Thanks you two for the info...chuffed he is still healthy...we have lost too many lately..XX

I see him quite regularly as we live a few mins walk from each other. Ironically a few weeks ago we went to 'Tanks' ( that was his nickname, ex Leigh Comm & Blues fan ) funeral together.
You know a couple who were there, Jaffa ( 70 in Sept ) & Paul P ( 71 in Sept ), who lived in Shoebury until 78.

Jaffas wedding a couple of years back was a reunion of old North Bank warhorses from the late 60s early 70s .

I do like a win on the Tykes home patch (features Adam Barrett's hands in a perfectly natural position, a near worldie from Wordsworth and a great clincher from Timlin) ;

An outstanding goal by the Pirates here, followed by great feet and a not too shabby goal by the Gower;

Thanks Bob, looks like me for sure, must admit your eyesight is a lot better than mine these days. Having said that it is still hard to believe that video is 32 years young.

Not the best quality but HTF did Gooding not get a red here? ;

Heartfelt thanks Bob for putting this on. I always wanted to see highlights of this game as the following day was massively significant for me on a personal level, but I would prefer to leave it at that. Thanks again Bob, even though you won’t have a Scooby as to what I am wittering on about!!

My second season in going to sufc games. Crazy to think ronnie whelan lasted the whole season. Should of been sacked during the 96/97 season.

My Great Uncle Jacky Bridge played for us between 1950-1956 ( left in July ). Not sure if that's him bottom row far right?.
Dave B, do you know?.

Dave B, do you know?.

Tony, I don't think it is, but not 100% sure.?

Thanks Dave,
What made me wonder, was the guy i refer to, looks very similar to my late uncle, who was Jacky's cousin.
