First ever post


Recommended Posts

Another newcomer here.

Tried to join various times but for some reason or other it didn't work, Owlstalk must've lowered the membership criteria or something.

 

Born in Sheffield, but moved a very long time ago and now living on the south coast, so only get to a handful of games each season.

First game was in 1969 I think, a 1-0 victory over Burnley thanks to an Eric Potts goal. Was too young to realise how bad we were through the early /mid 70s and just enjoyed going to as many games as I could, Was in attendance for the Boxing Day Massacre and took the day off school to watch us in the game against Santos... Memories!

 

Will take a look around the rest of the site now.

I was just a kid back then, so to me he was fantastic. I was easily pleased though, my first hero was Brian Joicey!

I've not seen him play either.. 

I guess I only really fully started around the time of Gary Shelton and Gary Bannister and Big Jack I reckon

Hugh Dowd, David Sunley and Roger Wylde were my heroes
