Looking good at 80
Was very very unfairly 'got rid of'
We've had some good players, some very good players and the there's TommyLoved the roar when Hutch got introduced.:joyful::joyful::joyful:
And in my lifetime two good managers well three Jimmy,John and George
Because we've had strikers who played 120 games and didn't score at all.Paul Culpin - played 12, scored 2. Can someone please remind me why he is a legend?
Plus Gordon Milne for me. Produced our best ever team I think.And in my lifetime two good managers well three Jimmy,John and George
Sorry forgot about Gordon, you're right good team was starting to lose his way towards the end.Plus Gordon Milne for me. Produced our best ever team I think.

Surely no-one wants to be second best.I'd say second best but it's arguable.
To be honest anyone would have suffered following JH unless they'd won the league and European Cup in consecutive seasons.No one ever mentions Noel Cantwell and I agree with them, the football wasn't great to watch. It is a shame for him as he got us through the first two years in Division 1 with great escapes, got us into Europe with our highest ever finish (last time we finished top 6) and brought in some great players, Martin, Setters, Hunt to name a few. I think he suffered because he was the manager that followed JH.

Friend of my mother is a guy called Gordon Simms who played one game for the Sky Blues in the 50s. Couldn't believe my ears when he was announced onto the pitch a few years ago. When I next met him I asked him without being rude what constituted a legend. Sorry to be the purveyor of bad news but there are two criteria. At least one first team appearance and a £50 membership feePaul Culpin - played 12, scored 2. Can someone please remind me why he is a legend?

We didn't win anything or get into Europe ( although we went close) but that team played the best football I have ever seen. It was pure joy to come and watch them as they would launch wave after wave of attack. The football was scintillating!
[IMG said:[/IMG]My favorite memory of Tommy Hutchinson was on the 30th October 1978.
Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City at White Heart Lane........ I was there, anyone else on this forum? (Despite people on here thinking I'm not a proper fan)
The only player I can remember getting successfully tackled by a bog roll.
Sadly, he was also let go too soon. He had years left in him, at least 2 or 3 at top level, and Manchester City got a gem for very little cost. That one was down to Milne, I'm afraid.For those of us of my vintage there is Tommy Hutchison to pull out of the memory bank.
From the moment he walked in the door to the day he left he was pure magic.
I agree that we let him go to soon. Yes it was Milne who let him go. However it was also Milne who brought him in in the first place, probably a Blackpool connection I would think.Sadly, he was also let go too soon.
