  • When, without a second's thought, you can reel off Duff, Sewell, Hewie, Tocknell, Hinton, Bailey, Lawrie, Matthews, Leary, Edwards and Kinsey.

    You’ve left out dear old Johnny Summers!
    Johnny Summers was a bit before that team. The occasional stand-ins were Brian Ord, Fred Lucas and one other that is escaping me.

    When one of the younger people you work with turns up in a fully zipped up Parker Coat, and you say 'oh you've come as a Mod' and they say with a straight face 'whats a Mod'?

    FFS.

    Hahahaha, brilliant.




    (What is a mod?)
    A moderator. Duh.

    The one imprinted on my brain is from a couple of years later, Rose, Hewie, Kinsey, Bailey, Haydock, Tocknell, Kenning, Matthews, Firmani, Edwards, Glover :smile:
    The first one I remember seeing was:

    Wakeham, Sewell, Stocks, Bailey, Hinton, Tocknell, Kenning, Matthews, Ryan, Edwards, Glover

    Around that time Hewie would come in for Stocks (I know now that Stocks was the reserve) and two from Kinsey, Peacock, Lucas and Kennedy would sometimes play instead of Glover and Ryan. Otherwise, apart from Ord replacing an injured Bailey and then himself being injured and replaced by Saunders for one match, that was it from late 1962 until the end of that season.

    Never saw Stuart Leary play football and also narrowly missed Sam Lawrie.
  • I'm really old: my first team memory Bartram, Campbell, Ellis, Fenton, Ufton, Hammond, Hurst, O'linn, Leary, Firmani, Kiernan. Hewie was injured, but he could have played anywhere, and frequently did!
  • You remember when a win was two points.
  • When you realise there is World Cup at the end of the season when it seems like it's not that long since the last one. When it's hard to believe it's already 4 years.
  • You’re waiting in reception for the meeting organiser to call you through and the two blokes you are with are discussing which face products they use.

    Saw Leary and Lawrie in my first ever game, in fact they both scored.
    Not that I remember much Len, but clearly I was hooked.

  • 'Tragedy' was playing on the radio at work today. My colleague referred to it as the Steps song, but that this version must be a cover. It was the Bee Gees singing. She thought Steps did the original and hadn't heard of the Bee Gees.
