Quoted from Posh Harry


As celebrations go I always loved Gary birtles. Score a worldy then run back to our half ready for the kick off shaking a couple of hands of those who came across to him.

Bit like a Harry Enfield sketch.

Great stuff, what a player he was for us.


One thing that always stands out for me whenver I see a clip of some old footage or goals, is the lack of celebrations.

It was just....bang...goal, maybe a clenched fist wave for a second at best, but genetally just turn around and run back to the halfway line, probably shaking a few hands on the way back without stopping.

Whenever I see the clip of the 1-0 win at Goodison I always laugh at how the games kicking off again by the time the camera has stopped panning over the Town fans for a few seconds. Even in that moment of such glory on such an occasion they just sprinted straight back to get back to it.

Paul Groves was ace at this too.  Can't remember the exact game, for some reason I'm thinking Watford at home just before Xmas 1998.  He scores the winner and just stands in front of the Pontoon with head held high and his chest puffed out. Everything about it just oozed that level of arrogance you want from your main man.  


A weird thing I've always loved about an old clip thats always played a lot, is around the Peschisolido sending off in the 98 PO semi final. When I watch that back (probably every year now thanks to the OnThisGTFCday Twitter account) I always watch those moments with a bit of pride and the thought that we had some real character, some real leaders. And some guys who would go to war with each other. After the horrendous tackle on Handyside and Brevett comes over all cocky (god knows why) its great seeing Grovesy, Lever, Galli etc all in there basically saying "you ain't gonna push us around here son." Love it.

Thanks Tommy. never tire of moments like that.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
