The pic is from 1976/77 and so it can't be Livermore (though it does look like him). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,748 Posted January 14 No 8 in the back row looks to me like Roger Gibbons and is it not Neil Davids in the middle row 6th from the right with the blonde hair ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbins is a good spot. Minus the tache & perm he looks very different! Davids is another thumbs up. And I'm now certain that is Fleeting next to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think there's many still alive who saw these guys play I didn't go in 52/53 but I started going in 56/57 and most of them were still there. Half of them played in our famous cup run.

Before I went off to the match I used to get my fish n chips at Valori's in Rose Lane on Saturday lunchtimes because my grandparents lived just round the corner in King St. Cod and chips for a shilling (5p) Happy days There is a current racehorse called Gavin and I always back it when it runs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great laugh, hard full back from Yorkshire. That does look like Neil David’s , signed from Leeds United. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if City fans were whining when we were drawn away to Man Utd, as Liverpool ? Were their cretins trying to organise a protest because NCFC were a mid-table, second tier club ? No. That entitlement was to come years later. Back then it was about supporting your club, through thick and thin. Shame we have dragged in these whiners.

Totally different circumstances. 57 years ago we’d never been in the top division and Man Utd were one of, if not THE most famous and successful club in the world. The likelihood was that we’d be tonked. Even the Eastern Evening News felt that a 3-0 defeat would be a decent result. Since 1972 we’ve enjoyed football of a much higher standard. Is it such a sin to now feel some entitlement ? Our football club has slipped so alarmingly in such a short space of time it’s not surprising fans are fearful of a cricket score at Anfield should we get through on Wednesday. That’s by no means a given. The bookies make us only marginal favourites to do so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted January 15 I was at Gigg Lane that night too Nutty. We were in their social club sitting with some Shakers fans and I teased a young lad saying if he wore my scarf that team would win. It wasn’t me who had the last laugh… Classic FA Cup upset although we were all over them at the end. Doherty really should have netted with that last gasp effort. I didn’t begrudge them the win and after what happened to them later it was the least they deserved. Can’t believe it was 16 years ago… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
