Felt sorry for Mabbutt. Always seemed like a decent bloke Yeah, shit way to lose a final but spurs had put us out that year (If my memory serves me well :D ) Hillsborough type crush was only narrowly averted at WHL that day?

Aye, I think Shinton who used to post regularly on here was there that day. And I think it was Stevie who mentioned (in relation to that) how bad it could've been if we'd played Forest at Hillsborough in the semi instead of Liverpool. I.e. how many would've travelled without tickets for what would've been our biggest match in over a decade.

Clyde Best was the first black footballer I can remember in this country but Regis was the first real star. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, same. Probably one of my earliest (properly clear) non-NUFC memories, 1986 World Cup aside. Maybe one of my fondest too in a funny way. Definitely recall some attempts to recreate the Houchen header ending in playground misery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33202 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Fucking hell, Cyrille Regis and Delores O'Riordan as well. Both talented and liked the pair of them. Far too young when you consider the likes of Norman Tebbitt are still breathing oxygen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17258 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Jimmy Armfield, ex England captain. 570 games for Blackpool, squad member in 66 when England won the world cup. Often on 5live, came over as a proper old gentleman of the game. RIP Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35080 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 RIP. Used to like listening to his anecdotes and stuff when he was co-commentating. His 40-odd England caps came in an era with less friendlies, competitive fixtures and no subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
