He'd been outstanding in the previous home game against Everton too - we'll never know how good he might have been but he was out for virtually two full seasons.

I've seen the reply - it read: "Thanks but we are not scheduled to play you this season".

I’m being lazy whilst at work (sneaking a few moments away)and wasn’t interested enough to read the article, as you can tell, so you could have just said what you didn’t but add his age in. Oh well. 32 - which surprised me, doesn't seem that long since he was in the youth team but then it is over 1...

Played in the same team as Taffy but was always at loggerheads with Adamson who, for some strange reason, wouldn't play him wide. Went on to play brilliantly for QPR and Everton. Such a shame to see him now but a fantastic player who deserved that ovation even if not the drenching he must have got i...

Former Claret (and Evertonian) Dave Thomas was at Goodison last weekend - nice reception for an outstanding player.

The pic with the Welcome to Turf Moor board was the launching of the Ex-Clarets fundraising in 1987.

I’ve shown it this morning to someone who appears on the photo - and it won’t take a lot of working out who that is.

when I first started going to matches it was to see the reserves as my dad thought it best as the crowds wouldn't be very big...just around 10,000, he said! Was exactly the same with me.

It's a long way back for them now. They're a million miles away from City and Liverpool. I think those two have pulled a long way clear of every other team in the league. United have a problem now. They’ve changed managers far too frequently and need to back one long term. But they can’t back OGS m...

Definitely Brian Miller and if claretblue is correct and it's the Hamburg home game the missing players are Blacklaw, Angus, Elder and Mac. The puzzler for me is exactly what our players are applauding?........Are they giving a round of applause at the end of the game to the Hamburg players as they...

Just a thought on the third picture. For Jimmy Mac to be on it I would have thought it would have been after Bob Lord's death and Butterfield did return for a short time in the mid 80s. Could Waldo be 38 on that pic? If so, I wonder if it is when the ex-Clarets launched the fundraising to help the c...

Look at the state of the pitch in the first photo, looks like the tide has just gone out. Is it Turf Moor ?

That third pic is an interesting one. Not sure what the occasion was but assuming it was at a time when Waldron was captain.

Nice to see Burnley Preston and Blackburn in the top seven of the Division, all above Chelsea, City and United. Liverpool were not even in the division, however, they had just, or were about to appoint Bill Shankly. With Bolton and Blackpool in there as well, it was the heyday for the North West to...

I wonder what the crowd was at the reserve game.

Didn’t often get reported but there would have been a decent crowd on for the reserves. I’ve been on reserve games with over 10,000 there.

Enjoying this thread, CT. Again I don't recall this fixture but some of the less familiar names in the Spurs team bring back memories.
