    Happy Bday. Coincidentally Tranmere Youtuber was posting with a Banks Tranmere shirt in background. Maybe we can get ronnieGlavinsB@stardSon turning up for the Reds

    Scorer of more spectacular goals than any other player during my time watching tarn. Every one worth attendance money alone. Injury time winner v Cardiff best long distance goal I’ve ever seen.

    For the younger fans who never saw him but have been around a few years, think about how powerfully Dominik Werling occasionally struck a football.

    Then add on several MPH of pace when shooting, the ability to shoot on target from distance with unerring accuracy off either foot, the ability to strike both dead balls and moving ones in open play and the ability to drop a 50 yard pass on to a sixpence.

    Happy birthday Banger. Thanks for the memories: the hat trick at Milmoor; the last minute winners against Cardiff and Burnley; the 40yarder past Bob Blunder to beat the Massives 1-0; the free kick when we beat Luton and they put a man on the post so you blasted it to the other side; kicking Terry Curran up the ar$e in the first few minutes of the 2-0 victory at the pigsty November 1979.

    nice bit of footage showing Banks scoring winning goal, but this footage is some of best I have seen, showing how good Glavin was on a terrible pitch, we wnt top of the league this night with our forward in goal for 83 minutes, we should have gone up that year as champions

    Actually, I agree with your edit. I also thought we should've gone up as Champions in 1978/79 & 2018/19, too.

    remember losing to Leicester at home in 81/82 with about 6 games to go, was convinced they told our lads to lose,Alan Birch got sent off , he was crying proper tears, can still see his face in my minds eye, the board did not want Division 1 football at that time IMHO

    I recall the chairman at the time Geoff Buckle saying the fans should remember just how far we'd come in a couple of years. The club then proceeded to sell Trevor Aylott & Ray McHale that Summer.

    The 3-2 defeat at Grimsby on Good Friday was the turning point. We played some fantastic football first half to lead 2-0 at the break. Somehow we contrived to lose 3-2 by full time. No one could quite believe what they’d just seen....
