Mirror mirror on the wall who is the plastic-est of us all?

[AndyRFC]

I have a signed matchball from the game, old school ball. I was only three at the time so didnt go to the game!

[PEARCEY]

I remember the roar every time Gilksey got the ball that day. Steve Foster and his headband had a nightmare that afternoon.

I used to play against Les Taylor when he played for Linskill Sec school in North Shields in the late 60s early 70s.Impressive or what ?

Programme.

HTH

ok fair enough my spelling is not the best

[Jerry St Clair]

Kingsley? Black

Yes, Kingsley Black.

The only thing I remember about him was that he was nicknamed "The Professor" at Luton. Because he had two A-Levels. Only in football.

Then he disappeared into obscurity.

Hope that is not genuine from the club. I would expect them to know that we played in yellow that day.

But thats the 87-89 shirt, so it should have a badge on it.
