ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
Anything but an enjoyable trip to the Fylde Coast on this day in 1992

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
These articles always bring back memories, I did my work experience in Woolworths, didn't really enjoy it though.
Mark Kendall was he really as bad as it seems? The only keepers I recall from that period are Neenan & Pearce. So perhaps I've erased all memories of Kendall.
And a certain Trevor Sinclair on Blackpool's bench, he had a pretty decent career didn't he, got a big money move to QPR not long after due to impressing in an FA Cup tie.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
Kendall had retired. We brought him in to help with Mullen stating he would not be signed as a player. Then, probably after another argument with Pearce, he got him registered.tiger76 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 10:02 pmThese articles always bring back memories, I did my work experience in Woolworths, didn't really enjoy it though.

He’d been a good goalkeeper previously but not for us.

Ah! now it makes sense, Jimmy Mullen falling out with a player never surely.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 10:09 pmKendall had retired. We brought him in to help with Mullen stating he would not be signed as a player. Then, probably after another argument with Pearce, he got him registered.

Must have been Chris's dancing he didn't like.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
We've had plenty worse before and since, and the folk who complain about our present crop don't know how spoilt they really are in terms of Burnley keepers.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I was brought up on top goalkeepers, we've got them now, but there was some, shall we say, not as good between them.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
Is there a points per game table of all the 5 (?) keepers we used that season - with whom did we do statistically the best?

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I’ll take a look - but first thoughts would be Marriott because he was in goal for that run of nine wins.duncandisorderly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:37 amIs there a points per game table of all the 5 (?) keepers we used that season - with whom did we do statistically the best?

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I can happily post of missing that game.
Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I used to watch the heck out of the VHS when I was younger and nearly always fast forwarded that highlight. The colour orange, Kendall, the shrill sound of their fans, Bamber doing a forward roll. I had a visceral hatred for that minute and a half.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I remember this game mainly because of the post match "entertainment". I went over in three cars with six lads from the Rose and Crown plus my brother and our two sons who were about 15 at the time.
After the match we were walking back to our cars with my brother and the two 15 year olds on one side of the road, wearing colours, I was on the other side of the road with my mates. A group of about 7 Blackpool fans started picking a fight with my brother and the youngsters actually throwing punches and kicking. They didn't realise we were there and would obviously get involved. Let's just say it was the worst mistake they could have made. I have never condoned fighting at football matches but there are times when you have to defend yourself.

Here we go - in terms of points per gameduncandisorderly wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:37 amIs there a points per game table of all the 5 (?) keepers we used that season - with whom did we do statistically the best?
2.27 - Andy Marriott (15 games)
2.17 - Nicky Walker (6 games)
2.00 - David Williams (5 games)
1.64 - Chris Pearce (14 games)
1.50 - Mark Kendall (2 games)
Chris Pearce played in the two expunged games against Aldershot. If you include those two games, his average moves up to 1.81.

Re: ARTICLE: Beside the seaside – we didn’t like it
I bet those are career highs for every one of those keepers. (and I'm not expecting you to check!)

If I remember rightly this was the season before the away terrace was condemned, the 5-2 flattered them but they went for our jugular from the off and Kendall’s performance that day will never be forgotten.

Marriott gave the place a huge lift, but for me Walker was the best keeper we had right up to Heaton arriving.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Jan 12, 2022 3:44 pmHere we go - in terms of points per game
