I remember that moment like it was yesterday. From that you just new what a special talent Whitts had - true class 👌Quote:

Hard ground to get this type of result from, never mind a hat-trick

What skill to set up Chop’s goal.
We were privileged to have Whitt’s
Whitts was class. It's a wonder how we managed to hold on to him for so long.
I know it's petty in the grand scheme of things, but still pissed off we haven't given Whitts a send off because of COVID.
It has to happen, has to!!!!!Quote:

Great game. Great ending too, my nerves were absolutely shot! Remember groaning at the 5(?) mins off added on time, the lad next to me said "don't worry, they need two goals", they immediately scored and everyone just glared at him :hehe:Quote:

To slightly misquote Corporal Jones, "they didn't like it up them" - a bit frail mentally and also judging by what you hear on that Jon Parkin podcast, the traditional November slump was not a coincidence.Quote:

I have a DVD on my shelf that was made about Graham Kavanagh surely Whitts deserves one - one for the club to get hold of as part of any memorial tribute etc for when we are back in he ground - surely players would be queuing up to contribute to this as would fans in terms of buying it.?Quote:

One of my favourite disallowed goals at the death there, definitely offside BIG SCREEN or no BIG SCREEN:hehe:Quote:

Skill in abundance but something else must have been missing.Quote:

Whitts death is one that still hurts, I've not experienced too much death in my life and that given what a young man he was.
Also I felt quite protective over him as there were some fans around me in the stadium in the last few years who used to slag him off. That and although I never met him used to spend 2 hours with him every week for 10 years
Head and shoulders above everyone else.
Nice post :thumbup:Quote:
