Quoted from TownSNAFU5
Mimma, good call for Joe Hart.  I was going to add him to my contributions last night.  

Bobby Kennnedy was a player manager as well.

Allan Simonsen was a very talented player. Built like Messi. At 5 foot 5, not much bigger than our Dave.   He was Euro Footballer of the year. I used to watch in Germany play for Gladbach. He won 2 Eufa cups there.  Also starred for Barca.  I was stationed nearby and we got cheap tickets. Saw Keegan play for Hamburg there.  

I googled the next bit.  Good quiz question:  "Who is the only player to have scored in the following 3 finals:  Eurepean Cup, Eufa Cup and Cup-winners Cup?  Yes, our friend from Charlton who played at Blundell Park.

Talking of Keegan, did he or Ray Clemence ever play at BP for Scunny?  I know we beat them 7-1 with both playing, but not sure where.  (Another good quiz question there).  

Badger57, you are right.  A good memory for football facts or as old as me.  I was thinking about this last night.  Post in haste.  I know a Barry Wagstaff.  Yes, it is "Ken".  

I  nearly added other players from that excellent Hull team, but they are not as well known.  "Houghton and Chilton? I "think" that Hull might have had 5 players that scored 20 goals each in one season or 100 between them.  Only a distance memory.  I remember listening to a very good FA Cup match against Chelsea. Quarter final?



Yes, PROBABLY same age ish! LOL! Anyway, Ken Houghton and, um, um, Thingy Chilton along with Ken Wagstaff and others formed a formidable side in the late 60's, early 70's? They regularly featured along with Ipswich and Norwich on Anglia TV's show on a Sunday afternoon. Match Of The Week I think? Went to see them one Saturday when they were pushing for promotion to the 1st Division , instead of Town who were also at home that day. Shame on me!!!!     Hull drew 0-0 with fellow promotion seekers Cardiff City in a very boring game whilst Town won but can't remember who they were playing. Like I said, Shame on me!!!!!

. . . and you know what. . . . I wouldn't swap any of that lot for a Futcher, a Cunnington, a Waters, a Ford,  a Lever, a Cummings, a Macca . . Never!

Quoted from RalphFilthy
we should extend this to ex-great players who were managers when they came here - in which case kenny daglish would be worth a mention. Any others??


Steve Bruce
.........................

No as a manager, but Didn't Alan Kennedy play here for Wrexham

Nobby Stiles when he was at Preston North End as a player coach to Bobby Charlton who also was the player Manager and who played against us when we played at Deepdale Preston later on that season.
