Goals i remember you will never see the like of

First one,v Man utd,i can remember the year
a BOKAS tthrow in, Manu goalie goes to save it,
only parryies into the net,GOAL
Next v west Ham,Gordon Pallister full injure can hardly walk
no subs in them days, The west ham players dont tackle him,he scores
in the ponty end from the byeline Goal
But,the best of all,versus Swansea, there were two brothers Len and Ivor Allchurch,a corner for Swansea Ponty end,
One of the brothers goes to take it,the other brother runs up and says i will take it,he taps it to hime,he walks up the bye line and kicks into the net
a well played trick ,by them,Goal
the last one best of all, just an ordinary goal scored by ex Donny rovers Player Bert Tindall,in the Kopend,it saves Barnsley from having to apply for reelection,
as it goes i the Ne,a flock of WILD GEESE FLY OVER THE GROUND
Come on Barnsley,you can do it, WIN,WIN,

 

Bob - remember the days when people took pigeons to the match with them to send the score home - no local radio inthem days!!

A lot of kids Bob used to have a ladder hidden in that old orchard at back of Brewery stand,they used to prop it up and march up it and straight over wall,used to take it in turns so one lad had to hide it again but he couldnt get in that week,maybe it was his turn at the next home game,the good old days.
