Allan Gauden

I seem to recall that he wore ordinary shoes instead of football boots.

Will always remember him for scoring the only goal in the Humber derby at Blundell Park. A great strike from outside the box. The game was featured on Anglia TV on the Sunday.

RIP

For the record if anyone is interested the line up in the photo, Czurczman, Gray, Wainman, Turner, Chatterley, Rathbone, Clunie, Hickman, Booth, Wigginton, Lynch, Tees, Fraser, Boylen, Campbell, Worthington, Mcmenemy, Lewis, Gauden, Brace, Marley, Robinson. L-R B-F

The one game that sticks in my mind was the cup replay at Preston,

We played at home and drew and I was on a late turn driving my bus past Blundell park drunk off that I could not get to see the game, So when we drew four of us who would be on an early turn on Tuesday decided we would go , The replay was on the next week in them days.

We finished by 3-00pm got in a car and shot across to Preston the M62 was not completed then.

Town played well and Alan scored the only goal !!!

Preston thugs stoned some Town supporters bus going out of Preston,  so we stopped to help, got back home by 3-00am got a couple of hours kip and then back to work.

RIP  Alan  thanks for the memories.  

I was on the bus that got  stoned.  Luckily I found a mate who had a spare seat in his car so was spared a windy ride home.

Yeah agree with all sentiments on here Alan was a skilful winger who scored some important goals whilst with the club and wished his stay had been a little longer. RIP another Mighty Mariner from one of our most memorable seasons.

R.I.P Alan, a member of one of my favourite Town sides.

RIP Allan...a bit of an unsung hero of the promotion team.

Was that the game where a Town fan with a broken leg threw his crutches down at the feet of Lawrie McMenemy after the match in true Messiah fashion?!

No that incident which sticks in my mind for ever was at Stockport (on Easter Monday, I had to look that up). I remember Stockport had just put the prices up to something that was considered crazy at the time and the terrace we stood on was just like railway sleepers set in cinders / shale or something like

Town won 2-0 and a crowd of us went round to the players entrance where McMenemy appeared and the bloke with the broken leg threw his crutches down saying 'I don't need these anymore' after Lawrie 'inspired' him with a few words

Thanks for that Ipswin...I don't know where I dragged up that memory from but it certainly brought a smile to my face!!
