    Yes. You are absolutely right. We were playing in the old Second Division at that time. The Football League Cup run for that season went like this: Round 1 a bye? Round 2 Millwall (H) 1-0 Round 3 Burnley (A)...

    Sorry The Wookiee. I see too many spirits and from the bottom of a bottle. They keep getting me in to trouble, so I'll leave your spirits well alone, thank you.

    This was out of the same episode. Derek and Rodney were being pursued through the Florida swamps by the local Maffia. They were up to their necks in, but were rescued by Boycie and Marlene, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, on a propellor driven craft. They had just been hauled aboard when...

    A song I remember was sung at Nottingham Forest, after we were defeated in a League Cup match.

    Oh you guys. I'm getting all emotional and angry at the same time. THOSE B..STARDS TOOK AWAY OUR HERITAGE AND GAVE US NOTHING IN RETURN. I'LL NEVER FORGIVE STANLEY, ARCHER & BALLONEY. I concentrate on the road ahead or glance towards Hove Park when I drive past the site. No way will I ever...

    Another Goldstone name comes to mind. Dear old RON PAVEY and that bloody mike plugged in to the dug out underneath the West Stand. He used to be in full flow anouncing the winner of BHA Lottery and the damn thing was always cutting out. He used to resemble a Norman Clollier comedy sketch.
