    I always wore shin pads until one game (at Wick I think it was) when I unpacked my bag to find no shin pads.

    The posh teams like parkway and west towns changing rooms always could be smelt soon as you stepped out your dads ford escort or hillman imp.....

    FA cup Notts County away 84 the away end was a bit raucous.

    Feet, OB helmets and a gert fence were in the way.

    Can anybody conform if the great Tom scored City's equaliser ..

    By imitating some of our fans by kicking their keeper in the head?  

     

    shouldnt we have had a penalty tom rugby tackled by their keeper?....
