The Bard Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 2 minutes ago, Moments of Pleasure said: What an enjoyable romp that season was, winning 20 games and scoring 68. 2007/8 and 2018/19 we gained more points, but only Gary managed as many wins and neither Johnson managed as many goals as 90/91 (Lee's 17/18 lot scored 67). No Alan Dicks team scored as many either, although fewer games then of course (think his best was 63 in early 70s). Cracking season. Winning 1 0 at Swindon the season after they got 'promoted' and Louie Donowa's winner vs the gas the stand outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan - top of the league after wining 4-0 at Brum, beat Swindon and Chelsea in the Cup. May - promoted. December - finished the year by thumping Portsmouth and Boro to sit in 7th which was a play-off place. We'll draw a veil over that away game in May 90 and Joe's departure in Sept, a hammer blow that's left us wondering ever since what heights we might have scaled if only he'd stayed. All in all, quite a 12 month. And The Roses at Spike Island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolls was just head of "Performance" rather than "Medical Performance"? Does that mean anything? One pretends he knows what he is doing while the other one actually does.

Oh Louie louie Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 One of the best ever brian moore comments the previous season. Walsall were getting thrashed by chelsea, and bri said, i cant help but think bristol city would have been a better addition to this leauge. Large following, exciting team something like that.

That was a great chip by David Rennie. Walsall had Gary Shaw playing for them up front ex-Villa in the early 80's and Des Bremner in midfield. They won the European Cup together but couldn't stop the mighty City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT BCFC Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Really pleased with this and that NP is clearly being able to bring in the team he wants! Also quite interesting that since he's left Leicester they have had an awful lot more injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 One of the biggest coos ever signing shelton. Never a third division player in a million years. He never looked out of place in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Rennie scored a few screamers if I recall correctly, but didn't most of his efforts earn him the nickname "High, wide and mighty Rennie?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a myth, me and a mate were stood next to the post (we are in the picture) Shelts shot was definitely going wide until my mate diverted it in, the Walsall keeper saw what happened but just smiled at him.

We had to be at our sixth-form leaving do by 10.30 or the doors would be locked and we were in a pub about four minutes fast sprint away. Platt volleyed Gazza's free kick in to save us from penalties at about 10.25 and the tables went up. We just made it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Best world cup ever for me. Started in the first game, what a cracker! Biggest bunch of hackers i ever saw that year, france. How on earth did basil boli stay on the pitch? Fair play to pearce, he jumped up after basil elbowed him. He wrote to pearce after thanking him for his sportsmanship.
