Incognito Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Cars parked on the dog track at Chelsea? Not sure that day but i can remember those sky blue, 3 wheelers dotted around behind the goals at many a ground back then. they were amazing http://www.whichmobilitycar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Early-Disabled-Car.jpg They had a rather unPC nickname though. Haven't seen one for years, bet they'd be worth a few bob . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Goalkeeping coaches registering themselves as a player "just for emergencies", and before the ink was dry on their registration form almost every goalkeeper at the club who could legally go for a pint would fall victim to injury, illness, suspension etc. Used to be class watching matches on the telly knowing that if the keeper got sent off or injured you'd be seeing 50-odd year old Dave Beasant or whoever waddle on to gan in nets.

Wasn't there an FA cup semi when some team literally had a pub keeper in after injries/suspensions etc ? I'm off to check...think it may have been the semi Watford won in the 80's.

Pilko Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I gave Beasant as an example but having read up on it, he was on the bench for Stevenage as recently as three years ago. He was 55. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Wish this was the official Premier League Football. As soon as I see it, I'm transported back to my youth and watching Spain '82 Ah the old Adidas Tango. My spoilt rotten mate had one bought for him, 30 odd quid which was a small fortune then circa 1983. Imagine his dismay when on the first day of playing with it, it got popped under a National Express coach's wheels after a particularly hoofed clearance from me in the park.

henke Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I might have even mentioned this in thread. I had the '86 tango Azteca matchball. Apart from being a work of art it was easily the best ball I ever seen. It was bought on holiday in spain in '86 or '87 and lasted into the early '90s despite being used regularly on concrete.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The Snickers competition mid-90s where I think the prize was a pair of Adidas Predators. I'm sure you had to get each one to win or something, with Keith Gillespie being one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Nicking empty Brown Ale crates from the stadium, in the mistaken belief that we could take them to the local off license and claim back the deposit, without raising suspicion. Still don't know to this day if a deposit was even repayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
