    Now you are talking about a player who was never able to fulfil his potential.
    Remember his header from the edge of the penalty are to beat Moscow Torpedo?.

Like OBW I remember Tony Green being particularly impressive for Blackpool who had a strong team at the time including Alan Suddick, Jimmy Armfield and Tommy Hutchison.
    For those interested the teams were:

    City: Davies, Carver, Bell, Sutton, Murray, Derrett, Jones, Clark, Lea, Toshack, Bird. sub Phillips for Clark

    Blackpool: Taylor, Armfield, Bentley, Craven, James, Alcock, Brown, Green, Suddick, Johnston, Hutchison.

    Scorer: Toshack (43mins). Att:24,206.

    They used to get local refs to take a look at the state of pitches to prevent wasted journeys back then.

    I wonder if they still do that.

    Yes. He cost £22.500 from Plymouth Argyle.

    He was THE blond bombshell, very skilful winger, for a jack, definitely would have gone on to greater things if it wasn't for that injury.

    " Bless Freddie Davies and Bless Peter King
    Bless Barrie Jones as he streaks down the wing ..."

    You boys got years on me but I do remember Gordon Owen pictured in the programme holding a microwave which he could just about hold as the prize for a competition. Similar model to the one used under the grandstand at the time.
