That was the day that Matt Heywood reminded me of a white, shitter, on a 2 year contract Vance Warner.

The amazing thing was that Heywood had apparently won one of Brentford's player of the season awards the previous year! He must have been playing alongside some nippy players back then, that's for sure as he had the turning circle of a pocket battleship.

No mention of John Newman? Got us up and possibly used more home grown talent than any other Town Manager, Moore brothers, Tony Ford, Kevin Drinkell, Shaun Mawer, Terry Donovan etc...


Don`t want to be too pedantic, but from my memory Tom Casey was the main influence in signing those players a year or so before John Newman arrived on the scene, could be wrong though.

Spot on Garth. Casey never got the credit he deserved in my view. Ford, Drinkell, Kev Moore, Donovan all made their debuts under his managership. I believe Casey was sacked following relegation to League 4 in 1977...

Add to those names Cumming, who started regularly under Caseys tutelage, ditto Batch. A certain Joe Waters was also signed under Casey.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I'm pretty sure the fans had to fund raise to get Waters here. Can you imagine if "Ye olde Fishie" had been around then? That was real lack of ambition by the club.

If you "don't want to be pedantic" then you don't have to be..............  

Tom Casey signed most of them and gave the likes of Tony Ford debuts but John trusted them enough to make them a massive part of a promotion winning team after bringing them on the season before, you can sign who you want but then someone has to make them successful.

First started watching Town in '90
Best time as a Town fan for me by a stretch was under Laws. Its just a shame Mendonca wasn't available earlier on


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Looking at Wiki the fans chipped in with £10K for Joe, oh what we would give for his like in mid field now> He could run a game with his eyes shut
