hope some others on here had the pleasure of his company at Wembley......what a guy, he was sat at the side of me in his original 1977 number 8 umbro shirt,(most ex players would want to be in some swishy executive club in a fancy suit) his son and grandson both had their faces painted in Wanderers colours...absolute class from one of our all time greats, he is still living in Mansfield and working for the water board, remember seeing him at Cardiff both times, and lots of home games over the years...a Wanderer for life

Remember going to Swansea for a league cup tie and all the prisoners were shouting then. We drew 1-1 and I think it was a Whatmore equiliser; stuffed them in the replay at Burnden

 

Also remember the Friday night game when we beat the scum 3-0 and I think he bagged a brace then as well with Frankie hitting the other. Great night in my local at Daubhill after.

funny how the mind works; I don't recall Whatmore scoring in that game

he didn't

From memory sure worthy got 2.

2-1 Cant remember who got the goals though

 

Big following that night and we watched the highlights of the Manure vs Everton quarter on the way home

Didnt Neil Whatmore play in all four divisions for us which was some kind of record at the time ? Anyone ?

He came on loan (for a third time) in 1987 but didn't play so he cannot have played for us in the 4th Division.

 

BTW Sean Davis played for Fulham in all 4 divisions, there can't be many more who have done it.

No it was franky 2 and gowling the other

Who were we playing when a back pass got stuck in the mud and Whatmore was the first to react and scored.

bristol city on a sunday?

 

probably not

 

he scored a stunner against plymouth

 

he was running towards the lever end and the ball from midfield was a little short and was bouncing behind him

 

he managed to backheel the ball from behind him over his head and past a couple of defenders towards goal

 

into teh box, beat a couple more, took his time, a bit like that okocha one in germany, before putting it away

Ian Ashbee for Hull. And he's in an even smaller minority in that he captained them in all four divisions as well
