Bearwood Owl1 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I think Ron Atkinson tells the story. Maybe a little exaggerated for effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Some bits are right.. we beat Man City 2-0, hirst scored and then went in goal.. I’d doubt the 8 glasses of Champagne though... more like 18 David Eric Hirst.. what a player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I saw the footy part of it. Really exciting player. Wish we’d kept him and Dalian as a partnership Booze ultimately did Boy Wonder no favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I was at that game and Hirst scored before going in goal I wasn’t at the bar though 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hirst told the story at a dinner I attended, he said the hotel they stayed in before the game had complimentary bucks fizz on breakfast table, the other players made their minds up not to drink it, DH didn't want to see it go to waste. Legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OWL1969 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 He pulled off a reyt save. I remember one paper comparing his save to Lev Yashin. My genuine response was, who's Lev Yashin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I was there and he played a blinder up front and in goal. It was a time when a lot of comparisons between Hirst and David Whyte..Hirst came out on top that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
