Years ago before I was obese I played in one of the chairman’s challenges. During the game, whilst I was brutally shown up by the aging former pros, Rob Scott was bearing down on goal so I decided I’d take him out to stop him scoring.

He immediately and predictably flew into a rage and called me a “FACKING CÜNT”. Meanwhile, Hurst was having a good old chuckle five yards away. He’s a good guy is Paul, I wish him all the best.

The Southampton game for me. One of the top three nights  in 55 years of following GTFC.

2022 play offs even though I only made the final, the whole campaign was just madness.

FA Cup run last season, I think after every draw I'd said "what a excrement draw" never in a million years did I think we'd get to the quarter finals (to the point a small part of me thought we might get to the semis   )

What a difference less than 18 months makes, I wonder what went wrong

Southampton. Wembley was great but Southampton was seismic in terms of the club’s (and the cup itself) history.

The play-offs were proper nuts. Three knockout games... you could hardly catch your breath... fairy tale stuff.










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Aye.

Hurst is the only manager in the entire history of the FA Cup to beat 5 teams from leagues above, in what is known as the competition proper.

That's a legacy he can be proud of, despite anything else.

The time he cupped his ears at Wembley. A fair few fellas could never get over the sheer, brute force offence it caused them.


Readily admit I was one.

It wasn't, and never will be, about him. He took part of what should've been a momentous day away in that moment, never to be returned.

Quite sad if that really bothers you still ?
