Quite a few candidates for these positions. I think that I'll have to go for a Yorath & Mortimer combination, with a very near miss for Willie Carr and honourable mentions for Gibson, McAllister, Boateng, Stuart Robson's brief but excellent cameo, Steve Hunt and Barry Powell. 60's

Tommy Hutchison. 60's

Thought I saw him limping a couple of times in the first half against Vale. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

Good start!!

Let's hope so - we need all the support we can get.

I think that most of the "regulars" probably do. Boxing Day is generally up there with the highest gates in the season. That suggests that a good number of non-regulars will be there - or at least will be thinking of coming. I think that the question is whether it's unreasonable to expect the...

You must be new here ;)

Fair enough to suggest new ideas to the club, but needing to suggest that they have some tickets available on line for the Boxing Day home game?

It would seem sensible to put at least one more block on sale online.

Yep, we were at Villa on Boxing Day that year. The game Graham Oakey got injured in.

I think it's to do with the local pronunciation of "Athletic".

Gillespie and Peake 60's Honourable mentions to Curtis and Barry

I'd guess that he must have been about 5 foot 10. Players knew when he'd tackled them though. A while back I posted a story on here where Duggie had been interviewed about his career. He told a story about "tackling" Stan Bowles who went off for treatment. When Bowles came back on he said...

Believe me, I'll be the first to celebrate if we do!!

I appreciate that it's open season on the CT here these days, but there is a quote from TM that says: “January is three weeks away now and things could change then. Hopefully we might be able to firm up some of the loans to permanent signings and then the problem disappears" Now, I think we'd...

No, he started as a midfielder (IIRC) and then converted to a right back.

Wasn't Wilf a right back who we later turned into a defensive midfielder?

I think that he could make a big difference for us. Teams are sitting deep against us and trying to close out the space, he has the ability to lose a man and play the "killer" pass.

Similarly you can't let him off the hook all the time with that "logic".
