Didn't they also concede 8(eight) around the same time at QPR?

TC was recovering from a knee op (he would have missed the World Cup had England qualified). The team that day was Brown, Badger, Hemsley, Eddy, Colquhoun, Flynn, Woodward, Salmons, France, Nicholl, Field. Sub Cammack. Must be Cammack the one hands on knees?

8-2 in Nov 1973

I popped in the QPR shop later that season when we played at Loftus Road and bought the programme from the 8-2 game just for fun.

Ha! Me and my mate used to get the no. 17 or 24 bus from London Rd & go fishing (illegally) in that pond. Plenty of trout in there.

I would say that is Gordon Taylor far left, and Mickey Speight far right

I am hazarding a guess that this is the quality goal/quality player from April 1975, probably wrong.

Yes, Gordon Taylor for sure.

Could be right. I don't think I've seen it from that angle before.

The Moor 1967

8-2 in Nov 1973

And 8 again at Newcastle in late 90's .... arf arf .

I saw us ship 6 at Ayresome Park early Bassett era , and seem to remember conceding 6 at Ewood once upon a time. Are these our heaviest post war defeats ? I can't recall any 7's against us in my time , and certainly not any 8's !!

Latchford on the left? No 4 on the right standing next to Eddie and therefore sensibly keeping out of it.
