[Darren]

Guess who....

 

[Revolution]

Brian Launders, last seen getting concussed at Stockport in the Heath era.

 

[Darren]

Well done!

On one game wonders, have you ever seen a pic of Nigel Steane? Came on as a sub towards the end of the game v Wimbledon on 26/4/80 for his one and only appearance, but never appeared in any team group and I have never ever seen an image of him.

Did he actually exist?

I was at that wimbledon game but dont really remember him. A few years later I saw a photo of him with the youth team and he does look the same as the nigel Steane in the link below. Just checked that he was born in Nottingham

Another copper !

And he turned into a goalie....

Who was the lad that also came in around the same time as Launders? A defender if my memory is correct.

Sagi Burton. Was on the bench at Stockport, but didn't come on, and was released with Launders having not played a game.

 

[Houso]

That's him. Cheers Dazzler.

I was at that game. A Stockport player got sent off in the 1st half. Marcus Bent put us into the lead but Stockport levelled. Launders played for only a few minutes before the horrible head clash in a 50-50 ball

Was only 9 at the time, but seem to think said Stockport player was sent off for a potential leg breaking challenge on Curtis Woodhouse?

That name still makes me mad, even when spealt differently.

It was a bad tackle, yes, but cant remember if it was Woodhouse that was on the receiving end. Just remembered that the scorer for Stockport's equaliser was D'Jaffo!

Guess who today - and bonus points if you say which famous famous footballer the woman is related to.

 

[Revolution]

It's Richard Edghill from the traumatic 3-2 defeat at Ipswich in 2003.

I know nothing about the woman he's with

Apparently he's married to Alex Stepney's niece.

<--------------------------------------?????

That one does have me stumped. It's the 76-7 shirt and our outfield players that season were:

Hemsley
Colquhoun
Flynn
Woodward
Goulding
Speight
Faulkner
Franks
Bradford
Calvert
Garner
Kenworthy
Ludlam
Stainrod
Edwards
Guthrie
Johnstone
McGeady
Cutbush
McKee
Hamson
Hamilton
Longhorn
Dornan

By a process of elmination, I say McGeady.

Just found the link you get these photos from

Dig that mullet on Edwards and the perm on Faulkner...

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

John McGeady indeed. Rather less successful than his son.

He played more than a handful number of games for us during the 1975-76 season before having his leg broken in the 4-0 defeat at Man City in March. Dont think he played a competitive game for us again after that

He did. He started in our first game of 76-7 (0-2 defeat at Luton) and played 2-3 other games that season. I have a vague idea he broke his leg again in a reserve game that season and didn't play again after that. He remained on our books until summer 78 before being released.

I went to that match at Luton! Dont remember McGeady playing in that match. We were poor that day. Ricky Hill played in that match

Yep. Chris Byrne.

 

[DI36O]

Also, I might be thinking of the season before or after but I remember voting for unused sub Shaun Derry as man of the match afterwards.

I know you have this photo as Edgehill but it looks very much like Ryan Mallon to me?

I was very confident before the match that we had a squad to take us back to the 1st division! How naive I was!
