Re: Your favourite season
2023 is my fiftieth year of actually going on .. I’ve not missed many games over that time and in truth I must have enjoyed them all even the bad times and there were plenty … favourite season ? Any spent in the top division because to me you can’t beat it even when it’s such hard work

Re: Jimmy Baxter's Wembley shirt up for auction, or is it?
I’ve got a decent football related collection accumulated over almost fifty years of collecting but I would never buy a ‘match worn ‘ shirt .. I’ve been given a few but there is absolutely zero chance I’d pay for one for this very reason.

And I think I’m right in saying that he was the last player to score a winner against Rovers until Danny Ings. There’s no tv footage of the goal so it’s one of those that only lives in the memory.

So in other words you are repeating a completely
