You are right about that game Prozac, i remember it clearly, funnily enough through my drug and beer filled youth that is one of the defining moments i remember like it was yesterday.

He was very quick...saw him playing for Huddersfield youth and never dreamed he would end up at Latics

 

Warhurst was quick though..nothing between them IMO

Shaw he could motor.

Warhurst - pretty fast too -but I recall a league players 100 yard race where each club had to send along a representative - our man was Ian Marshall.

Wasn't there a race between the fastest players of all clubs at the end of 89-90 season? Or am I dreaming this? I'm sure one of ours was in the final....

 

I have a similar recollection too. But i think for injury reasons we didn't actually compete. Wasn't it called the Rumblelows Sprint Challenge?

Hmm...yeh, the thing I was thinking about was League Cup related, I think.

 

Did Des Walker win it ?

Wayne Andrews was like s*** off a shovel, but when he got to the penalty area he either let loose with a s*** shot or went down like a sack of s*** with minimal contact from a defender...or a breeze...or the spinning of the Earth.
