Billy Hamilton
One of my all time favourite players and I couldn’t hear a word he said due to the appalling tannoy system, why didn’t anyone tell the announcer throughout his half time chit chat his microphone was faulty. Shocking to say the least.

Re: Billy Hamilton
Don’t think the speakers were working in yhe North Stand. Couldn’t hear a thing in the upper tier all night. Very poor.

Re: Billy Hamilton
Could hear in the JMU
It want clear but that was more due to Hamiltons accent

Re: Billy Hamilton
The hardest trainer he'd ever seen according to Brian Miller. I was in the Longside during the match he mentioned against Newcastle. An old fella stood next to me said, "That centre forward is a passenger". Twenty minutes later Billy scored his first goal, a very good header, and he never looked back.

Couldn't hear anything coherent in the JMU ...

Re: Billy Hamilton
Billy Hamilton (along with Uwe) my favourite player. Wonderful to see him back at the turf last night, absolutely loved him playing for us. Was genuinely mad and upset when he was sold to Oxford. Still watch his WC exploits for Norn Iron on YouTube. I think that’s why even as a proud Englishman, I have a soft spot for the Iron.

Re: Billy Hamilton
Agree. Longside Upper it was a mystery.

Re: Billy Hamilton
I don't think the speakers were switched on in the Longside at all - what we were hearing was overspill from the systems in other stands, which is why you couldn't decipher it.
Perhaps someone forgot to flick a switch.

Re: Billy Hamilton
Mentioned it in the report - there were plusses and minuses - the minus was not being able to hear a word Billy said, the plus was it made the announcer just slightly more bearable.

Re: Billy Hamilton
I was on White Hart Lane when Billy and Graham Roberts with one of the best ogs I've seen destroyed Spurs in the Cup.Glenda Hoddle spent the game yelling at his team mates.I was working in Oxfordshire at the time was gutted when former non league Oxford stole Billy.
