You may remember a while ago that we voted on intakes for our Hall of Fame - this list is shown below It's time to vote on the next intake (apologies for the break in this) - normally we induct have 4 people - 3 players and 1 non-player Therefore please vote for 3 players and 1 non-player Obviously there is no point voting for anyone already in the Hall of Fame! Current Hall of Fame John Atyeo Louis Carey Gerry Gow Brian Tinnion Bob Taylor Tom Ritchie Geoff Merrick Andy Cole Jacki Dziekanowski Mike Gibson Scott Murray Alan Walsh Alan Dicks Norman Hunter Rob Nemwan John Galley Trevor Tainton Terry Cooper Korey Smith Steve Cotterill Newly Inducted Gary Johnson Buster Footman Aden Flint Gerry Sweeney Shaun Taylor
Anyone else find it odd that this is our longest consecutive run in the second tier of English football for over 40 years, yet only 2 people of this era are in the Hall of Fame, Cotterill & Smith… Do we sometimes have rose tints when we make these choices?
My choices through the years ~ Gerry Sharpe - 60's Glyn Riley - 80's Andy Cole - 90's Got to thank him - Steve Lansdown
to be a little bit against your comment .... Hall of fame is rarely about the present but say last 1 to 2 decades ? certainly anyone up to early 2000's on shorter terms of contract but have done something special like played more than 235 games? / appearances
ALEC BRIGGS CHRIS CROWE BOBBY KELLARD ALL FROM THE 60'S FRED FORD ..seemed to be there forever when I went in the 60's in fact from my first games to late into 70's /80's i think there was only 2 managers night have been 3
Votes so far: Manager/Staff Gary Johnson 3 Buster 2 3 people with 1 Players Aden Flint 3 Gerry Sweeny 2 Shaun Taylor 2 23 players with 1 Last Day for Voting is 1 March
no some of the first ones, I actually have a pretty good vision of the past and the first things most humans get attracted to they remember for the rest of their lives .. from the age of 4 or 5 I can remember loads of stuff I used to do mostly the good stuff .. but occassionaly odd naughty thing........... from the late 5o' s say 55 I can remember quite a lot .. first visits to the gate .. odd special games and back then teams were more regular not just per season but for years ... from the 80's life got more complicated and not so many things stand out as so many things going on from mid 80's my visits to the gate and aways were about half of the 60's and 70's [ usually every home game and about 6 or 7 away ave about 4 ] One instance I remember at the covered end was CHRIS CROWE TAKING 3 maybe 4 consequetive corners each being tipped over by the keeper... did they score in that event .. dont have a clue ..... ANOTHER was Alan ball coming up to the end and clapping it after they won by something like 5-0 because he never got barracked each time he had or the team had scored...... a big difference from today ..... the game changed after the 70's and interest / effort to go was not everything 90's was even less attendance and after 2000 as self employed became even less of an attendee. Since 2018 it has gradually got to a point where 1-5 visits have been the case.. but mind you by then I had been a paying customer for around 58 years.............
