Albert Kirkey 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Team coming out, usually at the last home match of the season with a bag of penny floaters each to kick into the crowd. Top marks for the time some of them kicked theirs into the away end. Ball Boys having to wear those trampy co-op tracksuits, by lad they must have been freezing in the winter.

Big Onion 0 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Bandy legs. Loads of players seemed to have them in the '70s. Supermac was the obvious one but I seem to remember Stuey Barrowclough, Tommy Craig and Alan Kennedy were all of the bandy-legged persuasion. Loads more no doubt. Have bandy legs gone out of fashion? And hair, absolutely everywhere. Big hair, perms, tashes and sideburns galore, on and off the pitch. Even the baldies used to cling for dear life onto what measly straggles they had left - anyone remember Ralph Coates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6302 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Builders. I remember when they started building the SJH stand at the end of the promotion season, a whole raft of builders sat on the concrete forms that had been complete in full PPE gear during the matches. Like they were ever going to do any work then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddock 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) no19, as a boy, standing in the centrepaddock, it looked like the players on the far side, were running on thier knees. people watching from up in the trees, behind the leazes end... and people climbing into the old leazes end, through that gap along the back of the roof.

S-I-S-S-O-K-O 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Getting frisked by a copper after going through the turnstiles. Singing "Harry Roberts" and the coppers going mental. Getting soaked when it rained. Getting crushed against a barrier when we scored. The players bringing out a card each spelling "Happy New Year" on games on New Years Day.
