Dizzys Dad Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 In the early seventies, did we have five goalies in four successive games called Peter? Grummitt and Springett played in the first two, one got injured and Eustace went in goal. Fox played in the next game and Shilton guested for us in a testimonial. Have I imagined this or did it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eustace was emergency goalie for Grummit v Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember it starting MOTD, but yes, it was a rare appearance on MOTD for a team outside the top flight. And James' volley won it, ending our excellent home start to the season - played 6 won 6. I think it was James that bashed Grummit too, just before half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Shilton played in the net at Bumhole Stain in a County Cup game which we lost 2-0, I think Tony Field scored both, an apt name for a place to find a pig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember that one... although I do remember the opening credits that included the Ernie Hunt free kick when Willie Carr flipped the ball up with his heels and Hunt smashed it over the defensive wall into the net. Needless to say, after such a memorable piece skill that was copied by kids in playgrounds around the country, the FA banned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't take a free kick with both feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
