Sorry Steve they are not top ten. I think they go top 75....

Just wondering if it was worth mentioning Peter Haddock was like a fish out of water.

I remember him being better than what we had (admittedly that was no great achievement) and he went on to play 100 odd games for Leeds at a much higher level than we were at.

Best known for their glam rock era hits written by Chinn and Chapman but if you listened to some of their b sides and album tracks, their material was a lot heavier. Fox on the run is one of my faves and the later Love is like Oxygen is a very good song. RIP Steve

I got through once a couple of months ago and got all 3 qualifiers correct but sadly didn't get the call.

5 phone calls this morning and an email trying to get on. No joy. So I scored 24 on round 2. And a full house 39 on round 1, would have chosen the same specialist subject too. 1 of the 3 in 10

I have been very fortunate in that I work for Hertfordshire County Council, managing the transport operation for school deliveries. Once the schools closed, we had a number of meetings about options available to keep our staff gainfully employed until the schools plan to reopen. None of it was neces...

30 on round 1 but only 21 on round 2. Got the 3 in 10.

Still trying to get on the show myself.

Being a Whitworth lad any defeat to Rochdale was always bad, but the one against nine men with our keeper on loan

Weren't they 2 different matches? Dave Williams was on loan the 1991/2 season - sure the 9 men defeat was earlier than that....

I have seen some of his posts through people who I follow who follow him. After reading a few, I had him down as a bit of a crank. The above seems to reinforce my early assessment.

Burnley 0-6 Hereford United is one not mentioned.

Agree with the Crewe defeat, I along with many others thought that was it for our club.

Sure I remember on the previous site that Buchan firstly had a drink problem and secondly that things had got physical between him and a player(s). And then he tried the same approach with Vince.....

27 on round 1. 33 on round 2, 1 I got wrong and the other the contestant guessed before I could think of the answer, which was a 1 in 4 question. No idea which one of the 4 I would have guessed so can't claim points for that. And I got the 3 in 10.

Herts Clarets

What a great name for a coach. Better then Jimmy Adamson, Brian Miller etc.. So what were the rumours of drinking regarding Buchan? Or can't we talk about this? Plenty of drinking on the Gasworkers coach back in the day :D Then after Heysel the government banned alcohol from coaches so as happened ...

Herts Clarets

I was at that Chester game (still at Sealand Rd), wasn’t this the game where there was an allegation that Buchan was spat at? I was at that game. Went in the stand and at full time got to the front to give the players stick as they came off the field. Peter Devine was laughing as he walked off whic...

Ben Mee was extremely lucky to keep his place after the first half of last season. When Hart got dropped after the Everton game I personally thought Gibson should have been given a go as well. Heaton coming back in would have sorted the captaincy situation out as well. Didn't Gibson play in the deb...

Possibly David May in defence?

33 on round 1. 30 on round 2 and only 2 of the 3 in 10 today.

He was outstanding at getting opposition players sent off A proper wind up merchant. I cant remember how many were sent off for tangling with him. Caskey for Spurs and the Stockport player in the play offs for starters. Les is nowadays fitter than he was when he was a player (his words) and is a re...

Used to play 6 a side with Joe Birney in the gym at the Turf. 1994 Div 1 Champions and I won player of the year!

And I saved a penalty from Cov Claret in 2004 when the old site organised a game on the Turf.

It was a bit more than a shiner....

33 on round 1, just got the Cher debut solo hit wrong. 18 on round 2, American Motown the wrong specialist subject for me. And only 1 of the 3 in 10 today.

Someone previously on this thread said it was untrue. Knowing the person who said that, it is safe to say it did not happen.

36 on round 1. 24 on round 2 and I got the 3 in 10 with Nik Kershaw.

By all accounts the man charged is Tom's son. Absolutely horrific. I saw the photo of the street and recognised it as a Nelson street. A closer look, my grandparents lived on that block for most of my life until they moved into a retirement flat.

RIP fellow Nelson Claret

Indeed there was, Burnley Ace, in fact it might still be there. It's a limited edition print of Tommy's wonder goal with just 100 in total. I consider myself very fortunate to own No.38 of 100. Underneath the photo by Frenchclaret's father are some descriptive words of the goal from Granville Shack...

I know people who were still on the Wembley car park when we were back in Lancashire - we drove to the game but didn't take the car anywhere near Wembley. Don't know how they cope now with so much of the car parking space having disappeared. I was in the pub by 7pm! Quite a few spotted my colours a...

I remember going to the South of France for a holiday, shortly after the 1981 FA Cup Final. As is always the case, a group of boys on a static caravan site holiday and daily games of football break out. As many a side as turned up, played for hours and lost count of the scores. After a couple of day...

Had a few 39s. One day I got 39 on both rounds and the 3 in 10 which was Stone Roses so for me a doddle. I usually get 20s as a minimum, had a few 36s last week. I have tried to get on but no joy to date.

I listen on the podcast on the drive home from work.

Looking forward to the review of the next 3 managers and seeing if Tony can refrain from using bad language. All 3 were unmitigated disasters and we are about to enter the darkest few years in the history of our magnificent club. Never again.

I enjoyed Reading more than Wembley to be honest and I don't think I'm alone in thinking that - but Deepdale in 1988 was simply incredible and right up there. This was a club who were all but done for a year earlier and now we were going to Wembley. I worked in Preston at the time but the following...

At least it will keep one of the 2 physio beds occupied for another year, JBG maintaining his residency on the other in the Defour suite.

Ruddock was a mess in the first series of this. I couldn't believe that a former professional footballer couldn't manage more than a few minutes on the pitch. I considered at the time, I am a similar age to Ruddock, never been a professional player and not that has been obsessive about physical fitn...

Anyone watching Harry's Heroes? Merson seems to be making a big effort to keep himself clean. But I cannot believe what a mess Neil Ruddock is.

Pheasants cause more damage to your vehicle when you hit them than pigeons do.

Only 2 shirts remained intact....

I asked Ray Deakin for his shirt as he ran off the pitch. He was happily taking it off to give to me when 2 of Lancashire's finest constables saw fit to grab me round the neck and put my arm up my back to prevent me getting a momento of the day.

I will dedicate the memory of the Orient game to my friend Alfie Young. I was in the CF stand with him and when Grewcock scored the first his pre half time pie went up in the air and landed on me.

Despite the result it was a horrible day. We celebrated at full time. But then the reality hit home. We almost lost our club. I had plans for a night on the town celebrating if we won.
