Silly Season

[Kevin Arnott]

Just to put this early close season in even sillier perspective, I've just had an alert from the Yorkshire Post that there is a list of nine players 'the bookies' have suggested may join our 'I predict a fuck-up' rivals. One of these is Tony Grealish. 20/1. Bless them.

Lovely bears back in the day

He was a poor mans Trevor Hockey, think not as good a beard, and no velvet covered car.

 

[Kevin Arnott]

Sausage fingered typo of course but fine recollections !!! The AV boy , but for how much longer.............

 

[BladeInIreland]

Had to google him, Tony is more likely than Jack.

 

[Blade56]

You know, signing for the Pigs is like making love to a beautiful woman.............

Yorkshire Post was source, lucky to find any Sheffield references in there. Was Leeds.

Someone mentioned it as a joke, it bounced around the echo chamber for a bit til it got mistaken for a genuine story.

Apparently people do little due diligence these days.

I remember seeing that at the old Ball Inn Training ground. It was unusual.Triumph I think?

I think you could be right,I am sure he also went on Calendar playing a pink piano,but then again,maybe not

I don't recall that mate. I was only about 9 at the time. My Nan and Granddad lived on Walden Rd so it was close by.Made a bit of a tit of myself by standing by one of the goal posts to observe penalty practice from close range.But rather than Tony Currie asking me to move he pinged a ball at me and hit me on the leg bless him and I felt a proper pillock after that wee lesson.

Brilliant. Loved watching his gritty performances on the pitch,don't remember him having a bad game but do remember his leg getting broken. Was it Mike Summerbee or even against Man City?

I think it was v Man City,but cannot remember who the player was,Summerbee is a good shout though,or if not him maybe Mike Doyle ?,Mr Silent will know.

Ah yes ,Doyle was my other guess as a likely candidate.We had acouple of epic games against them at the Lane. I think McAllister fell foul of them in a game too.

With a very young Richard Whiteley I think.

 

[bertieblade]

Believe it was summerbee, as hockey was laying on the pitch having been tackled the ball came back towards him where he promptly got up and tried to make a tackle.
They dont make em like they used to.

Absolutely BB,Hard as nails and thanks for the confirmation. Good player Summerbee but a bit of a dirty sod.

Seeing Hockey with that piano reminds me, a mate of mine at work who is old enough to remember that team told me about how he saw Hockey and Currie interviewed side by side. He said Hockey was a very erudite and articulate man and Currie could barely string two words together, the opposite of what you'd expect from their playing styles!

Hockey broke his leg after kicking Doyle's leg. He tried to run around gingerly for a few minutes before collapsing.

Summerbee was having a scuffle with debutant Alan Ogden. Hockey broke his leg kicking Doyle.

 

[bertieblade]

Thought hockey got off the pitch after initial tackle to put the ball out of play away from summerbee and then collapsed to the floor in obvious pain with what turned out to be a broken leg? No problem either way but he was a hell of a player, who had a lot more to his game but to win the ball and give it to TC.
