Agreed, apart from Pat Piggott !


Bloody Nora. That name still sends a shiver down my spine. I remember playing a Sunday League cup tie against him as a 19 year old drafted into defence because I was a bit quick in those days. Our first encounter after about two minutes left me feeling I'd been run over by a steamroller. I think we lost by 9 or 10 and he had one of his many field days...

I thought it might ring a bell with a few. When Town had a colts team in the Saturday League for a year or two under Ray Gooch Pat was drafted in to "look after" them on the pitch. Nobody dared rough up the lads while Pat was on the field.

The only player of my generation who came close to P.P. was Bernard(?) Mooney who would almost literally run through a brick wall to score a goal. Any human opponents who got in the way were history. Great character though and definitely someone you'd rather play with than against. He played for a lot of teams but I think when I played against him he was at Healing.
