Really? My first thought was that it was Troutface, but then I remembered that was my first mother in law.

i’ve always thought (or assumed) that Bob Wesson was in goal for my first game, which was on the 6 April 1963, at home to Halifax Town. The score was 5-4 to City, with a George Hudson hat-trick, the other goals scored by Dietmar Bruck and Jimmy Whitehouse. BUT - the 11v11 record shows that our goalkeeper that day was a Dave Meeson, whose name, in the mists of time, has completely escaped me! Blimey, all this time I’d thought it was Bob Wesson! Another interesting fact from this game is the attendance, at 19,632, was pretty good, I would have thought, for a division 3 game.

Well they are quite similar names.

I'm pretty sure Oggy was in goal for my first game - Torquay FA Cup 1988

I was there for the 2nd one. I still have vision of Dion’s telescopic leg clearing one off the line.

Is that a euphemism and is it why everyone started talking about it?

We all agree
Bill Glazier is better than Yashin
Neil Martin is better than Eusebio
And Stoke are in for a thrashing

Before my time but my dad always insisted Lev Yashin was the best keeper of all time.

Les Sealey. April 1979 v Southampton. Ian Wallace hat trick in a 4-0 win. My 9 year old self thought it would always be like this

Jim Blyth I think, he was a quality keeper. I always preferred him to Sealey.

Oggy for me. Arsenal at home Aug 86. My memories are we won and there was only about 10K there.

Unthinkable now that playing Arsenal in the top division would have a crowd like that.
