Scoular made some excellent signings in his time, but it’s a fact that we spent more time struggling against the drop in his nine years with us than we did going for promotion - his short time at Newport after leaving us was a bit of a disaster as well
    Prior to Goldstone, he was with us for 9 years with little or no financial backing from the Dewey brothers, so it was always going to be a struggle but towards the end of the 60's our league position started to improve and but for the Toshack sale, who knows how far he may have taken us.

    Interestingly, we mentioned Foggon in an earlier post so I thought I'd google him. I was astonished to find he netted 45 times in 115 games for Middlesbrough after he left us. Something not quite right there.

    Didn’t he also win the Fairs Cup with Newcastle as well?

    He was still fat(tish) at Middlesbrough - he went on to play for Manchester United didn’t he.
