RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Fitting that the best outfield player on the pitch should score the second. Throughout the play-offs the giant keeper (6'8" according to Wiki) Corey Addai has been impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsall bought their stiffs down to play Milford Green in deepest Surrey when Gerry was the coach there. Rainy day dodgy pitch and an 8/0 score line but I got to stand next to him a feat not achieved again until Gerry Gow testimonial dinner. Gerry swears he didn’t handle the ball before he scored the equalizer at Charlton. You had to have been there to understand the importance of that hit!

eardun Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Congrats Crawley. Pleased for their Manager, Scott Lindsey too - suffered some personal tragedies in his life: “He was married to Hayley for 16 years until her death from cancer at the age of 44 in November 2019. The couple had three daughters.[22] His brother Matthew died in a motorcycle accident in 1995 on his way back from watching Lindsey play in a match.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerox6060 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Superb management from Scott Lindsay someone whose own story is quite inspiring in its own right, excellent side with a unique style for that level (though risky hence the defeats) there play off wins over MK were some of the best EFL performances I saw last season ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the variety of their tactics. Really clever use of Addai in build-up in the first semi, launching balls into the MK box, meant MK didn’t know whether to stick or twist in the press, and they stuck. Having pinned MK back, they then had space to pass their way up the pitch with MK too spread out to close them down. Simple, but hugely effective.

I was also there, but on a sunny Saturday afternoon, and well remember looking aghast at the ‘massive, weed ridden terracing’ opposite. I didn’t stay there for very long though, as we were shortly confronted by a mass of (apparently) Millwall or West Ham fans - I can’t remember which, but there were quite a few of them, mainly docker types, so quite hairy: I mean the situation was quite hairy, not necessarily the other fans.

This was clearly a totally different game, although both were played at The Valley. We caught a ‘football special’ from Temple Meads and got off within walking distance of the ground. It would have been around the same sort of time, mid/late 1970s. In fact, looking back through the records, it was probably April 1970 or October 1971.

Gerry Gow got our first. If I remember both their goals came from crosses that sailed over Ray Cashley’s head. Sweeney’s goal was lateish. I was right behind the goal exactly in line with Gerry Sweeney when the ball dropped to him. As he said to me it was a little bit stuck under his feet but he never needed a lot of back lift. Top Corner. we went mental. So that’s you, me and @Nogbad the Bad We are gentlemen of a certain age, for sure, that can remember away games in a promotion season 48 years ago.
