Pat Saward Appeal Fund - Buy a Player Fund Walk - 14th Feb 1971

[Hiney]

Any of the old'uns on here remember this.

A right hardnut at the front!

 

[timbha]

why were they walking towards black rock, not quite as high profile as Western Road. Walk raised money to buy Bert Murray didn't it?

 

[clippedgull]

Memories!

 

[Hiney]

Raised about £1,500

The 'Best Banner' award at the walk went to G Kensett of Horton Road

Whitehawk Primary and Woodingdean primary schools raised the most money and were rewarded with a chance to play at The Goldstone for the Pat Saward Cup

Excellent

If 1,000 of us (hardcore) pledged a £5 a week for 52 weeks then we could raise £260,000 per annum to put into the player pot for signings.

Will never happen though

In early 1971 I was in the 4th year at Whitehawk Junior School. Strange that 2 schools from east Brighton raised the most cash as they were considered deprived areas. Proud to say I raised £1 in sponsorship money

If Micky gets the boot, that should just about cover it

This was the last day that you could "spend a penny" (or at least an old one) in the UK - the new penny and decimalisation came in the following day. There was also a postal strike, which disrupted the first decimal first day covers.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

There was also a postal strike

My missus (and R M Taylor's mum) was a GPO telephonist at the time and was out on strike for 6 weeks.

 

[skipper734]

That's my old ATC Warrant Officer Frank Leduc on the right. Top bloke.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Pride has certainly changed a lot since the early days...

Only messin', good stuff. So who's in that picture then?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

There's a tiny bit of me in there somewhere.

[cannedheat]

My old man went on that and was proud to do so, he says if Knight and Adams asked for the same today, the answer would be NO.

Booo that's why she hasn't got any money to give me

 

[Barrel of Fun]

We are massive! 'Buy a player funds' for the last forty odd years. Why did I have to be born and brought up in Brighton?

Worse still you could have been born into my generation of glory hunting Jamie Redknapp style match analysis-wannabe tossers wanking over Frank Lampard convinced the Premier League is Gods gift to us all...

Agreed. Although I do wank over Lampard.

Edit: Just noticed that he is not married to Elen Rives, so retract that previous statement.
