Alex 42149 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 1 hour ago, Craig said: Yeah he did - 7 in a row which stood for years. I think Ferdinand beat it in 1995. IIRC from the time it was Len White’s record before Goddard broke it. The stuff that sticks in your mind, man.

Craig 12383 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 The end of 86/87 was really enjoyable because of that purple patch Goddard went on. IIRC we all knew Beardsley was on his way in the summer and if memory serves me right, he'd gone massive off the boil that season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardsley was injured for the run in, that's mostly why Goddard was playing. Cunningham was still wandering around trying to be a footballer too, can't remember who else was up front? Think Mavis and Whitehurst had gone by then?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43933 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Goddard and I think a young long haired Darren Jackson getting the odd game up front, Andy Thomas was weighing in with some goals too from midfield, gazza was injured but made a difference when fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apropos of nothing, when I worked down Ipswich, I stayed at the Belstead Brook (very posh) hotel for a while, I wasn't paying btw, when checking in lass on reception said "Oh you're from near Newcastle, my dad is Paul Goddard, do you rember him?" I said I did, and would she tell him he's fondly remembered and thank him, she said "I will, he'll be made up, he still talks about his time at Newcastle, he loved it". Same hotel, I had the chance to push the smoggies Ravanelli and all, who were staying there, down the stairs like dominoes but bottled it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's him, not a certain young lad from Dunston, we missed the most following the summer exodus of 1988. I'm sure I read somewhere it was to do with his missus being homesick yet rather than end up back in London they went to Derby! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem to knock the homesick story on the head, pretty sure until probably Bobby Lee every cockney player here there were homesick stories, probably from southern sources who can't understand folks being happy "up north".

Howmanheyman 43933 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I'd give them the benefit of the doubt on that tbh, probably just a bollock dropped taking over a small existing kiosk at the central station and maybe getting old kiosk train tat?

Alex 42149 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I would say that, given you can buy a ‘Golli’ badge on their website then it’s 100% deliberate by the Back Page. I’ve occasionally bought stuff there in the past but they can fuck right off.

Alex 42149 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I wonder how much of the money goes to the Royal British Legion from their Poppy / Blue Star badges as well. Absolutely fuck all I would suggest, given they don’t mention any amount in the website. Not that most of the knackers who wear that sort of thing care about the actual cause. At least not beyond weaponising it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63200 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I drove down the John Reid Road in South Shields yesterday, and the full length of it is flags. Both sides of the road, on every lamp post, all the flags at the same height on the lamp post. It's properly been organised by some committee of arseholes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like they are trying to convince other people that they are men and that they are part of something worthwhile. Their nationality and sex are not something that they have achieved. Sad times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
