Before my time, but I remember Man City keeper Alex Williams being pelted with loads of bananas.

Can you image that happening today?  


No, and I hope we can all agree that's a bloody good thing. Shall we get all nostalgic for the monkey sounds that black players had to put up with in the 70's and 80's too?

Quoted from TonySmith
Dave Worthington ball juggling as part of his warm up,his specialty being flicking the ball over his head and catching it between the shoulder blades
Stuart Brace scoring 4 in a game against Oldham including 3 in about 6 minutes
Dave Boylen scoring direct from a corner against Plymouth
And on and on. Oh, happy days of my carefree youth!


I think that Dave Boylen direct-corner goal was against Reading, and it may even have been on an April Fool's Day. It was a real muddy old-fashioned game.

Also remember the Christmas/New Year games when the Barratts sang "Ingoldmells, Ingoldmells..." to the tune of Jingle Bells, and the place reeked of holiday cigar smoke.

I'm one of those who thinks we ought to stay at BP...

When my dad used to take me to watch Hull City as a kid they had a goalkeeper called Ian Mckechnie and the fans used to throw oranges onto the goalmouth before kick off.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

From memory he was a similar shape to an orange.

Had a tremendously long range on his kick outs.

I know what you mean about moving. So much history there and it’s a fantastic “old school” football experience. I do wonder if it will be quite the same in a shiny new modern stadium surrounded by fields and carparks. Such a shame that BP appears to be unable to be sufficiently developed but if it is move or die then we have no choice.

The guy in the early 80's who used to sing, all by himself, "Lincolnshire,Lincolnshire,Lincolnshire..." when it was all the rage to sing "Humberside,Humberside,Humberside..."

Relatively recent but the score board saying "make some noise boys" and then displaying a fishing line and "sing when we're fishing".

Weren't the score flashes sponsored by David Bury?
