DavidLeesMullet Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Have a 1980-esque long sleeve Bolton home shirt from Toffs and the ONLY name and number I wanted on it was Number 10 and Worthington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidLeesMullet Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Worthington DID play in the 1979/80 season and at number 10. So technically I'm still right. Nice try numb nuts!!! By the way I said 1980-ESQUE, the shirt I was referring to was being used from the late 70s to the early 80s until sponsorship came in (Knight Security, B.E.N., T.S.B. etc) So jog on, and go and troll somebody else.

Tape down the middle of the Embankment to provide a buffer between the home half and the away half ... a one season only phenomenon I think.

That was one of the 7 or 8 games I was at that season, I just remember being impressed by the orange Luton kit and the blond Futcher twins.

Yes I remember that aspect too - Luton's strip. The 77/78 season was the first I remember properly even though I was being taken before. It was just because we started going in the stand and I could actually see what was happening! If I missed a home game that year they were few and far between. A handful of aways too!

Farnywhite Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Big match itv 4 yesterday Leicester were on against Ipswich away with Frank scoring a peach of a volley. Every time I catch the program flicking through Leicester seem to be on the program and Frank scores one . They must of been on most weeks with Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had a thing for 70s football kits, there were some crackers like Palace's away kit of a white shirt with a red and blue sash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 What I think puts Frank apart from most strikers was that apart from most of is goals being special was that he scored bags of them . Unlike say a Ian rush or a lineker with there 10 yard tap ins . Closest I would put to him would be Matt le tissier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest I would put to him would be Matt le tissier I seem to remember Marco Gabbiadini could knock a few classics in too, though I don't remember him scoring that many. Worthington's strike rate for us was pretty good something like 38 goals in 92 appearences so about 1 in 2 1/2.

I remember buying the Norwich Umbro shirt from an advert in Shoot magazine. Wearing a football kit in those days wasn't taken as allegiance to that club, it was just something impressive to wear for playing footie on the park instead of the usual t-shirts. The West Ham and Coventry shirts were great too, in fact they all were! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Remember gabbiadini scoring shit loads at Sunderland but think that was in the 3 rd tier .

They must of been on most weeks with Chelsea Big Match series is great viewing, I love the fact that they show "highlights" but still show loads of moves that come to nothing, or goal kicks and the like. They had to fill about half an hour with the main game and some of them were awful. If there's a 20 yard shot that pea rolls to the keeper Brian Moore makes it sound like a really exciting near miss! Its worth watching just for the interviews, some of the players appear to be so disinterested and gormless, no media training in them days. Ron Futcher the other week in the studio was a classic, just didnt want to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly...the one I'm thinking of had 2 racing blue & white stripes, one on each side. It carried on down the shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
