Shows how rare loyalty to a club is these days and why every bfc fan should try and attend to honour Bobby.
Joe Joyce's testimonial was against man utd with around 6,000 in attendance,Bryan Robson played and future reds legend deniol graham was named on the team sheet,still got the programme knocking abart somewhere.
It was a memorable neet,I was still at schooil at the time and went with a few mates,one of em had the habit of slipping his arms out of his sleeves with his coit still zipped up and then flapping from side to side and ****ting thi round the napper with his armless sleeves,anyway soon as the final whistle went we grabbed the fooker and tied his sleeves to crush barrier and left the annoying twohat screaming for help,sithi.

Cant imaging premier league players rocking up to something like this now. Main thing I remember is being very impressed by macca when he came on,
What year was this? I remember being at a game against Man Utd, late 80's am guessing? Was it 3-2 to us or summat? Sure Currie scored.
