Quoted from The_Laughing_Mariner
|Most Hobson ever scored was 15, I remember Brace gatting 25 one season, Tees 27 i think the season under Lawrie Mac


The 71-2 promotion season. Macmenemy was often frustrated at Matt Tees on the training pitch, and his pipe smoking off it...but what a footballer. One of the abiding memories for me of Town, but not a good one, was the decision to dispense with Matt's services so soon after the glory days. I remember all the petitions down the docks and in the pubs calling on the board to ensure he stayed. Needless to say.....

I remember going to Swindon in (I think) 1996/7, about January or February. After 30 minutes or so, the refereee called the game off due to a frozen pitch. As we were already 1 0 down and down to 10 men, we were quite okay about it but the home fans were trying to get the game reinstated, partly supposedly on our behalf, because of the distance we had travelled. I could hardly keep a straight face. Mind you, it was only 45 minutes from where I lived.

Our puppy was relieved we got back early as we only went at the last minute when Brentford's home game fell to the weather. Poor lad was dying for a p*** when we got back but we hadn't left owt for him to go on.

Neil Freeman saving a penalty against Southampton in a friendly on a friday night in the 70's and some wag in the crowd shouting "They ought to name a street after him!".

If you are refering to 1990 weren't we already promoted?

The team were poor that day and the fans mental. Climbing floodlights.

I was at my chivalarous best that day, took my heavily pregnant wife out for the day, in the baking sun,  to the 'peak district' as i thought the crooked spire would interest her!

We were indeed already promoted.  We played sh1te and lost 2-0. Thus enabling Chesterfield to get in the play offs.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

1979/80: Bobby Cumming taking out Allan Clarke at Barnsley...........then taking out Norman Hunter at BP . Then they took him past the Ponny on a stretcher.

1980/81: at home to newly relegated Chelsea. Fighting inside and outside the ground. I remember some Chelsea in the Pontoon trying to get out over the (then) metal fences. Can still picture about a dozen pair of hands pulling them back in! My mate getting twatted by a Chelsea skinhead whilst waiting for a 45 bus.

1980/81: That goal from the kick off against Cambridge at BP  when no opposing player even touched the ball.

1979/80: Kev Drinkells bullet header at home to Bristol City that hit the back stanchion and came out of the goal with as much power as it went in.

And many many more.....I could write forever and a day.


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.
