I remember trainer Julie Cecil getting the name Mary Hinge past the Jockey Club a good few years ago!

Bet she had a lot of good men mounting her.

Laughed out loud - not seen such creepy album covers since i looked back on my Partridge Family back catalogue

I got on a plane home from Seattle a few years back and Danny Bonaduce was on the same plane. Seem to remember he was a bit of an obnoxious twat.

Fred Trueman playing for Lincoln City reserves

And I suppose he told anyone that would listen, and even those that wouldn't, how he was the fastest player they'd ever had.

That photo - I always thought we played in white shorts in the 1967/68 season only and not the season before.

We played with white shorts when Spurs were the visitors one evening in September 1966because Spurs had brought their black shorts so the ref ordered us to wear white shorts. We won 2-1. Decided to carry on wearing the white shorts for home games until December 1966 when we stopped winning the home games. In summer 1967 we decided to wear white shorts for the new season.

See match reports and photos from the below thread starting from the Spurs game

Surely Spurs wore blue shorts not black, plus white for the blue shirt away kit and. European games.

Bobby looks happy, but the best of it is with their player holding his head.

From the same night. Andy Broskom's flag (RIP).

Love the story about his Chezzy debut... his registration was lost in the Christmas post so they had to replay the match
