How Many?

Well I am a season ticket holder, I'm not going in the East End tomorrow cos they didn't make it pay on the day, but I am going to Hartlepool though not to Grimsby (part-timer?: you decide), and I am hoping to meet Gerry Gow but not Eric Eisentrager (cos I don't remember him: no offence like, whereas Gow was my boyhood hero), and I do feel Steve Phillips fails to command his area as well as he should but still rate him highly, and I will probably buy a 'Tinman is a S#ithead' t-shirt because I acknowledge that the term 's#ithead' has been positively 'reclaimed' by us, the fans, even though it was originally a derogatory term and I, erm.......... what was the question again?

Eric Eisentrager
ALEC (His adopted english name) Eisentrager was my late dads favourite player and a very brave guy as he was a German Prisoner who stayed here after the war. Dad said that he took some terrible stick in his first couple of seasons.

I have met him several times through work and he's a lovely chap, and very modest. I have seen old film of him playing and he looked really skilful, dad said he was the first player he saw perform the "overhead bicycle kick" to score a goal.

Had the pleasure to see him play on a number of occasions in the mid-50s, wonderful ball skills & a good foil for Atyeo as was my other favourite Cyril Williams in the No 10 shirt in those days inside left was considered to be the intelligent slot.
