I was there! All you younger ones should notice that there was:

No time wasting.

No diving.

No deliberate fouls.

No besieging of referee or linesmen.

No fighting between supporters.

That was Atyeo's last season.

 

 

 

I agree but it was in black and white so not so good.

It honestly never even occurred to me that people on here have watched Atyeo play live. Amazing really. What was he like to watch? I assume he had God status with supporters.

As a schoolboy, I saw Atyeo play including home to Chichester in the cup when he scored 5 and away to Shrewsbury in the league when he scored 4.  I was too young to appreciate his ability and just accepted he’d score approx 20 goals each season. Assist weren’t measured in those days but he must have managed quite a few, often with a header to one of the other forwards. What was amazing was he scored 5 goals in 6 England internationals but was dropped for the 58 World Cup. The England team was selected by a committee in those days and Atyeo, being a part time player for an unfashionable club, didn’t fit in
