In the 60's we had a keeper called Bob Wesson who was often barracked by the crowd as he would make a fair few blunders. My dad said he was great one game but woeful the next. Anyway we went to Molineux to see us play Wolves and as I was only a young lad it was the first time I'd seen Wesson in...

I've got Staying Up in my collection so I'll have another browse of the book.

I'm on a quest now to read it again ! He also in the book writes sarcastically about his dislike for Blockley. Who played for us and the Gunners.

I'm sure he does mention the Hutch goal and has a sly pop at us. I'll have to see if I can get hold of a copy and have another read ? But I do recall enjoying reading it.

Obviously not an Arsenal fan but I've read Fever Pitch; and it is a brilliant read. I think it's rated as one of the best ever football books. Read it some years back and Hutch's goal is featured, if I recall he has a sarcastic dig at our club in a chapter ? Snobby Arsenal fan bit up himself ! 😣

First season back will be all about consolidation. It's a very tough division with some good teams in it and some who know the Championship well. We will have to settle in as we haven't played at this level for awhile, so I expect a fair few defeats but we may also surprise many with good...

I only discovered him recently and he is the real deal. He's Katie Taylor's trainer the woman world champion boxer. He is rated highly also in the fitness world. I've watched some of his YouTube training programmes, and great for indoor and outdoor work outs. He shows that you don't need a lot...

If unable to get to the gym and fancy some home fitness , check out a boxing and fitness coach called : Ross Enamait. Online and Facebook etc. No frills or bullshit like many just gets on with it.

Don't go to a gym but used to go to a couple years ago. I put a stone of weight on during the lockdown and felt sluggish. But due to being back on the window cleaning round I shifted the extra weight. Also have done some long walks too which has helped. I've always like doing press ups ! Bit...

Tough solid defender bought from Dunfermiline. Sure he had a nasty injury while playing for us ? I recall he got stuck in and a no frills player.

I played football for the school in the morning and a few of us went then to Highfield Road. My dad got locked outside the ground with thousands more, but we got in no problem. Sat right behind the goal at the covered end which later on became the West End. What a view we had. My dad was gutted...

Ernie Machin was a favourite player of mine. And what a shock I got when I ended up cleaning his windows when he was living on the Ansty Road. Smashing bloke and so modest about his football career, but the first time I spoke to him I was a bit in awe to be honest. Anyway i got to know him and...

He's a top pundit on tv and radio these days if it's the same one ?

I bet as a young kid like me you were sat on the touchline watching us beat Wolves, in the crowd of 51,000 ? Kept running on the pitch and at the end hearing that deafening roar as the final whistle went !

You started going same time as me. My dad no longer with us was a big fan of Ray Straw if I recall ? I remember Hewitt and yes Ian Gibson was some player. A goal he scored against Cardiff City at Highfield Road was one of the best I've seen, an absolute screamer.

I forgot he played twice for England.

He was a classy player for us. His ability on the ball stood out.

Before Otis names his player I thought to myself I bet it'll be Steve Hunt ? 🤔

73 years a fan ? I thought I was doing well at 60 years following the club ! Mega respect to you.
