Saw him walking down Wembley way, face like a slapped arse scowling at anyone who looked like they might approach him - would love to have seen his miserable face after we'd stuffed em, the big fat ****er him.
I was there too. The view from the cricket pavilion side was awful! We ended up behind the goal though. Scary afterwards because we couldn't find the coach!
Tues 9th March. It was rescheduled from the Sat (Mar 6th) as we played Stoke at B.P. in the 6th round of t'cup that day. Two great games in 4 days. We' signed Bill Baxter and Ken Knighton the week before - I think they got the nod instead of Banks (Frank not Gordon) and Houghton in the Blunts match. Simpkin & Waggy scored for City. 40,000 or thereabouts at Bramhall Lane. I hitch-hiked to both games from Leeds. Memorable week that was. For those who never saw the Stoke game...
The 3-2 loss at the Blunts was the most enjoyable loss I've ever been to, the 4-3 loss at Old Trafford is the only other game I can think of that came close. How times have changed since then, I've got two tickets for tomorrow and so far haven't managed to find anyone who wants to come with me.
It used to be funny now your just been ****ish, nothing at all to add to the discussions and debates just slagging off other posters.
It's still funny, and 99% of posts add nothing to discussions and debates, much like your post in fact. And this one. Welcome to Not606.
Big crowd, 40,000, which was about 15,000 up on their previous home game but it wasn't a record crowd. Their record crowd is over 68,000. More City fans there than at the KC nowadays.
Bummers seems to be on twitter these days. He is also on twitter arguing with everybody these days....
By heck, that super 8 cine film did nothing for my eyesight. I was in the Well that day, next to the tunnel. Waggy scored both goals. We were outstanding that day and at Bramall Lane. The crowd at Sheffield was the biggest I'd been in and stayed that way till the 1990's. We really should have got promotion but we fell away in the last few weeks of the season. The memorable Simpkin goal was in the Chelsea replay in 1966. HGS66, were you on the coach that Mr Taylor organised for Sheffield? He was a real United fan who taught us maths. I think he regretted doing it because although it let him see the match, he got torn apart inn school for days afterwards.
