Looking at it now and with the "end of an era" programme in the bottom let ... That season will live with me forever , not least as it ended in a sportsmans dinner in the Burnden park executive suite with Nat Lofthouse as guest of honour (obviously) and i remember going up to get his autograph at the end of the night as a gangly 24 year old and he said "...eee thanks fo coming cock" ....after that i couldnt get a word out ..... Nat thanked me?!?!?!? for coming to HIS night !!

One of the other things that I remember was that there was a guest speaker ... A naval submarine commander (Arthur Taylor???) that was sooo funny that the professional comedian had to go on first cos he knew he couldnt match him oh and we were all given one of these ...

OK. He's in the 82-83 squad photo but looks like he never played. 

I had it in my mind he came on as sub. Although I am not crystal clear these days. I used to watch the reserves then do maybe saw him there

Not according to the very same Simon Marsland book. Not in the league, League Cup or FA Cup.

There were 5 pre-season friendlies and 3 Lanaschire Cup games in which the idle Mr. Marsland doesn't mention the teams. So who knows ?

I know what you mean , I lent a old mate my 1989 complete Record book and 20 years later I've never seen it since.

Makes me sad characters like Simon will disappear from our club and we will never have someone like him around again.

Not many people like him left in the game.

Aye, but we've got Neil, and i can see him becoming a club hate figure.

 

Becoming?

That boat has already set sail.

Wouldn’t think he’d disappear, think he’ll be around BWFC until he pops his clogs, same as most of us on here. It’s in the blood. 

Picked up the first book on ebay last night for a fiver, that'll do me
