Billy Whitehurst, not someone to get on the wrong side of if possible.

Re: ARTICLE: Burnley get second win at sunny Donny
It was his last season in league football but he had played top flight football for Newcastle, Oxford and Sheffield United. Played in the same team as Beardsley & Gascoigne at Newcastle.claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 11:29 amBilly Whitehurst, not someone to get on the wrong side of if possible.

I remember the game well, it was a very hot day and my mates and I all came off the game with rosy red, sun burnt faces.

He was poor for us, but I seem to remember he ended up playing a lot of games at a similar level later in his career.djemba-djemba wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 12:31 pmMark Yates - scored on his debut and then never scored again.

Yes, recall it being a hot day, good performance.
Wasn't the old Belle Vue pitch at the time, the biggest playing area in the country? Seem to remember people describing it as such.

I was a little tipsy after several pints of Tetley cask. The pies were good too. Shorts and t shirt weather and a 4-1 win. Happy days.

Hull away 94/95 (?) when Deary got the winner was wet for those of us who couldn’t fit under their dilapidated roof.

Here’s the game from the angle we’ve come to love over the years…. https://youtu.be/PAlFtHAbvb4
But here is the game from the opposite angle. Plays with the mind a bit…. https://youtu.be/rDaEj5_Cb_Y

Re: ARTICLE: Burnley get second win at sunny Donny
I remember being delighted when Billy Whitehead pulled the ball into himself, he was a player who always gave us a rough time. Rankin I remember being more than decent at that level too and of course Crichton in goal. Mark Yates was too much of a footballer for the level we were at, he just seemed unable to deal with the physical side of our league but could certainly play.
I was at Salford University and was dating a girl who was St John’s at Old Trafford. She asked me who the Clorets were (it was a popular mint breath freshening sweet) and thought I was mad turning down a pitch side seat at Old Trafford to go to Maidstone United (I think) later that season.

Think it was a rare away win in the 93/94 play-off promotion season. I just got under the roof but got soaked on the way back to the car anyway.

Re: ARTICLE: Burnley get second win at sunny Donny
Ah lucky you, martin!
We tried our best to cram under the stand but only succeeding in getting agonisingly close and had to endure the run off sluicing onto us.
Still, the win made it worthwhile.

Re: ARTICLE: Burnley get second win at sunny Donny
Exeter 82: started raining in Exeter at 9.00am, stopped at 4.35pm. Exeter then scored twice, we got one back and had another disallowed for offside when they had a player standing on the line. Got a bit lively after that. Was anyone else on here amongst those of us that got a lift back to St David’s station in a Black Maria? The police asked if anyone was going to the station….what service!ten bellies wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 9:28 amTwo come to mind. Scarborough away 1991. Exeter away 1982. Lost both.

I had a ticket in the covered home end for that game and asked to get let through the gate into the away supporters!
At least it was only 2 miles home.

Was told by the press that the linesman who flagged the offside had been an Exeter season ticket holder. That wouldn’t be allowed today.Culmclaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:35 pmExeter 82: started raining in Exeter at 9.00am, stopped at 4.35pm.

I was in that van. Exeter fans thought we'd been arrested. That lift gave me the chance of a pint before our train departed in a pub across the road. The pitch was a mud bath.Culmclaret wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 7:35 pmWas anyone else on here amongst those of us that got a lift back to St David’s station in a Black Maria?

Chesterfield at home last game of the 1982 season, kick off delayed, Norman Jones on the pitch with a fork trying to help the drainage. Had there not been so much at stake i don't think that game would have gone ahead. Kevin Young almost ankle deep in standing water infront of the Longside
And who can forget Exeter at home in 1987 - there is a famous picture of a sole fan stood on the Bee Hole terrace in a blizzard. I was in the CF stand and we used to sit around row Y and were getting snowed on it was that bad. A dire 0-0 game to match the dire weather.

Re: ARTICLE: Burnley get second win at sunny Donny
Ah yes, forgotten about that one. The game should never have gone ahead really but they’d already opened the gates and there was a sizeable crowd. As a paranoid teenager I refused to celebrate us being champions that night as Carlisle could still take it with an eight goal win the following night.Herts Clarets wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 10:02 amChesterfield at home last game of the 1982 season, kick off delayed, Norman Jones on the pitch with a fork trying to help the drainage.
