I don't believe you, none of you lot even go. Elvis has only supported Pools for the last 10 years anyway.

Mr Elvis and Snowy are borer season ticket holders.....FACT.
Us three from the Soviet Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire will be making an appearance at Blackpool. Staying overnight to celebrate a famous win. A young man called Istead will score two off his arse.
I went on a bus trip to Blackpool in the early sixties (63 I think). Blackpool were playing Spurs so a few of us went to the match. Spurs won and Jimmy Greaves notched.
Now that was a lifetime ago, Chip.

Ah yes...."Barbara Woodhouse" made that one up from memory!

Wonder what happened to him?

Didn't it go that me and my Dad (who would rather die than even go SHOPPING to Boro!!) only started following Pools in the 1990s or summat?

Mental. But funny!

The Kit Kat Kid · **Posted:** Thu Mar 16, 2017 6:19 pm

Just had to check Mad John's site to check the date of the earliest away game I can remember.
My dad booked us on the supporter's bus to Barrow - 11 January 1969 - a 2-1 win with goals from ( rather bizarrely ) Tony Bircumshaw & Brian Drysdale. For the teenagers out there, they were Pools full backs !

Funnily enough, I can't remember Pete ever going to a match! Mick Dempsey might be able to correct me on that.
Mr Honour's Left Foot - I'll speak to you tomorrow !!!

Pete was probably practicing cannonball footy shots or 100 mile an hour cricket bowling without any run up which is what I remember him for

The Kit Kat Kid · **Posted:** Sat Mar 18, 2017 9:19 pm

Think he would have been called for "chucking" !!

Hey a pass is a pass!

Not a grammer pass but hey in 1970 it meant a lot to me :dance:

The Kit Kat Kid · **Posted:** Mon Mar 20, 2017 10:48 pm

Not sure it was the best thing for me academically. I was certainly not Bill Meadows' best pupil that's for sure !!
Had some good times along the way, though.
Funnily enough, most of the guys I stand with at Pools were grammar school lads so at least they weren't seduced by the egg chasers.

Aye, Bill Meadows, one of my favourites too, as was Nick Hayes. Who can forget the Bwana? He would sort out the indiscipline we have in schools now.

Joe Gill. Can't remember him playing as I didn't start going until the next season but I remember his name.

This must have been one of the few Pools games where we had TWO sets of players with the same Surname..,..Gill (Joe and John) and Young (Ron and John).

Bet that didn't happen again until the Linighans/Linacres!

I was at Tunstall Court when Boss Howard came to morning assembly to tell us he was leaving, he started to cry, amusing to 12 year old, heartbreaking 45 years on.

I was one of the pupils at the opening of Tunstall Court Sept. 1954. Happy days surrounded by girls and football in the Park every dinner time.

Even having one pair of players with the same surname is fairly uncommon. I make it eight different combinations in league games since those days of Linighan and Linacre.

Darren Williams and Tony?

What, you mean two pairs of players with same first name? Like John Tinkler/MacPhail and Paul Cross/Dalton?

Kinda meant have we ever had 4 or say 5 of the same first name on the pitch?

Yeah, loads of times. We had half a dozen called "You're shite, you.." for ages. A load of "For Fucks Sake..." too.

Il guess that Compton, Barmby and Baldwin were all on field together for an easy 3? Must be some common names for 4s or 5s?

That's him. Only played five first team games but loved his time at the club and thought that three or four or that side were seriously good players. My Dad works for Pools now scouting on the academy side and still watches them half a dozen times a season when Sunderland are away. He is very fond of them for giving him a football league chance
