Heard Tony Cascarino other day on about Chelsea v Wimbledon at the Bridge in front of under 7,000. Dunno mate, if you'd have said eighties I'd have agreed but we averaged 29,000 in the early nineties. We've always got less midweek games, and this game would have been the Monday night match on sky?

Guest white kanu Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I left this match thinking that we were going to be challenging that season and Humphries had a right future in front of him. I used to drink a lot back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyboy66 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was there and five days later I was in Champs on Attercliffe having Sunday lunch when Richie came in with his agent I presume and spent time talking endorsements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his twenty year (and counting) career, he's played more than six hundred games. Maybe he hasn't played too many top flight games, but to say "he didn't really do much", is a tad disrespectful to someone who wherever he's played, has been considered a top professional and an example to others, and after twenty years is still playing.

Still got a photocopy somewhere of the league table after the Leicester game, showing us 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League! Me too, how bad was the rain at dirty Leeds that night!

vulva Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I was there. Also went to West Ham once when he was getting dogs abuse from one of our fans. The lad soon piped down when Humphries scored, and the bloke next to him introduced himself as Humphries dad. In not a polite way. From memory isn't RH a blade?

He certainly grew up a blade but has rarely mentioned it during his career (most of their fans don't shout it from the rooftops nowadays though to be fair). He might as well have had a Utd shirt on when we played them in the League Cup the season after we went down he played that badly. For some reason he played at left-back and gave Devlin a free run down that side of the pitch, think he was subbed at half-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Coopio Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 He scored a few more in the FA Cup I believe. Didnt he get a hatrick against Grimsby on that freezing January afternoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatfordOwl Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I was on the Kop that night, cracking finish. Went to the same school as Ritchie and you could always see he was going to be a talent. Really nice, genuine kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
