Growing up I forever saw him coming out of Barnard Castle betting shops. Loves a flutter does our Gatesy.
I always remember the radio (transister for most on here) Guy. Gilly and Gatesy? Passed many a nightshift away
I remember playing Ipswich and their Dutch defender (I think it was Thijssen) had been giving Marco stick all game. Marco scored and the defender was right behind him and he flattened him with a reverse punch. At least he scored before he got sent off.
March was my idol. I'll never forget an opening day goal at Norwich, one of my earliest away games in blazing sunshine. Outside of the boot screamer edge of box, the whole stadium applauded. I've never managed to find a video of it anywhere online but anyone who seen it will remember it.
Aye he was some boy that Mars character, bit of a nutter by all accounts. please log in to view this image
We're up there next month for the bairns graduation. I'll pick it up then. Hope you're ok mate. We'll meet up for a pint one game next year if you're about?
I've got a VHS of the highlights of all of that season somewhere. We got relegated but played some decent stuff
My missus first away game.... Glorious sunny day with Sunderland fans dancing in the stream just outside the train station!! And she thought she was going to Norich shopping !!!
