I also seem to remember going to Leyton Orient one year and the match being called off as we got to their ground, so quite a few of us went to watch another match in London, can't remember who it was though

my memory is fine

 

i'll put redfearns record on the table against just about any one of our lot from that era

 

not opinion, fact

Begrudging agreement from the East Lancs Branch.

didn't redfearn scored the late winner for doncaster at burnden in 86/87 on a monday night ?

left foot screamer from about 30 yards IIRC.

 

right at the death and totally silenced Burnden Park.  He always did well against us

we had to win at Gillingham the game after which was the last match of the season

 

the days when Tony Cascarino got about 60 goals a season

 

1-0 Cascarino

 

listened to it on the radio..I remember my mate drew this cartoon mockup face of Cascarino after he scored. and pinned it to a dart board to use as target practice

that's the one. we went down to gillingham in a couple of minibuses. got on the pitch at end but so did 1,000's of Gillingham albeit in a celebratory mood.

 

i've never forgiven redfearn for that goal or celebrations. the deathly silence that fell on Burnden and the players faces said it all. the confidence drained out of them
