Who remembers when we had interesting pre-seaon friendlies?

[Spunk Bubble]

I remember us getting stuffed 7-2 at home by Arsenal during the pre-season of 1987-88. Kevin Bremner scored a fantastic volley that night. Good times !!

 

[Notters]

Pre season friendlies do tend to be mighty shit though, whoever we play... We only go because we're desperate for football by then!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Have a look at this list and tell me that we are not as decent a game as quite a few of those on the list

I mean Arsenal away at Barnet as an example??

Arsenals stiffs play at underhill

[Nottseagull]

In 1985 Liverpool asked US for a pre season friendly!!!

Why would they ask Uncle Spielberg?

We used to have loads. The best would have been Spurs at the Goldstone which was billed as Klinsman's 1st game for Spurs, he didn't turn up but it sticks in my mind because it was the 1st time I saw Sol Campbell play. Skinny, comparatively, at the time and he had our hero Nogan in his pocket all game and had twice as much pace as our fastest forward.

I seem to remember Mark Gall gave Sol Campbell the right run-around.

I seem to remember Mark Gall gave Sol Campbell the right run-around.

Really? It seems Mark Gall retired in 1992 and Klinsman didn't join Spurs until 1994 so I'm guessing this pre-season was in 1994

Strings, do you have the team line ups for that game?

 

[Jam The Man]

I remember us loosing about 7-1 to SHeffield Wednesday at The Goldstone. They had such greats as You'll never beat Des Walker, Regi Blinker and a whole host of stars that graced the Premiership early years

That was Steve Foster's testimonial... Hoddle played for us and sent over a delicate chip for Minton to knock back to Peter Smith to tap in.

Yeah Barca and Celtic, will be OK. But as I said, last month, it doesn't appeal to me.

I heard about that Hong Kong tour too, I hope that doesn't happen.

Surely we have to play Orient too, as our reserves use there ground.

It was before 1994.I can remember having some banter with a Spurs supporting mate at work who used to rave about this young defender called Sol Campbell.I think we played Spurs a couple of times in pre season at the Goldstone.

I'll post it next time I go to my parents if you want, however it is unlikely to be until August bank holiday I'm afraid!

i seem to remember us playing in a pre season tournament involving Rangers, West Ham + 1 other team at Ibrox ??

Are you sure on that?

I remember us playing Wednesday for Dean Wilkins testimonial, and he got probably the worst reception for anyone who was celebrating a testimonial, hardly a murmur from the north stand.

We also played Spurs and got thumped another time, so that might be the game that Hoddle played in.

Kilmarnock.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The Foster game was the first game i ever went to.

Glort glory days for both clubs.

 

[GT49er]

Beating Cyprus 6-0 at the Goldstone was good, but that must be all of forty years ago now...........................
