John Byrne, John Keeley, Paul Rogers, Guy Butters, Darren Freeman, Richard Tiltman and others who played for Ian Hart's Spare Parts at Worthing United today in aid of former Utd 17yr old George Dowell who was paralysed from the chest down after a road accident om April. A 5 all draw with the...

Dropped Ms Harty off on her first hols this am. Got me thinking.......... Have you ever met a footballer on holiday? In 1988 in Arenal met Lee Glover of Notts Forest and Ian Mcdonald capt of Aldershot!!!!!!!

Does anyone know what happened to the bloke that ran this? I lent him some stuff from the Goldstone but have never had it back.

Any tips? Its nearly 3am, but I'm still 9pm mexican time, having to watch Secret Army on Alibi!

Won't bore you with the details and am to old and thick to try and work it out in the time required but can anyone please tell me with inflation what would £85 from February 1988 be worth today? Thanks Harty

For me its Cruyff, saw him at Wembley Feb 1977 when he tore England apart, it was sublime having watched it on video a few years later his was actually pointing out to his teamates where he wanted them to run to and where he was going to pass it.

If your picking the best ever Albion team, at least the players you have watched live, is it on ability or at the level the players played at? A heated debate ensued at the break at the cricket on Friday, whilst i have happy memories of both Peter Ward and Bobby Zamora, I still maintain that as...

As the new England boss Don Revie invited the top 50 English footballers to a two day get together in Manchester in the summer of 1974 to outline his plans. I know things didn't pan out back then but would the next England manager struggle to muster 50 Englishmen of quality to have simular meet up?

Sunk like the Belgrano.........

In light of their one all draw with NZ I wonder if they will have a field day like ours have had for the last couple of days? Sir Geoff Hurst put it all into perspective last night when he recalled 1966, and one sunday paper had a front page line, "England win World Cup, see back page'. How...

In hindsight was it a mistake not to take him?

Does anyone have the entire set of Gulls Eye Issue 1 August 1988 to Issue 100 April 1997, including the 9nil Palace special from Sept 1989, and the two editions of Gulls Ear from Sept/Oct 1990? Roy Chuter needs them for a book he is writing, if anyone has them we can pay for you to take them...

Can't believe its 28 years since he died. Had he lived would he have gone on to be one of the biggest box office stars in the world?

Does he want the fight with either of the Klitsko's, or is he looking at a domestic showdown to end Audrey's glittering career? With Harrison being a gooner could they fight at the Emirates Sept/Oct or perhaps Haye's New Den?

I see notorious child sex killer Roy Whiting has had his 50 year jail term cut to 40 years at the court of appeal. With all this talk of public spending cuts how much did this whole charade cost the tax payer? IMHO he gave up all his human rights the moment he snatched that little girl, why...

Gripping gun crime drama, in light of Whitehaven I bet ITV execs thought long and hard about putting this one on this week.

I see Joe Cole has been released the Chelsea, is this with immediate effect? If so does that mean he cannot play for England as a free agent? I saw a film about 1966 and it explained Moore's contract had run out at West Ham and he was rumoured to be joining Spurs after the tournament but it...

Is this the first time for over 50 years that we've gone with a squad to a finals with only one real world class player?

Speaking at the Chestnut Tree lunch yesterday Albion legend Stevens claimed that Diego Maradona performance in the 1986 world cup quarter final was 'enhanced'. Shame he wasn't tested at the time, we might have gone on to win it!

Shocking as the events in Whitehaven are can we not as a nation seperate fact and fiction? And what's the betting ITV do a docu drama about what happened yesterday within the next 5 years?
