Thanks for yet another highly entertaining read Laurence !

Portman Road is an oddity though. Unless they changed things recently, the land the ground sits on is owned by the local town council and the club owns the stands that sit on that land. Good job for them that they havent got a council that thinks along the lines of CCC.

Trust me Otis, it was the very worst of pubs in the entire galaxy. Imagine the Livvy in Wood End and then take away half the light bulbs, serve utterly shit beer and you're getting somewhere close.

My son doesnt know anybody who is an ST holder. Like me, he lives in Norwich and normally, because of work, finds it impossible to get to games. I'll report back here if I ever manage to find how he achieved it.

Norwich, on at least one occasion, smashed up the toilets there and threw them out the windows into the street below. Might have been the same year they set fire to the Drum and Monkey. It ain't just us who attract scum bags but we seem to be turning into Stoke City #2. Everybody is saying that...

I'd imagine it's the coked up, 'we-do-what-we-want' morons that have latched onto us that do criminal damage 'for-a-laugh'....

Sincerely hope some of our so called 'fans' get a 5am visit from the Old Bill mighty darn soon.

Did an airline or travel firm go bust ?

Rank outsiders to win the cup in 87. In a 2 horse race, odds of 3 to 1 was nuts. One of the club directors had a grand on us before the 3rd round at 50 to 1. That cup win always brings back fantastic memories for all of us who were about at the time. Promotion from Div 3 is important but...

Come and visit again any time you like chap. We appreciate good chat on here !

Was at that game and also the following Bayern game. Remember going mental with the rest of the West End when Neil Martin scored in the 1st half. Why we thought Bayern were going to buckle under in the 2nd half was pretty darn stoopid but totally extinguished when Gerd Müller scored for them...

Ok. I owe somebody a bag of jelly babies at some point in the future ! Joicey scored 9 goals in 2 seasons for us. Hardly prolific....

I'll bet my mortgage it was Joicey. As I havent got a mortgage, I'll wager a packet of jelly babies that I'm right. He also scored at HR in the 2nd leg.

Try Brian Joicey for that hat trick v Trakia Plovdiv.

Absolute monster. Him and Beattie formidable. Must just be a Norwich thing wanting to fucking swear when required ! I know the feeling well...

Blimey. How time plays tricks with the memory.

Huge thanks to the Ipswich boys for coming on here and having an honest discussion about our two clubs. Can I suggest they put up a thread on the Sunderland board and see how long it takes before they get told to f*** off or get jibes about Magpie supporter, Bobby Robson being in his box.

Just checked him out on google. Definitely the cup final goal scorer. Not so sure about the depression but his career didnt take off despite being part of the successful ITFC squad under Bobby Robson.

Roger Osbourne wasn't it ? If I remember rightly, he hardly ever featured again due to depression altho either of the two Ipswich boys on this thread will put me right on that.

Remember GTSB boasting about the racist abuse he gave to lino Paul Singh one game when we played out a draw at Portman Road. Hardly surprising he got banned with extreme right wing views. Think it was the same game when our Michael Doyle elbowed one of your guys in the head in front of the main...
