I was until I realised Neil Thompson was their temporary manager. Don't get me wrong still want them to lose but have good memories of Thompson playing and scoring for us. Also have Everton in my acca - so sod it; pointless post of the night. Come on the Toffees!
loved thommo when with us, proper pro, only hope they lose cos i'll win £40 otherwise **** the scousers
Thompson was great for us but only wish the worst for Wednesday. My dad wanted to take me to Wednesday as a kid. But decided to go to watch Barnsley with my mate. The best decision ever.
Everton got three goals to win the tie. Derek Temple got a brace and young Mike Trebilcock (a lad from pompey) got one. Gerry Young, the Wednesday right half, messed up a simple 'trapping' and the ball squirmed out to set up the winner.
“A lad from Pompey “?? With a name beginning with Tre? No, he was born in a small village north of Plymouth, just inside the Cornish border.
Plymouth, Portsmouth, Bristol, Exeter... all the same to me back then. still, in fact. later, Mike Trebilcock come out to Australia and played for Newcastle. Still here, maybe.
I see! Portsmouth to Plymouth is 170 miles. Different counties as well. You don’t recognise county boundaries obviously with England just one blob of land, all the same?
I'm just making light, like. Don't take offence. I just looked up your place. That's down there, too. Near World's End.
I'm going to be the same with George. He'll probably go where his mates go. If he wants to follow Wednesday. United or the Millers it will be up to him. Until then though he'll be a Red. I certainly don't want him to miss out on the social aspect just because he's a Barnsley fan.
That was the final the fan ran on and the copper chasing him grabbed his coit so he took it off whilst carrying on running.
