Willie Carlin

[Pintor75]

Willie was a Scouser.

 

[Dnblade]

Great little player, him and Hodgson made from the same mould, both could plough through the Bramall Lane mud and were loved by the fans.
RIP Willie.

Well at least we had some grass compared to the Baseball ground.but to be fair they managed to play some decent football on it.

 

[Ridgeway Blade]

Sad news. Remember him as a great little player.

Willie was a Scouser.

Same difference innit?

 

[Bladethebrian]

Them were the days with no segregation! Pockets of trouble yes but usually in good fun.
Unfortunately about that time real violence kicked in ! Can't be done today as idiots would kill each other.
Still do it in Liverpool it seems!Other cities! Well just dernt do it! No doubt some would end up in hospital with deaths a big risk.
How do they do it in Liverpool ! Respect for each other! Which has been lost elsewhere
I miss the banter of years ago on the terraces!, looks like it's lost forever! Apart from Liverpool it seems !
What a bloody shame.

Remember being in the Liverpool stand (not the kop) for the semi final second leg. Incredibly intimidating.

Remember Liverpool for being bricked on the way in one year in the street and the coach being bricked on the way out another year. Lovely luvvable cuddly humorous gentleman them scousers.

On Willy Carlin, sad passing. Hell of a player. My memory is a small wiry man, hard as fuck, all action and with an eye for a killer pass.

[Kelso]

Yes, my bad memory. Sorry Willie. You were still a good player for us. Clough knew what he was doing, not so Rowley.

 

[Silent Blade]

RIP Willie Carlin.

West ham

 

[BudockBlade]

He scored the first goal in this debut and we went on to beat Newcastle 2-1

I was at the game, am I imagining it, did he score with a header? if not it this it was in one of his early games for us. Great signing. Can picture him now, shortest guy on the pitch but a giant in ability and effort. Happy memories RIP

 

[Brynner]

Yes, a header and a good'un at that .

 

[reedy63]

I can remember a great little player who knew how to get stuck in.
RIP Willie Carlin.

 

[Big Hitter]

Willie Carlin was by far the best signing Brian Clough made when he was at Derby.

So many put their success down to Dave Mackay's signing (including the Damned United) but Carlin proved to be the catalyst in securing Derby's promotion in 1968/69.

Conversely our season went into reverse.

RIP.

Yes but who was that right half Todd? So he had a back line of Todd? McFarland Mackay. Not a bad engine room that.

 

[Big Hitter]

RIP Willie Carlin.

Great game that one at Upton Park, Two goals from Phil Cliff ( what happened to him?) We went barmy. Cockneys round us all match but didn't give us any trouble.

Todd didn't sign for Derby until 1971, the season they went on to win the 1st division

After the game at West Ham we really thought our name was written on the FA Cup that season.

 

[Darnall Siam Blade]

Yes, Phil Cliff got both our goals in the 2-1 win at Upton Park, in 1968. I was there too and like you say, Big Hitter, no trouble at all before, during nor after the game. Cliff was a bit similar to Willie Carlin , both in stature and play, but nowhere near as effective. Incidentally, WHU had Moore, Peters, Hurst and Brooking playing that day.

 

[wavy-blade]

Bit before my time , can only recognise Woody , Currie and Len . looked a right character tho , despite his stature , you just know you wouldn't mess with him , RIP Blade

Sorry, no details so will go along with Pintor75, certainly London looking at copper's lower left arm band.
Ask Bernard, sure he'd remember. By the look on his face, probably a bad tackle, on him, removing the boot.

yes and we should have been semi finalists at least battered leeds at elland road in quarter final hit post 3 times and one kicked off line leeds were very lucky that day
