Denny Mundee was an absolute legend in the 'battle against Archer and Bellotti' days.
In every respect he was one of us.
Bert McConigle an unknown half back who completely shackled the famous Johnny Haynes of Fulham on Boxing Day at The Goldstone.
Hey BG, I thought Bert McGonigle was a pretty shite goalkeeper and the lad who shackled Johny Haynes that day was surely John Templeman, on his debut.

My trusty book reveals that we only once played Fulham on Boxing Day during the Haynes period and we lost that 1-3 - there was no McGonigle playing,
Are you thinking of John Templeman playing against Rodney Marsh in 1966/67? That was 2-2 on Boxing Day.
EDIT: Just checked again and the Boxing Day defeat was away. We then played Fulham the next day and whacked them 3-0 - still no McGonigle though. It was played in front of the Goldstone's record attendance - I know my dad went, but I was two years old, bit young for that.
