Maybe we need to look at clubs like Spurs for a left back. How much is Udogie in the window?

sandy richardson

We never did replace him.

And his best man when he got married was Johnny Mathis.

Following on from another thread on offside etc, came across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Rules These are the rules football was played under in Sheffield from the 1850s, coexisting for a while with the FA rules but eventually merged. No offside, and another whose reintroduction mig...

sandy richardson

This is like the old 'You are the Ref' in Shoot! What happens if an attacking player handles the ball and it goes in off a defender? And, for offside, if a player off the pitch 'must be considered to be on the nearest boundary line', then where on the nearest boundary line? And why not where they le...

sandy richardson

Foshiznik--thanks for this. I did have a look at the law but lost the will to live half way through. Would be interesting to know if McBurnie realised this. And if Walker didn't. And, even though it was the correct decision, whether this actually was the reason it was not given offside. The old offs...

sandy richardson

Like others, I was surprised not much was made of this. On the Man City goal at Sheffield, it was mentioned (briefly) that McBurnie was played onside by Kyle Walker, who up against the advertising boards at this point. I suppose his position is taken to be at the point where he left the playing area...

Rumour of Maguire to Villa. To link up with McGinn.

sandy richardson

Good to see Tommy Walker get another month.

sandy richardson

CT mentioned in a previous article that the only player we signed besides Peter Noble was Tommy Walker from Stoke. Anyone remember him?

sandy richardson

Would there be any records of Central League appearances?

Carwin261--do you read Backpass magazine? Mick Buxton is mentioned in the current issue in an article on Martin Tyler.

sandy richardson

Anyone remember Brian Kettle of Liverpool, who must have played more Central League games than anyone?

Just looked him up, and was at Liverpool 1973-80 but only played four first-team games.

Anyone know what happened to Tommy Walker?

You haven't got a spare garage, have you?

sandy richardson

Goalkeepers often don't come out very well from edited highlights of games, but I did wonder how we got Mellor in the first place. He came from Witton Albion (have just looked this up) who were in something like the Cheshire League. Was there a personal connection?

sandy richardson

Have not seen this on youtube before:

Won't give away the result.

Also Burnley v Millwall 1976-77:

Have missed a day or two of this, but has the OP found somewhere?

sandy richardson

I was thinking that the OP could park up in Barley until he got fixed up further afield.

sandy richardson

Can no-one help this poor person out? Surely somebody must have an empty garage in Grantham.

sandy richardson

Great article, and am looking forward to the rest.

Just one thing. I don't think Jack Yates was the only player to suffer the fate of scoring a hat-trick in their first game for England and then never playing for them again:

At the risk of increasing their angst, I think Spiral has raised an important issue.

If I am reading this right, if a shot is on target but is blocked it is not on target, but if a shot not on target is saved by the goalkeeper it is on target.

Both Dave and Dee were policemen?

Marks for effort for 4:20 but sjb is correct: Aberdare Athletic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdare_Athletic_F.C.

The source on wikipedia is a book on former league clubs by Dave Twydell. Presumably he had too much time on his hands.

sandy richardson

A related one. If all the clubs who have played English league football were put in alphabetical order, who would be top of the list?

sandy richardson

How many times and for how many minutes have we been behind in games this season? Seems like hardly any.

sandy richardson

Great pictures. Could two of the Blackburn players be John Bailey and Kevin Hird?

And I'm sure I recognise some of those backs of heads in the crowd.

sandy richardson

This was a Tuesday night game. Looking at the results on here, we lost 2-0. The worst kind of 2-0 as well. One just before half-time to dampen hope, and one half way through the second half to kill it off. I remember being surprised at how many had actually come down from Burnley. I was living in th...

Attendance at this game: 1335.

Is this our lowest ever league attendance (home or away)?

sandy richardson

Looks like World War II was a lucky break for us. If the 1939/40 result vs Birmingham City had stood, they would have been promoted instead of us in 1947. Every cloud.

Apologies if this has been posted before but just watched this about the building of the William Thompson Recreation Centre:

I had only just got over the excitement that was the building of Centenary Way.

If so, less than two weeks before Gordon Bank's car accident, which brought his career to an end.

Could this be the game? England v Yugoslavia, 11th October 1972

http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Se ... g1972.html

sandy richardson

1972 seems more likely, which is when Banks had his serious injury. Also (not from memory) 1972 was when Jeff Blockley got his one cap and Frank Lampard got the first of his two. Interesting to see Howard Kendall on there, who many saw as England's best uncapped player of the time.
