Was that day when the kop was singing Zulu Zulu what's the score and Grob did a 2-0 behind his back with his fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrbuk Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Remember him interacting with the crowd, up for a laugh not taking stick seriously. Fair play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 We went through a period of getting ex Liverpool players at the end of their career here I’m sure we ended up with Steve Nicol and clough too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPlopper Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I went to a reserve game, not sure why because I never do reserve games. Don't know who the opponents were but we had Grobbelaar in goal, and they had Southall. I know in the grand scheme of things it means nothing, but I remember it well. Ok, as well as I can when I can't remember why I went or who the opponents were! I think it was a return to fitness game for one of our players at the time, but not sure who - it was very well attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prutton Away Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I played in goal a bit as a kid and Brucie was one of the players you would pretend to be. (Wobbly legs at penalties etc). I only saw him once at Hillsborough and went to the game really looking forward to some great keeping and if possible a bit of eccentricity...... Wednesday won 3-1 we hammered'em to be fair in a real professional performance. Chris Woods was the only great keeper that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game was midweek It was a Saturday cup game. They came armed with inflatable haddocks. Our players destroyed them and towards the end started rotation positions to add to the p-take.

I saw him play there against Aldershot Town, he must have been late 40s and still ridiculously good, we could have played all night and he wouldn't have conceded. Strange. In the match I went to at Bromley, I thought he was rubbish - he didn't dive and looked totally disinterested. Was talking to himself a lot during the game, mostly praising his opposite number. Took all the banter well though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
