Haven’t seen that for ages, haha.

Essentially, yes, I think Tab was a bit of a Coca Cola imitation. It didn’t really taste the same, to me at least, it was more refreshing. Hence the walking out of Woolworths in town, with a carrier bag full of the stuff.

Great news, if confirmed.

Trevor Brookin’ used to irritate the life out of me, not enunciatin’ his ‘g’s on MOTD.

I vaguely remember this, especially Ian Crook, who I think turned us down? Very decent player in that Norwich team that made it into Europe.

A clue!!! He’s possibly not from the UK…

He’s developed into, almost, a hybrid of a classic winger and a forward/striker rolled into one. Pace, tenacity, aggression, awareness, a few tricks up his sleeve and the ability to find that finish when it matters. He missed his fair share of chances here, but if his overall level of finishing...

Amazing how he can just power through a defence, like that. Admittedly, they were on the back-foot, but what a goal from Vik. Can’t see Sporting holding onto him for long, if he keeps this up.

But that free kick against Barnsley though, eh? Really created a problem didn’t it, trying to fit him into that team.

Ysrael Zuniga - I’d have liked to have seen us hold onto him, to be honest. He was a natural finisher. Was just looking at his career stats: 259 goals in 556 games. His record, pre-Cov, was incredible. Even though it was obviously a poor league he was playing in.

Tab Clear, around 1992 or 1993. Saying that, I think it was only ever a seasonal novelty, as I never saw it again. I drank that stuff like a thirsty cave-kid.

I have a childish urge to spoil this thread, by dropping in a ‘Gus Poyet’, and seeing how many will quote it saying: ‘AcTiVe PlAyErS!!!!!!&£&&’

This thread has turned out rather well. 🤣

That was a fairly decent game of football, if my memory serves correctly: 2-2 (can’t remember the scorers except the Busst penalty), and Oggy came on as an outfield sub. Ferdinand and Gascoigne were different class, even in a testimonial game. Anyone mentioned Jose Perdomo?

Is he just randomly in a Cov shirt? As I can’t find anything on him being in our youth set up. 🤔

Not as old as I feel, as that would be impossible. 👍🏻

Clive’s sporadic bouts of sounding ultra urgent (in what transpires as innocuous occurrences) immediately set off my fight or flight, admittedly: ‘HERE COMES BIDWELL, with a badly timed pass, gives it away, BUT HAMER WINS IT BACK, ugh but he’s dispossessed…AAAND…oh, it’s a throw in…’ It’s...

Who’s that?

That’s the spirit. 👍🏻

PA at HR was far from crystal clear, either. The guy who did all of the announcements, etc, often sounded like he was talking through a cigar in his mouth, as well.
