Is one of them Paddy McGeeney?

 

[Wapping Blade]

Jeff Eckhardt on the right as we look and Tom Heffernan in the background?

 

[JJ Sefton]

I havent actually got a clue by the way (though I think Paul Smith might be a good call), youll probably have to wait for Darren or Rev for answers.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Def Paul smith on the left and Heffernan in the background. Looks like Paddy Mageeney to me on the right.

 

[Silent Blade]

Deffo Brian Smith on the left, Paddy McGeeney on the right and Tom Heffernan behind them

One of lifes great questions, whatever happened to Paddy McGeeney, and where was the picture taken?

 

[kingston RAWW]

Deffinitely Paddy McGeeney at the front. Where are you now Paddy??

Taken at the Goldstone Ground.

 

[Deleted member 875]

Go on then, when was it taken, i'd guess sometime around 1985/1986

There is a similar photo on this video, it'll keep you occupied for 10 minutes or so.

He married my mate's sister, but as far as I know now they're getting divorced. No idea about anything else....

It's Brian Smith, McGeeny and Heffernan.

If it's at Brighton it's the game at the end of 1984-5 on the same day as the Bradford fire. United lost 1-0 with Smith scoring an own goal for the winner.

There was another thread on here recently about that game, where people were recounting their tales of heroism that day, i.e going on the pitch, doing some running around and getting within 50 or 60 yards of the Brighton fans at one point.

The original BBC was formed that day in a boozer in Brighton - The Bald Blades Club

Brian and Paul Smith ,or the brothers grim as we called them.

Also known as the dangerous brothers.

To be fair, B. Smith was a fairly decent player and had a good 88-89 season until he broke his leg v Preston in April 89

 

[Russ]

We knew him as The Testimonial Man. He only seemed to play in Testimonials!

Yeah, i remember that game, it happened quite late on, and you could hear the crack in the South Stand where i was sat. Not nice, and it ended his career. Seem to remember him looking like a completely different player under Bassett, and he was one of the few he kept after relegation

Yes, I think he would have done a good job after promotion from D3 as well. He stayed on our books until late 91 and had a testimonial in May 92

 

[blade too long]

Smith , what an unusual name , never heard it before

We did seem to go through a spell where quite a few players broke their leg within a few months. Simon Webster was another, and i think Dane Whitehouse and Mike Lake also suffered the same injury at roughly the same time. Brian Smith's must have been a bad one, as not many players have to retire due to a Broken Leg.

Webster's was at Mansfield on 19/11/88 and Whitehouse's 4 years later v Bristol C on 7/10/92. You are right about Lake, but I can't remember when that was.

ALERT ALERT ALERT - Darren is losing his memory.

 

[LSF]

Paul Smith is now the community bobby for North East Derbyshire Council (and a few stone heavier than his playing days)

Just remebered - at Ipswich on 13/1/90 - and Duffield broke his leg at Swindon on 10/12/89

"Remembered" being a euphamism for looking it up eh?

 

[sitwell]

Hockey ,Macallister and McGeady all broke their legs at the lane against Man city in different seasons..........spooky.
