I’ve seen more Cole goals (in black and white) than any other striker…. mainly courtesy of West Ham games. “My first game was a 4-1 win over Wolves in 1970 on a Wednesday night in the Milburn paddock in the pouring rain. Got soaked but loved it.” I honestly thought that was heading towards “I played for the toon in the 70s” the Hunters Bus sounds a bit Walking Dead; don’t spoil that!
“Started in 1991 when Ardiles was sacked and Keegan took over in division 2. Which then became division 1.” that’s probably about the time I properly ‘came out’ down here
Fought those bloody Romans till their eyes bled Brilliant post - other than the bullying of Peter, my favourite and the player I sought to emulate on the Sat/Sun parks (tough from right back or the bench)
Yeah! I’ve been quietly doing that maths as well…. Age-wise, I thought everyone was straight out of season 7 of Friends
