Celebrating Steve "Jock" Finneston's goal against Liverpool 7/1/78 Won 4-2 FA Cup 3rd round. My first game, so always have great memories of this game from the smells of Boiled westlers burgers, horse sh@t and treading on broken shells of Percy Dalton monkey nuts!! Must mention the outstanding looking North Stand following. North Stand do your job North stand North Stand................

My abiding memory of that game is this. Even Brian Moore can't hide his contempt.

 

Update on the pre-season training jaunt in Aberystwyth- 84. ...

If we go back to the photos of the runs among'st the sand dunes, there's one  where there' s a gaggle in the top left corner on a hillock- the fella looking at a clipboard in Jimmy Hendry; he's a regular at me new local-Was assistant to Norman Medhurst from 77 till 87-  didnt go full time till 79 apparantly - Glasweigan Gers boy by nature and a great crack.

I showed the training photos from the forum  in me local and the story's started flowing....

He wouldn't be happy if I gave out all the tales connected with that trip, but a couple of throwaways- Jimmy used to look after the celts- half the team circa 84 were Scotch or Welsh circa 84- anyway a rake of em bowled up at a chip shop on the seafront- the fella behind the counter rather than ask em if they wanted small or large, said how many chips d'you want; 30 or 50? Duncan Shearer replied ' if your gonna be counting em I canna be bothered'!

I'll stick a picture up of the very amusing Jimmy H

Remember the name and what he did. Life down their pre season was interesting as I spoken to a couple of ex players at the time!

Ah ,will it be the Lyle and Scot or the Pringle jersey I wear to the football this week ?

The choice (expensive choice!) for some football supporters in 1984.

for my 17th Birthday in Nov 82 i got hold of a black blue and green diamond Pringle, which I wore the next day to Barnsley Away- The main reason I quit my A Levels was because I was money hungry to indulge football, clothes and going out.

I'm sure that's not an uncommon scenario.

Re replica shirt discussion, never ever worn one to a game

Ewell CFC here's a picture with Jimmy in

Anyone got any ideas what game this is from

Chelsea @ Sheff Utd early 90s
