The Original OTIB Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Remember chants of Wealands, what's the score, Wealands, Wealands what's the score ... unimaginative but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Cashley scored in the Open End. I was 13 and behind the goal with my brother and two mates. I remember the momentary confusion before the rest of the team ran back to their own box to congratulate him. I have a feeling that it was 4-1 to us. I also remember (it was definitely against Hull, but could have been another game) they had a very good centre forward called Stuart Pearson, who later played for Man Utd and England. He wasn’t the biggest. I remember a big kick from Wealands bouncing in front of him when he was marked by Dave Rodger’s (who was big). Rodger’s follows the flight of the ball looking over Pearson’s head, swung his leg and kicked him a couple of feet into the air. It could have been intentional, but at the time I thought Rodgers just hadn’t seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you there? Yes cold windy rainy night, Hull City, one bounce and straight over Jeff Wealands (I think) and history I think Cash was only the 4th goalie ever to score in a league game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you there? Sure was. I remember both of us posting on this a few months back. It was a very cold night and Ray throughout the match constantly kicked the ball to the other end of the ground. I remember the goal well as I saw the ball bounce in front of their goalie and over his head. I will always remember this as one of the best memorable occasions at Ashton gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City oz Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 23 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: On the edge of the East End that night, having moved under cover from my usual spot near the back of the open terrace by the enclosure, to get out of the wind and rain. Good view of the whole event and a mixture of shock and disbelief when the ball went in. Chants were uncomplicated in those days, often little more than the player's name 'Tommmmmmmmmmmm Rit-chie', 'Super-Cheese,' 'Sir Geoffrey Merrick,' etc. and Cash's usual chant of, 'Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Cash-ley' was belted out like never before, over and over again, and the excited hubbub in the crowd continued for several minutes. Am I amazed it was 50 years ago? Well, actually no, I was 15 and that is a hell of a long time ago! I was 11 years old and with my dad in the open end. You also mention some great players in your post, and they are true City legends. A fantastic era in our great club that not only Cashleys goal but then players then of that time were and will all ways be true legends for those of us lucky to have watched them play. There will also be some great legends this season I hope as I have a good feeling it will be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
