  2. Bill Garner is celebrating his 70th Birthday today 14 Dec

    All this reminiscing we have been doing got me thinking that Bill Garner probably doesn't get the recognition his performances in the 1971/72 promotion team deserve. Today is his 70th Birthday !! Bill joined us in November 1969 from Southern League Bedford Town for around...

  7. From the training ground.

    From the Training Ground. Lots of crossing and shooting practice today. Dickinson looked very sharp. He has one of the hardest shots I've seen in practice, just needs to keep them down tho, as too many went flying into the trees. I'm all for the power thing tho as it gives the goalie less time...

    With thanks as ever to http://www.sufcdb.co.uk/index.php As you can see we have a pretty decent record on this day in history but for me one match stands out from all others, probably one of the most notable league results in our history. As a mere youngster i was only at the last 5 of these...

    Memory Lane Roy Hollis v Bill Garner QF2

    Next up is two front men.
  14. Yorkshire Blue

    Memory Lane Tony Bentley v Bill Garner 2:4

    Another intriguing clash as Tony Bentley is up against Bill Garner in the type of tie that I suspect would have made a good 50:50 on the pitch.

    July 1971, Dickie Henderson in a summer show at the Cliffs with Southend players during a training session - so, question is (and let's get away from the doom and gloom!) who can we identify? Come on Harry, relying on you here - I can see Bill Garner, but need your expertise on the rest! Oh, and...
