Cockers Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Me and a mate hung around the ground a lot in the summer of '83 when on school holiday. One day we were on the pitch taking penalties at the Kop end (unbelievably you could just walk straight on) when Lyons came over to us. He very politely asked us to leave and told us two 14 year old school boys we shouldn't be there, but not before answering all our questions and kicking our football. A great childhood memory.

And it showed on the pitch. Just imagine those two turning upto training at Middlewood Rd now. Our players would shyte themselves. Even Big Dave would run a mile to get away from Mick Lyons if they were in the same team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game when Bannister missed two penalties and we lost 1-0. Great night topped off when train broke down on way back I didn't go but remember the photos from our programme. The agony on his face when the ref brandished the red card. I think it may have been his first and only red card in his career. Shows that he was very hard, but fair. And a great photo of Bannister pulling his Wednesday shirt off after he'd missed his second penalty. Maybe both captured by the excellent Steve Ellis.
