I was stood with me dad last night and a few people i have been to away games with yesterday. It was in the first half in the town end and this young un said to me mate pools have been shockin this season away from home we all agreed in some games we have had hold of something in the game and let it slip from our hands i mean winning and coming out with a draw , or having a draw then loosing that point.

Then the lad said this is the worst season i have seen us play really apart from we went down , this made me laugh me mate said nee offence but it looks like your about 21 i can remember the days off been at the high court nearly going out of business , then he went on to say i remember him saying " pools have the record for the team longest not to go without scoring a goal , and how Ritchie should not have been player of the century i mean Brian Honour gave a lot to the club , Kenny Johnson , Joe Allons goals in the promtion season , scoring the goal at feethams to keep us in the football league , Ambrose Fogerty pools only capped international player by this time he said you aint seen nothing yet about pools the lad looked stunned and shut up immediatley

Had to say it made my day thinkin how far we have come as a club as my first game in 1984 i thought this lad might have been coming to pools about 7 year these are bad times i can remember what bad times really are. Not been allowed to walk from Rink End to Town End any more why do ii miss that much ??? Anyone else miss them days

I always remember the bad players

Scott Sloan
David Clegg
Rob Moverly
Wayne Stokes
Roy Tunks
Steve Tupling

Seen some good uns

Joe Allon before he moved to Chelsea
Brian Honour scored at Roker Park
Kevin Poole how did we not sign him
Rob McKinon if we had a left back like him we would be sorted
Paul Baker good old forward
Alan Shoulder had to retire after injury
Keith Nobbs another good defender
Darren Knowles one of the smallest defenders should have signed him from scarbrough in his younger days

Who remembers a goal keeper Fred Barber used to play for stockport i think might be wrong he always used to wear a mask when the teams come out i will never forget him

Chris Marples from York City there was another one who wasnt right in the head

whats this got to do with anything

Its just a bit of gossip

Its funny that this person said we are shockin , and me mate just put a smile to his face and told him what shockin was

Gary Gibson - now theres a evil named person in my eyes

remember aidy mike and kona hislop

i do

Ian Bennyworth ?

I am saying old players names ere

Ian Bennyworth was klass defender

I just want to know which players stick in your heads

Don't know about Stockport but Fred Barber played for lots of clubs including Darlo, Everton, Walsall, Ipswich & Peterborough where I remember him having good banter with Poolies at a couple of games.

Aye it was peterbrough i was thinking of Some other old poolie Tony Skedd , Chris Lynch , John McPhail

The ginger mid fielder during the fat b*****d Gibsons days, wore a mask after breaking a cheek bone - a class player, can't remember his name for some reason.

Dean Emerson

Ta.

Tim Sperevik there was a donkey for you and stig olaf larsson, I hope Turner isnt going to raid the norwegian league again for gems like these
