That Barnsley one there were loads of us in the seats above their boys so thats who the fist pumping is aimed at.  A short walk up the hill after the game and they were waiting for us at the top. It was pandemonium thereafter.

Barnsley what a total dump of a place was and is.

The first time we played Barnsley at home probably late 70's early 80's as their fans were being escorted along the back of the North Stand some of their fans were singing" I'll remember your face, son" to the tune of Tie me Kangaroo Down.  We played them on a Friday night for the away game and talking to a few of the lads who went up there it would appear they did have very good memories.

Found these in a box in the attic at the weekend.

Apols if wrong way up, IT not my strong point

I was at that Friday night game at Barnsley, it was the coldest I have ever been at a game.

We went by car, didn't the train break down?

I'm pretty sure that isn't Paddy Mulligan. Looks like John Boyle to me. Perhaps somebody else can confirm either way. Post 3692.

1969-1970 Squad:

 

Standing: Marvin Hinton, Ian Hutchinson, Dave Webb, Tommy Hughes, Peter Bonetti, John Dempsey, Eddie McCreadie, John Hollins.

 

Seated: Alan Birchinall, Charlie Cooke, Alan Hudson, Paddy Mulligan, Chopper Harris, Peter Houseman, Ossie, Tommy Baldwin, Johnny Boyle

You mean this one? Yes I think you're right, and that's Bobby Tambling on the end. My fault, I really should check more thoroughly before copy/pasting.

 

So the lineup should be as follows:

 

Standing: Marvin Hinton, Ian Hutchinson, Dave Webb, Tommy Hughes, Peter Bonetti, John Dempsey, Eddie McCreadie, John Hollins.

 

Seated: Alan Birchinall, Charlie Cooke, Alan Hudson, Johnny Boyle, Chopper Harris, Peter Houseman, Ossie, Tommy Baldwin, Bobby Tambling

12th April 1986: Forest away, David Speedie in action at the City Ground, Nottingham. I went to Forest a few times, but managed to miss this one having broken my leg the previous month on the way home from the Full Members Cup Final. The match ended in a goal-less draw.

The previous shot of David Speedie in action kept disappearing, hence the thumbnail - by the time I'd found the full sized image it was too late to edit the post. Same thing happened with the one of Mickey Thomas against Huddersfield on the previous page, so while they were available, I re-uploaded both images to PhotoBucket, which should hopefully be a little more stable than the original host:

My mistake, Blanchflower didn't take over until December 1978. The manager for the above match was Ken Shelllito.

Not sure what Gate this is;

Not the Bovril?

I think you're right, it looks live a Borvril sign in the background.

More cracking picture above.

Defo the Bovril you can tell because its quite narrow.. Great pic
