FenwayFrank 2,467 Posted March 6, 2019 I used to go down to Colney regularly when Worthy was there, Steve Foley once let me into the canteen to get some stuff signed. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,514 Posted March 6, 2019 Just watched this NN & immediately thought of you, so not surprised to see this thread! What a smashing chap he is - just the type NCFC always seems to attract. This really is a special club. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However thought we were laughing at PL when he invited the Ipswich legends back to their gaff, just saying There's a bit more relevance here though with the parallel of chasing the same prize Worthy delivered in 2004. Digging out Butcher, Mills et al as a cheap PR stunt is just smoke and mirrors to buy favour with the fanbase and deflect from the sh!te they are in.

kick it off 1,952 Posted March 6, 2019 Absolutely love Worthington. The bloke just oozes class and really nice to see that Webber brought him in. Seems to be a bit of a culture at the club of having these motivational speakers in, they had that SAS bloke in the other week too. Whatever they're doing is certainly working. I know Worthy's time here ended acrimoniously but what he accomplished should never be underestimated. He just had the midas touch that season we went up. Everything he touched turned to gold that year - Huckerby came down and lit a fire under everyone, McKenzie signed and scored 2 against the scum to put us top at PR within about 4 days of signing etc. The mistakes that were made after that season are well documented, but what he achieved with the resources he had was unbelievable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The PUPs thread was early to give a bit more time to get the Swansea game picks in.🙃 We were both at Colney on a day the legend that is Ken Brown was there. You came as a deckchair....

I think Butcher was there because they broke his heart. TBF had they gone to him instead of Lambert they might have made a better fist of staying up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 664 Posted March 7, 2019 I think it's good to see old players and managers invited back for an occasion like this, even though Worthy's last season and a half here was quite bitter, I doubt any of us could ever forget that 2003-04 season and his achievements at the club. And he knows what he's talking about, I remember that season, probably around March time then he said "We will get promoted" and it was never in doubt, so let's hope for the same again this year. Not one "know what I mean?" though. Disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,541 Posted March 7, 2019 Nor any "sit..u...a...shun" in there either. The Norfolk air I suppose (hasn't he lived in Weybourne for many years?). Great season 03/04. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 520 Posted March 7, 2019 There's been a real effort to engage the fans / the history of the club etc this season. It's been brilliant. Ignoring the final months, Nigel Worthington was good for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 758 Posted March 7, 2019 Yep Kathy. was the standout highlight of the old printed edition and would hold its own today . Very different to the usual writing. He was able to focus on topics of immediate interest to fans, in an entertaining & irreverent style. Oh , and I’d like to correct my phrase above to “men & women in the stands“!

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 7, 2019 Whatever happened in those final weeks, the man saved us in his first season, got us to the playoffs, promoted after so many wasted years Nothing but happiness when the man's name is mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That memory has come to my mind a couple of time recently. I remember not being sure at the time whether that was a sensible tactic or not. I have found myself wondering lately whether Farke would consider issuing such a proclamation. To date DF has been very much about keeping the feet on the ground.
