He'd fight anybody a cross between Bremner and Souness. I recall a Derby player upset him and there was Speedie squaring up to this six foot four defender and wanting to fight him. My hero Hudson was fiery too and saw him deck a defender with a left hook.Just shows talent and aggression can be a...

Apologies for leaving out Speedie too what a firebrand and what a player.

I was going to put Colin Stein in there but like Ernie Hannigan didn't really see their true form. Yes Neil Martin was great and so too was Bobby McDonald at full back.

How the hell did I forget the Hutch ! Nurse where's Mr Rattles medication !

Best Scottish player we've had ? Got to be up there with Wallace,Gibbo,Holton, Gallagher, Blyth ?

Not really sure I know he was playing well for us but "big" clubs came sniffing as usual and he signed for Villa,which didn't go down well. He was captain for them when they won the European Cup so he'd say the move paid off ?

When I worked on the railway we often went in a pub in Leek Wooton on our break and lo and behold Willie was the landlord. My work pals said who's he ? You can tell what idiots I worked with to ask me such a question !

Remember when Dennis Mortimer went to Villa ? That was a massive shock not just going to them but nobody had an inkling as to why !

I was at these games you mention so once again I have been fortunate in being there when we've had success etc. My youngest son was little in 87 and barely remembers our trophy win,and didn't fancy going to Old Trafford that night as he thought we'd get thrashed. So I've told him grasp any hint...

Looking back when my dad started taking to matches the timing was spot on,as we were flying with Hudson,Rees,Humphries, Curtis, and Glazier in goal putting in great performances week in and week out. Highfield Road was rocking every home game with us kids down the front of the Kop with our...

That Halifax match was Hudson's debut and he got a hat-trick and became a hero from then on. Great days !

Where I live in Bell Green there's loads of Celtic and Rangers fans and a few also follow Cov City too. I've grew up with that as many Glaswegians came to live and work here in the sixties,and combined supporting their home grown clubs and taking interest in the Sky Blues.

I wore an All Blacks rugby top one night in the pub and a drunk bloke said why you got that shit shirt on ? I replied because I like it and they're a great rugby team. He ranted on I was out of order as I wasn't from New Zealand ! He calmed down eventually but I never wore it again !

I'm like Nick it always baffles me how anyone can change clubs or even support another one.I like a few clubs but would never support them, to me I'd feel disloyal and would call myself a Judas. I collect football stuff and have shirts of many clubs,just like I collect Boxing memorabilia, and...

Going slightly off the thread a little when I was a kid I wore my City kit with pride. I'd play over the local fields and pretend to be Hudson or Rees while other kids were Best or Law. My dad brought me up as a City fan and I've done the same with my sons. I walk through the city centre and see...

The Bolton fans I talked to on Monday also were with us too,they said it was a disgrace at our plight. But we also all said it's widespread now with many owners coming into clubs with no knowledge of football. We get called customers instead of fans.That's the thanks I get for fifty years of...

Well done Henry Winter on mentioning us again tonight. They were talking about Hull City and how bad their owners are etc,and Winter then said yes and look at Blackpool,Charlton,and Coventry City,their owners need to be looked at by the FA. He is on our side so fair play to him.

Got talking to some Bolton fans in the pub before the game,and even though they're near the top of the division they said they aren't that good,and one bloke reckoned we'd beat them. He said we were the best side he'd seen at their place this season and was surprised we are where we are. It...

Not a big fan of Tudgay but fair play to him had a good game. Hope he keeps it up.

I think we'll give Bolton a game tomorrow as we nearly always raise our game against better sides. But if there are protests so be it we have to get SISU out and the Sheffield match showed that we've had a bellyful of these moronic shitty hedge fund.
