Surely that can't be the keeper he'd get chipped standing on his line (like Speedie against QPR). Apart from JT I think a few were on the fringes of first team action don't know if they played (again over to you Ersk) Pitt, Broad, Parkin.

 

The 'keeper is a lad called Paul Nicholls. Got released in 2000 and joined Havant & Waterlooville.  

He had a good non-League career alongside being a football agent and remains a good mate of JT. He was also his agent at one time.

Never witnessed ground like that, as when I started going early 80's, North stand and old main stand weren't there, do  remember my nan and grandad pulling out photos they took with ground like that though.

Big Doug  seems to be'disagreeing' with  Wimbledon !

All of them by the looks of it

I know, I know, I've posted this one before.

Chelsea aggro! Dougie about to stand on Fash the Bashes head!!, Looks like little Jonny B is hiding behind Big Dougie. It's all just a bit of a misunderstanding, Dougie's just telling Fash he's scored at Wembley and Fash ain't!

Exactly.

A 'misunderstanding' !

And after the 'misunderstanding' I don't think  Fash' would have been too keen to have any more 'misunderstandings with big Doug....

Oh no,  I forgot we didn't...

I was at this match Kerry missing a penalty that went into the second tier of the loft as I recall. We had a terrible record at Loftus Rd round this time 6-0 in 86, 3-1 in 87, 4-2 in 89 this game we lost 1-0 Jason Cundy's debut.

Wonder what Doug the Thug looks like now? He was missing a couple of teeth, don’t know whether it was gum disease or someone’s elbow in his mush

I was at that too. To add insult to injury, our former 'star' Roy Wegerle scored their goal from the penalty spot after Rodders inexplicably performed a one handed drag-back over the ball, right in front of the referee. 

We were bloody awful that day, partly due to the kit we wore I reckon. At least it was a warm afternoon.

I might well have posted this picture before.

 

Again I'm pretty sure this and the one in the post above have been posted before.

'The trophy awaits the winner at the finish at Stamford Bridge.' 1920s

This magnificent trophy is The Sporting Life Polytechnic Marathon Trophy and was presented to the winner.

http://www.ianridpath.com/polymarathon/trophy.htm

To go with their new world-beating marathon, The Sporting Life commissioned a world-beating trophy. Made by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company of Regent Street at a cost of £500 (equivalent to at least £50,000 today), it stands 4 feet 9 inches high and requires several people to lift it.
