anthill mob top boys were by the camera calling for riochs sacking

Apologies if this has been covered before but I hadn't seen it,

 

Excellent to see Dave Higson getting the recognition that he deserved!

 

Also good coverage of Shrewsbury away first game of the season, I fairly enjoyed that day out.

Some brilliant footage there. Our travelling support was pretty impressive back then.

Was in Florida for that Shrews match. Ended up phoning up club call (remember that?) from Port Charlotte for the score. Celebrating goals like that are a fing of the past now - I feel sorry todays fans.

 

The second game on that clip was Lincoln City away int Cup. Live on the telly Saturday night - hands up them who went.

My dog, Frank, well she died last week and the kids want another. After watching this it's getting the name McGinlay. He was sommat special to us, and no mistake.

Someone mentioned earlier about our away support on a lot of these videos, it looks like we took loads all over the place. There's one on our season review from about 1993/94 where we drew 3-3 at Grimsby and people kept going on the pitch, thousands of us there!

Was the first game of the season, I remember a lad going onto the pitch when the teams were warming up, running the length of the pitch with a ball and hammering into the top corner, then ran back to our end to tremendous cheers and back into the crowd, nowadays he would have been tazered by the time he got to the half way line and be banned from football grounds for life.

 

It was a totally different atmosphere and experience watching wanderers then... but then again, it might just be me getting old.

 

 

edit to say.... I'm having 2nd thoughts about that incident... it may have been at Port Vale a couple of seasons later.
