Not too well researched. We finished 3rd in the top division so obviously we survived quite well. I wasn't even in the country Guv.. I was in Tenerife......

vulva Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I was at the Newcastle game. Think it was Easter Monday. Big game, both sides n trouble. They had Mirandinha playing. That goal by Hirst, for the quality, and the importance, is one of the best I’ve seen. Think we may still have gone down though, all the years merge into one. Seem to recall winning 4-1 at Coventy around the same time. May be wrong on this, but did Dean Barrick score with his first touch in professional football?

It remains the fastest recorded shot in history and Hirst has a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records in his downstairs toilet to prove it. It would have been better if it was the fastest recorded sh it. Edited March 22, 2019 by prowl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Funny how times change. A few years ago I might have been ' Oh Hirsty, what a lad' Now I just think that's quite a sad story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkmus Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Is it wrong that all I can think is he let himself, the club and the fans down with all that drinking. It can’t have helped with his injures for a start. However good at the time it now seems like a sad story of what could have been :-( Oh, and my opinion of him has been tainted over recent years.

The Newcastle game were Hirst scored that goal and Barrick's first touch was the season before (88/89), Coventry was 89/90 though. We never used to beat them and remember walking out of Highfield Road that day think we'll stay up no problem Just looked at the results and we lost 5 out of the last 6 games, with Luton winning their last 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
