Maidestone away in late '89, just before I went to work in Japan for three years. About 1,300 of us. John Deary got a late winner, and the place went wild.

I remember talking to a Rangers fan when Lafferty was there. He didn't think much to him and reckoned we'd got a very good price.

Quicknick

We had some good players in that team. Surprised we went down.

Certainly in recent years, but the best for me: Lochhead and Irvine.

It is not a major league. Not competitive. From 5th position down, none of the teams would be anywhere near the EPL if they were English.

Don't know who it was against or when now, but remember Alan Stephenson pulling off one very similar save at the Turf once. And that's how I described it, "One of Gordon Banks saves!" 1972/73. Burnley 1 Bristol City 1. Could have lost 1-5 but for Stevenson's performance, and that save was...

Listened to an interview with a producer or director, didnt catch which, of this film on LBC just now. He said you can see the distress that venables and Thompson went through during their police interviews. How much distress did that little boy go through? What sickens me is the thought that Venab...

By your measure of fans then my most hated club would be Forest. Got attacked twice on a visit to the City ground in the 70's (both before AND after the game) and then got attacked by a small bunch of 'em after a home game when we had just beat them 5-1. I recall the assault before the game at Fore...

It didn't look offside at all.

I wish people would stick to discussing transfer rumours.

He sounds perfect. A hard ball-winning midfieder who can pass. Good injury record. Just what we need. 31 isn't so old nowadays. We weren't moaning when we got Barton. And look at the difference he made. If we hadn't signed him, we wouldn't have gone back up.

Quicknick

Yes. The other week when they were at Leeds. Lots of Yorkshire Clarets would be with me on that.

I have been sitting on the edge of my seat post-beer in Chiang Mai reading this whole thread over the last 10 minutes, having had no idea of the score. The joys of the internet. What an important win however unattractive.

In the playground at primary school in 62/63, everyone was a Burnley or a Spurs fan. I knew Spurs were a London team and Burnley was only 18 miles from Skipton. However, it was some time later when I found out that Burnley wasn't in Yorkshire. Still, with a Yorkshire mother and a Lancs dad, it wasn'...

3m more than Stoke paid for him. So maybe showing some intent early on.

Personally think he would be a good option especially at that price.

Just the sort of Barton player we need.

Very sad news.

Very exciting stuff. But I remember 1975-76. The year we went down for the last time in over 30 years. We had WHU at home. I went to the match feeling sure we would lose [much like today], but we won 2-0. An untried midfielder called Kevin Kennerley scored. His only goal for us. I'm happy for McNeil...

Can’t see us moving Wood, record signing and I think we still have instalments of it yet to pay Leeds.

Rodriquez would be crazy to sign. We could easily change divisions with WBA.

Quicknick

Bad result today at Leicester.

Quicknick

Who did, then?

Quicknick

We're missing Brian O'Neil.

Moyes would almost certainly mean relegation.

Tony Hancock was a massive disappointment, but the worst? No, he had some skill. Select from all but three of the 86/87 team.

I certainly remember it. I worked more recently with a fellow from Lockerbie.

Really need to start creating more in the last half of the season if we hope to stay up.

If we'd hung on for the draw we deserved, you'd have been praising the team.

Look at the attendances now for league and cup - massive difference. Back in the early 70s we played Wolves at home in the cup and couldn't get on our beloved Longside for about 10k or more Wolves fans (actually annoying as it was, it was a fabulous sight, a sea of black and gold). The following we...

Oh what a suprise we have played the most long balls in the league hahahaha

Watch a few YouTube videos of the great Liverpool team of the late 70s and 80s. They were architects of the long accurate ball. Forward, diagonally.

I just googled this after seeing the link that you posted which didn't work. No problem. Sad to hear this. 'Ever Fallen In Love ...' was a classic of its time.
