Thanks for putting a smile on my families face on a very sad day. Brought back old memories and created new ones.

Seeing him and Whelan linking up brought back the good old days

 

[matesx]

at 37 he's still good enough for lge 1


great to see him

 

[sw88]

And not forgetting the two finishes! He's still got it

My lads favourite new player, all I got walking home was Huckerby this, Huckerby be that. We have to be reminded as well that have watched lower league football for a while, Hucks and Whelan were premiership class and couldn't you tell.

Would have him in the side now. Lost a bit of pace but seems to have learned the offside rule

Wasnt it great to see players of such class grace the sky blue shirt again.. memories.
One day... maybe one day

Froggy looked decent until his injury too!

He was great today his pace was amazing two great goals, the last one was great way to finnish the game. I'd sign up today for league 1

Might be more down to the pace of the defenders

Whelan didn't get too much luck from the officials though!

On that subject, was the woman official serious when booking Whelan? Or was that a set up?

Hats off to Brucky and Ian Goodwin for even stepping on the pitch. Well done guys.

They had him as off-side constantly in the second half!! Whelan and Huckerby showed so much class. I felt like I was 14 again! Imagine if Dion, McAllister, Shaw et al had have played!

It's a true reminder of what we had once. It seems totally alien to say we had players of that quality once. Great to see Hucks, Whelan and Froggatt in Sky Blue again. They were part of the club when I was growing up. And they still looked class.

the fact Bruck and Goodwin even got on the pitch was amazing. Deitmar still has some nice touches, credit to them both real legends...

got his curler into top corner on film was right behind the goal
the curl was un real

 

[theferret]

Proper legend Hucks, and a real gent too. Lot's of references today on his twitter feed: https://twitter.com/hucks6dh6

Thoroughly enjoyable day today, at the Ricoh.great to see so many old boys who still had that touch, even if not the pace.

Met Darren Huckerby before the match, he was kind enough to pose for photos etc, including with my four year old grandson who was making his first ever visit to a sky blues football game

I think it shows what the club meant and still means to Darren Huckerby. He is always on about our current situation and came to play because of his genuine concern about the club. When he was at his best for us he was unplayable, didn't realise he was still only 37. The same for frogatt and whelan, you could tell at the time they loved playing for the club in those happy days.

Hucks and Whelan at the same time...I was at school with a girl who knew a bit about that formation.............



Sadly not a contrived joke...
