Quoted from jock dock tower


Bobby Kennedy laid the foundations for Big Lawrie Mac, Pete, and he bought Sir Matt Tees back.



People forget that we only lost one of our last 10 games in that 70/71 season and that was against eventual champions Notts C. 1-0 to drag ourselves out of the four re-election places. In that run we won 4-0 at Northampton.

I'm struggling to think of many changes that Lawrie made when he took over-Jim Thompson in midfield the only addition I can think of. It was into 72 before he strengthened with Gauden and Chatterley.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Bobby Kennedy was a bit unlucky, he did not have a great start but like Barralad and Jock said he moulded a good team before he got the sack,

Lawrie then turned them into champions.

Stan Bowles.  A very talented player.  Good dribbler.  Great entertainer in the Rodney Marsh role.  Ace gambler, or should that be "not a good gambler".

Kevin Drinkell.  Ok included as the first player (I believe) recruited by Glasgow Rangers when they came into money and bough loads of English players.

Gary Lineker.  Gland to see him mentioned.  We could have bought him when he was a teenage. Also, Golden Boot winner at the World Cup with 8 goals.

Barry Wagstaff.  Great Hull City player in the 60s.

David Cross.  Well he scored 4 goals at Grimsby when we had a great team.


KEN Wagstaff surely?

Alan Mayes and Andy Rowland for Swindon in the 79/80 season, known as smash and grab.

Dave Boylen was fantastic in those last 10 games. If Kennedy hadn't insisted on carrying on playing when he was past it he may have had some success!
