Who was it that done Gwyn Thomas?.........

League game against Chelsea. I think we drew 1-1 and had Cooper sent off. I seem to think Currie was sent off too and one of the Rentboys too? It was at this game that some dirty Chelsea git stamped on Thomas's leg. That season that Chelsea side accumulated record points but we beat them in the FA Cup 4-0

Whilst on about dirty sides i can also remember two games when i was a nipper and both were against Crewe. First one was in 74/75 when i think they had two players sent off, and then in 76/77 they were right dirty Barstewards when Les Harris was supersub for the evening and scored. As the players walked up the tunnel the regulars that stood on the north side were literally pulling clumps of hair from out of the Crewe player's heads.

 

Graham Roberts I think.

Remember the cup game well we were sensational that day.

 

Wasn't it the cup game he was done in

Peter Nicholas?! </p>

We ripped them apart in that game - sure Aggy got a great free kick</p>

 

Graham Roberts

Some time later Masterbates was moaning in the paper how it was not fair that chelski had lost to lower league teams like Barnsley...we were in the same league at the time.

 

RE: Graham Roberts

So it was the Cup game he got done in? Blimey!, the brandy is shrinking mi brain S) That Cup game was brilliant. They had quite a following up for that one too - no doubt expecting a win methinks? And then we played those two belters against Stoke in the next round, followed by 32,000 against Everton. That Chelsea victory is very similar to when we stuffed West Ham 4-1 in the FA Cup when Rambo got a hat trick. At half-time loads of their fans could be seen walking rather briskly up the Queens' Ground car park. Cue Barnsley taunts of "Maybe it's because i'm a Londoner" on the North Terrace. Happy days indeed! Always good to send the big boys home with a flea in their ear - especially if they were from London.

 

Deffo cup game and it was graham roberts the dirty bar steward. You could hear the crack in the ponty when he did him.

 

I was opposite it in the Brewery stand ... hell of a sound

I always thought it was roberts at the time but I'm sure someone said it was nicholas on here a while ago</p>

He was a great player Thomas - never the same after that - wasn't he shipped out to carlisle </p>

 

RE: I was opposite it in the Brewery stand ... hell of a sound

He was a right hard bar steward was Thomas. Built like a tank and never shy of getting into a tackle. I've never had much time for Chelsea since then.

 

Thomas was only done

because he was laid on the ground (a rare occurance) and was stamped on (By Roberts if I remember correctly)

 

Chunkiest legs ever

Would have run through walls if you asked him to(Y) </p>

 

It wasn't Graham Roberts

I know it's become legend that it was him, but it wasn't.

 

go on then

back that up with some evidence.

I was at the game and I would swear it was. I could be wrong.

 

Sorry, no links

But it wasn't Graham Roberts.

 

Darren Wood ? Peter Nicholas ?

Blimey , 18 years ago last January . Time flies .

 

RE: Darren Wood ? Peter Nicholas ?

I did hear Darren Woods name mentioned once. And with regards to that i once attended a reserves game when a certain Mr Wood was playing for the opposition a few years later and the late Gavin Talbot shouted him over and questioned him about the incident with Thomas. When he questioned the chap concerned he was a bit flippant but methinks Gavin struck a nerve with the fat cant! He didn't want to hang around anyway. Now that darren Wood has been mentioned that name certainly is the one!!! I think it was the same game that John Deehan was playing in the reserves after a certain altercation with Mal Shotton on the team coach prior to the Sheff Utd, and Mr Talbot tried to engage Deehan in a witty conversation but Deehan's response was mainly "Eh? What? Don't know what you're on about mate"

 

Deffo Darren Woods.

Roberts just finished job by standing on him

 

Roberts stamped of Thomas's leg. nt

IMHO </p>

 

RE: Darren Wood ? Peter Nicholas ?

wasn't Peter Nicholas... when on holiday in 1990 met up with him a few times and he was a mate of Gwyn's he was gutted for him. Watched the England v West Germany semi with him (ahem... name dropper) He was a really nice guy.</p>

BTW Gav had a way with words, bless him. How did you know him ?</p>

 

I can 100% guarantee it was Wood...

That did him.</p>

I was in the physios room after the match and Gwynn had to held down because he wanted to take, shall we say, retribution with Mr Wood.</p>

I was only about 10 at the time but its a site that I'll take to my grave.</p>

Me thinks Gwynn might not have got far with half a leg no matter how big it was.</p>

Thomas - Probably my favourite ever BFC player ever.</p>

 

your favourite ever?! really? nt
