The treble signings of Terry Yorath, Bobby Mac and Ian Wallace. All in the same week IIRC. Something like that would do…

My chat with him was in the SISU days and he was very passionate about the poor state of the club and the need for change.

Unsurprisingly my GOAT would have to be Hutch. On the subject of meeting ex players, I’ve had good experiences. Stopped Willie Carr in the street in Shropshire and he was kind (and patient) enough to chat for 10-15 minutes. Others have been at Legends Days etc, when I guess they know they...

Yes, in my memory it was from outside the box - on his debut. Other odd memory from that game was that Val Thomas (Danny’s brother) was our sub. Don’t think I saw him at any other time.

It was the first time the brown kit was worn. He scored 1, Ian Wallace got the other.

Garry Thompson is the guest on the lounges, so probably him.

People complained that all the action was in the first half on Boxing Day, so clearly the plan was to redress the balance today. Barnstorming second half on its way!!!!

Block 5 open.

RIP Tom

The ref booked him for the push

Think Dicks was their manager at the time. Jimmy Hill's ex-assistant IIRC. Should always mention that Tommy Hutchison scored our two goals of course!!!!

I remember this one! it was when we sacked Eric Black and appointed Peter Reid who would “guarantee promotion”.

I think that’s a very interesting way of looking at it. Which of the names on the list would I see going to Luton in that scenario and think “they’ve made a good appointment”? Maybe Carsley or Eustace?

True, but there were 27 years between JS being sacked and MR’s second appointment, so we might have to be very patient…

Just really sad. Hope that the new man will be a success and we push on to the next level. Worry that this is the first move of a regular turnover of “underperforming” Managers, sorry - Head Coaches.

It was 15 months, but it was also the shortest possible timeframe for promotion to be achieved given where we were when he took over.

I was thinking the same. If the new "Head Coach" gets off to a slow start, it could all get a bit nasty.

He played very well. Much more advanced than our usual wing back position and we’ll supported by Binks.

Went to the game with much less enthusiasm than usual given recent performances, but… Thought we started really well, with Simms and Wright looking very good. We could have been 2 up before the penalty and seemed to be well in control before their second. Couldn’t really believe we were 2 down...
