Didn 't see this game although in my mind's eye and with your report I feel that I've seen a number of similar ones down the years. A pretty settled line up as well had emerged. Geoff Nulty, who essentially replaced a very different type of player in Dave Thomas, was proving to be a real asset to the team.

Nulty became a key player, allowing Dobbo to move further up the pitch too.

Reading about the stoning of the BFC supporters coach, brought it back clearly. I was in the coach following. Burnley fans hopped off the attacked coach and er ... 'apprehended' the guilty parties.

I was on the train that day to QPR but fair to say I saw such incidents myself over the years.

Nuneaton Borough away in the cup springs to mind. It was the window in front of my seat that went through. Cold journey backup the M6, with the rest of the window finally falling out at the top of Manchester Road.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 1:43 pmI was on the train that day to QPR but fair to say I saw such incidents myself over the years.

Is that the goal "Ginger Pele" rose like a salmon and headed it in at the cricket field end ?
I remember few goals but for some reason can picture that one.

Definitely at the cricket field end and a near post header - Billy and rising like a salmon doesn't seem to work thoughstrayclaret wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 4:27 pmIs that the goal "Ginger Pele" rose like a salmon and headed it in at the cricket field end ?

He did jump - problem was he didn't usually reach the other players
Very underrated player was Billy and a really good bloke too. Over 11 years now since he left us.

Re: ARTICLE: A league win on cup day for the Clarets
Billy Ingham, in my view, must have been the player who improved more than any other did through the 1970s. Interesting to just read that Brian Miller offered him a contract just before the beginning of the 1986/87 season. Billy was almost 34 then and well past his best. I wonder what he would have been like. He turned the opportunity down.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 4:34 pmHe did jump - problem was he didn't usually reach the other players

He'd retired from playing by then and was working as a bus driver. I don't think he felt he could get back to the fitness level required and at least he had a steady income. Billy was 10 months younger than me so would have been 33 then, the same as Leighton James who is around three months younger.Quicknick wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 11:14 amBilly Ingham, in my view, must have been the player who improved more than any other did through the 1970s.
