[Football] Bury v Brighton.

[origigull]

10 bosun, 1 of which was a young lady and one had his arm in a cast

You certainly have a better memory than me. So you must have been on the coach. It was a pain to find after the match. Was the guy who organised the trip called Roy or Rory?

 

[origigull]

Utterly bizarre. It was indeed, England playing Finland on the 13th. I didn't think international breaks were a thing back then.

I think this is the first time it happened. Certainly a strange occurance back then.

My brother and myself ran the coach I'm Rory, recall we only had 30 on the coach and that was after getting the driver to go Mr kerrs house in Burgess Hill at around 5 30am to get him out of bed

Hi Rory You must have kept a diary to remember how many were on the coach especially how many Bosun lads and a lass on the trip. I remember plenty of booze there and back, not much about the game, other fans from different teams and trying to find that bl00dy coach.

One of my few lower league ground misses. Always had something I couldn't miss and every year hoped for a cup game now even that outside chance has gone. BUT remember Kit's goal direct from a corner at our place Maybe one day......... but at my age they had better get a move on!

Made one visit to Gigg Lane back in the mid 1980's, still remember the cemetary next to the ground. Some of the gravestones visible from the stand l seem to remember, although the memory may be playing tricks.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He was rubbish though……. Certainly not Chris Cattlin or Gary Williams

Peter Grummitt - top save, still one of our best ever….

Out of the 30 I recall 4 or so sat in the seats, we drank in the Bury supporters club, although I was 16 so stood outside and was clocking all the different fans turning up.
Did you live in mid Sussex or come up with the Brighton group. Lee, Paul and Marcus came up from Brighton can't remember other names.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He was rubbish though……. Certainly not Chris Cattlin or Gary Williams

My dad certainly thought so.

My username is a small act of rebellion

 

[Gwylan]

Wilson had a bloody mare against Palace yesterday too

I wonder if Newcastle want him

Local lad going home? (my mum lives in the next village to Hetton-le-Hole, every time I go through it I think of Harry. I wonder if he's its only claim to fame)

EDIT I've just looked the place up and there are several footballers from the town, all more famous than Harry. The list includes Bob Paisley, Harry Potts and Ralph Coates. The Buggles' Trevor Horn also hails from there

I have a similar problem in some quarters……

When the North Stand sang “there’s only one Teddy Maybank”, my Father and his friends always used to say “thank God”!!

Still my favourite player though…..

The North East was quite a hotbed for footballers back in the day

Checked his wiki and it was as I thought,Cloughie signed him
Although I'd imagine it was Taylor that done the scouting

Wilson & Ronnie Welch double signing from Burnley for £70,000!
We had some dough back then,considering the state of the country back then

Also surprised to see he only played 12 games for Burnley

Ralph Coates who probably sported the finest comb over of them all.

Sadly seem to have gone out of fashion does the comb over, am l the only person still wearing one?

I remember going into Bury's supporters club before game and saw Tony Book in there with some other man city players. I thought what a good little club to have, cheap booze and pleasant atmosphere. These guys came up on the coach - Jeff, Lee, Marcus, John, Kevin, Derek, Ian, Steve and another Steve plus maybe 2 more I have forgotten.

So Rev, you did have a diary.

 

[essbee1]

Did you see that little kid run on the pitch at 3.29 in after the 3rd goal. Jeez, he could have got an Olympic gold at that speed.

 

[Return of the Rev]

So Rev, you did have a diary.

Just sticks in the mind tbh, went up the season before to Bury on a Seagull special, pretty sure the Bolton fans were more helpful that trip.

You're virtually home by then.

I remember that pub - had a big propeller in the forecourt outside
