Little bit of reflection....

Re: Little bit of reflection....

I do, boss! Joe's was eve more of a dive with feet off the ground so he was parallel to the floor if I remember correctly.

There's a super photo out there somewhere, would love to see it again if someone can find it.

I thought that this picture was featured in one of the photo books produced by Richard Shepherd, but I can't find it in the 47-71 volume. Strangely, there are a number of photos of diving headers, but they are all of Derek Tapscott. I know the one you mean, though, and I eventually found it on page 68 of John Crooks' Official History of the Bluebirds. Great photo.

I remember Joe Dwyer tackling Norman Hunter with his head.

I remember his stomach tackle which left 2 Fulham players on the ground requiring treatment.

Oh dear

FFS ... you're probably not old enough to remember the days when 'Joe' Dwyer & 'Danny' Showers were gods.

Why are you replying to me FGB?

Perhaps you should read the thread properly.

Re Ralls, I've always though he was average but after watching Vaulks and Bacuna in the week, he looks like Bryan Robson!

Imagine Joe Royle up front alongside Danny Kaye eh, if somebody told you they’d witnessed that, they’d be a right Walter Mitty

Apologies ... senior moment.

I thought you were agreeing with someone who questioned Phil Dwyer's nickname.

If we are talking diving headers, this one was pretty good too - (10mins)

Re: Little bit of reflection....

Great clip.....we looked a very happy lot then(!). Must say I was taking in the old ground as much as the game.....lovely to see again, despite all it's problems.....

Re: Little bit of reflection....

How we could do with a Joe Dwyer character today. Or perhaps not, as he would be regularly red-carded I suspect!
