embankment Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Last minute winner against Tottenham in the Championship season 77/78 shown on Match of the Day.Remember that match.Was stood right behind the goal.On the Embankment. Had a few scoops on the way home,asked me mum to wake me up when MOTD came on. ,next day she said she couldn't wake me. To this day I have never seen the goal. He smashed it in from all of 6 yards. Ground went effin mental. Quote
Salford Trotter Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) I grew up as a teenager on the Burnden Terrace and I'd doubt there was a Wanderers' player that was. more committed to the cause than Roy... Good luck Roy you're a fighter so stay true Edited July 7, 2013 by Salford Trotter Quote

freds dad Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Here's a couple of Roy's against Oldham to keep you going. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=FwV1nrgP5uc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFwV1nrgP5uc Edited July 7, 2013 by freds dad Quote
COYW Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 There's loads of Spurs footage from the 1977/78 season on YouTube. It's strange seeing them playing the likes of Mansfield, Bristol Rovers and Orient in league games. We played them four times that season. The attendance for the league game at White Hart Lane was over 50,000. Quote

Interesting to see he played over 100 times for us and very surprisingly for what looks like a good attacking wide man only scored 2 goals for us?! The penalties; keepers would save those these days.... Quote

Two players scored hat tricks, one unbelievably being Ian Moores. Quote

That the one Peter Taylor scored five? Hope Greavsie gets well soon. One who deserves the 'legend' status for us. Quote

Members bolty58 Posted July 7, 2013 Members Posted July 7, 2013 Me too Boby. Greavo at his best. They used to say that he was such a tough bastard that if he ever went down and didn't get straight back up, he was seriously hurt. He'll beat this for that reason. Come on Greavo. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 That the one Peter Taylor scored five? Hope Greavsie gets well soon. One who deserves the 'legend' status for us. Was it not Moores and colin lee who scored the 9. Quote
COYW Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Was it not Moores and colin lee who scored the 9. Colin Lee scored four. Ian Moores scored three. Peter Taylor and Glenn Hoddle scored one each. Spurs went up on goal difference that season. Quote

Thompson was a top class winger when he came to Bolton his knees had gone but such was his ability he was still brilliant for us for a couple of years a real Rolls Royce of a player. Quote
