Bunn and Whitehurst were a great partnership. Frankie always seemed to have a bit of a swagger to his goalscoring.
We always used to have a sweep for how long into the game before he fell on his arse - usually about 5 minutes

Don't think they played many games together. Billy was sold in Dec 85 which was FB's first season.

I'm sure you're correct. Maybe my memory is playing tricks but I remember thinking they were great together. Perhaps it was only for a short time. Remember winning 2-0 away at Palace and being v impressed with them. Perhaps that's why Whitehurst was sold ...
Saville and Flounders both had v decent scoring records in second tier but were humble larkers who didn't milk it.
Saville went on to be highly rated in second tier terms - think Liverpool were supposed to be watching him when he was at Wallsall
i remember once shouting "get saville on!" followed moments later by "wow, i can't believe i actuallysaid that..."
when he was at hartlepool, they set a record for the longest time without scoring a goal.

I hope he's better at management than he was at playing. Admittedly I only saw him few times but what I thought was he was ****ing ****.
he struggled when there wasn't a billy whitehurst playing alongside him. except one evening playing for oldham againstscarborough, when he became the only player to score 6 goals in a league cup game.
I remember that now you mention it. The ball must have hit him 6 times and rebounded into the net.
I think he was another of those players like Aaron McClean, whose right foot was on his left leg and his left foot on his right leg.
i feel i should have known about his feet being on the wrong legs, but i'm not medically qualified (apart from my ambulance badge when i went to scouts). funny how the last players to get 6 in both domestic cups were one time city players. we need someone to do it in the league to complete the set. that can be will keane's task for the coming season.
A drunkenDeano used those word's to my son's girlfriend's best mate a few years ago when they were having a girls night out when he was trying to chat her up. He even gave his name. She has no interest in football and she rang him up to ask who he was.
I think that was at the time he was still supposedly happily married.
Like the young lad who threw up on the Chairman's shoes at the work's xmas do.
Chairman: Do you know who I am?
Lad: Err, no. Do you know who I am?
Chairman: No.
Lad: Well thank **** for that, I'm off.
