Major Isewater Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 A steal from the BBC web site , they are asking for the best footballer swansongs ( do Swans sing by the way ? ). We could add Wade and Wilbraham to that list . We should quietly forget David James ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Tom Ritchie at the end of his first spell with City. Early in 1981, Sunderland stepped in to buy Tom Ritchie. His final game for the club was in a cup replay against Carlisle. He played his heart out and scored twice in a 5-0 romp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His final game for the club was in a cup replay against Carlisle. He played his heart out and scored twice in a 5-0 romp.I was at that game mate, it was brill, I was a fresh faced youngster and I've got a feeling that another fresh faced youngster played for Carlisle that night - a certain Peter Beardsley?! Am I imagining it or did we have two players on a hatrick when we were 4-0 up and were awarded a pen? And one of those was Sir Tom? I seem to remember a bit of an altercation between the two over who should complete their hatrick and take the pen. I may be imagining it all cos a lot of Merlot has flowed under the bridge since then but I do remember it being a great game under the floodlights and I also remember it cost 90p to get in!! How times have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 In Barrie Meyer's last professional game he scored his one and only hat-trick, in the first half of a 6-3 win over Southend. Curiously, Shadow Williams also scored his only hat-trick in the first half of the same game, and all nine goals were at the same end. Yes, of course they were at the other end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Tom Ritchie at the end of his first spell with City. Early in 1981, Sunderland stepped in to buy Tom Ritchie. His final game for the club was in a cup replay against Carlisle. He played his heart out and scored twice in a 5-0 romp. On his return to us he also scored the equaliser when we beat the blue few at Ikeaville in that FA Cup win in 1983. I remember thinking that Joe Jordan oozed class when he joined us. If I remember rightly in his first match we thrashed Donny and he seemed to run the game. Mark Robins had a big impact in his short loan spell with us. Biggest let-down for me was Marcus Stewart.

JM91 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 For me personally I thoroughly enjoyed Shaun Goater's last match when we played away to Southend at the end of 05/06.

Major Isewater Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 By Dave Penney, who would go on to manage the Sags. And what a terrific job he did i might add . Without his contribution they would never have gone on to be Bananarama Pub League play off winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
