Dave Bassett signed him so maybe that's who he wanted to play for all along but we nipped in first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33166 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 The Hodges transfer in then out would've had fans of other clubs screaming PSR fix if it happened today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran absolute rings around them, PL decided to man mark him, didn’t get a sniff of the ball but he did lose 2 stone. Oh and Fereday said he was shite. Some parts of that are accurate.. I’ll let you guess which.. After his abysmal spell in the NE he returned to Bournemouth and ended up in local non league…having apparently no discernible talent he ended up driving a van delivering car parts, a job recently vacated by my mate who I played Sunday football with. Some of his old work colleagues asked if he fancied a 5 a side v them and I was drafted in… I knew WF was going to be there and the cunt only turned up in an actual WBA tracksuit, the fuckin smug wanker So I decided I was going to leave my mark on him as I was almost a decade younger than him…that would’ve been easy if he hadn’t proved be be as elusive as Steve Bruce’s tactical brain… couldn’t get near the fucker, and he barley moved from about a 8 yard radius of the the centre circle, even when we broke on them… so it was obvious what I was up to and when I got close on one of their other players he swung an elbow and caught me, as we used to say “square in the fuckin puss”… I then decided that discretion would be a better tactic for myself as one of my teammates grabbed the fucker by the scruff of the neck 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42412 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 10 hours ago, PaddockLad said: Names?… Starting from the granny in her Sunday best directly behind Mirandinha , she’s Dot Swinburn, the three lasses to her left are her daughters Tracey, Sharon and Susan, and at the end is her ex, Bob Swinburn. Dot is there with her new squeeze, Micky Lamb,to her right, a Benwell lothario with a taste for oak-aged minge. They won a family ticket on the Pools and Bob is there under duress. “ They’re MY daughters, not that smarmy little prick floor manager’s from Parrishes!” Gemmill’s older brother is stood next to them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35077 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 I’ve a vague memory that there was a story in a tabloids at the time about Hodges’ Hell up here or something like that. During which time his ‘weight ballooned’ to 14 stone or something like that McFaul signed him iirc? That’s all I can remember about his short spell here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirandinha, John Hendrie, Gazza and Andy Thorn? As others have said it's Hodges rather than Hendrie. 12 months too early for Andy Thorn as well. I think it's Peter Jackson behind Gazza.

If it's from the April 1969 game, David Craig didn't play. Willie McFaul John McNamee Bobby Moncur Frank Clark Preben Arentoft Tommy Gibb Alan Foggon Wyn Davies Arthur Horsfield Bryan Robson John Craggs sub Jackie Sinclare ( he did come on) Edit..Jimmy Rimmer was the Man u goalie that day.

Back in the day when all ticket matches needed the carefully cut out tokens on sheet as well (for those of us old enough to remember)😉 But back then you could leave the strawberry at 3.05 pay on the gate and still find space on the gallowgate 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
