Ralls makes such a difference in midfield....and Morrison shows he is truly committed....knew what he was doing taking the yellow card.... his header reminded me a little (but not as good as...) of Joe Bonson's header away to Leyton Orient 1959/60 when we won 4-3 there!!! hey...how many remember that one!!?
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.Quote:

If fit Morrison and Ralls are key players for us. I really don’t think Morrison has been fully fit this season so those games out may be just what he needed.
I was told some years ago that we were playing at Ninian Park in dreadfully wet conditions when Joe Bonson raced towards the ball which was on the edge of the penalty area, slipped and sat on it and he and it hit the net.Quote:

Totally agree both very good players.Quote:

'Joe' was his nickname.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.....
How we could do with a Joe Dwyer character today. Or perhaps not, as he would be regularly red-carded I suspect!
That was a team and a half. Great times.Quote:
