StatCat tells me that the following players made debuts in the opening weeks of the season: Seamus McDonagh Frank Gray Dave Swindlehurst Eric Gates Bob Bolder George Burley Andy Dibble Steve Hetzke Cameron Duncan Tony Ford Dale White
2nd season: Iain Hesford David Buchanan Steve Doyle Terry Curran Bobby Mimms Mark Outterside Keith Bertschin McMenemy LOVED signing goalkeepers like.
I was 23 and stopped going to the home games in his second season (been going since I was 11 in 74). My father had passed away and I changed all my friends, LW wasn't helping... but then... Bob Murray seemed to pull off a masterstroke of sorts, when in the summer of 1987, he appointed Denis Smith as our new manager, while Viv Busby was installed as his assistant... then the debut of a young striker, who’d recently been brought to the club by Denis Smith from his former club York. Marco Gabbiadini would go on to write himself into SAFC folklore with his goalscoring exploits for us. Happy days. Hence...
