Our current dressing room won’t have anywhere near that amount of heart of grit sadly.

Good to see that spirit again. Nasty graze on the ankle in that that dressing room shot. Nowadays he would be taken off, 6 weeks on the table, another 6 in rehab before gently being allowed back into the grass.

Billy Ayre was only 47 years old in that video, passed away two years later. One of a kind, used to wear a full Blackpool strip when he was manager there, while in the dugout. Full strip as well, with the no 15 0n the back.

Only a couple of years later we beat them 7-1 there. Remember one of my teachers at the time was an Oldham fan, wasn't happy on the Monday.

Yeah not the outcome we wanted but at least a bit of fight on the way down.

I was at Gillingham the night we got relegated.

Indeed. Teams tend to get relegated more because they weren't good enough not because of a lack of fight. You can have all the grit and fight and leadership in the world but if you're not good enough it matters diddly squat.

The league table is a pretty good way of seeing how good or bad a team is in the division - funny that. Every season there are teams who "shouldn't be up there" or "won't stay up there" yet do, and teams that "are too good to be at the bottom" or "look at the players they have, they shouldn't be down there" yet get involved in relegation battles.
