Yard Dogs was a term Frizz used for us when he was in temporary charge at Citeh (where he was general manager). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick82 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 No mention that he tried getting a group of ex players to sue the club for injuries caused because of the plastic pitch though........funny that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yard Dogs was a term Frizz used for us when he was in temporary charge at Citeh (where he was general manager). Yeah, when we won 2-1 at maine Road in 1987. A year later and we had hundreds of inflatable black and white dogs in the Chaddy end. That's a really brilliant article by the way. Brought back a lot of memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 There's a fair few who decry those that "live in the past", but for those of us that were around in the "pinch me" years, it will never leave the memory. As said, you can't take that away. Great article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, when we won 2-1 at maine Road in 1987. A year later and we had hundreds of inflatable black and white dogs in the Chaddy end. That's a really brilliant article by the way. Brought back a lot of memories. I didn't have a yard dog. I had a 5 foot inflatable cigarette that I drew a happy Mondays logo on the tip in coloured felt tips. Madness. Why the hell did we take all that :censored: in the ground? I couldn't see the game for dogs most of the time. Mind you, we did that much bouncing around in the chaddy I probably only saw about 20 minutes of any game! Great days, oh how I miss them.

underdog Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What we did that season is unmatched, I think now did I witness most of that....and Feguson how lucky you were, something like been there 7 seasons and had not produced a trophy.

jsslatic Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Good read, even for those who joined the party post-94. Ackey and I met Mike Milligan in a pub last year, top bloke. Now scouting for Norwich IIRC and was doing some work for the FA. Out of interest, there seem to be two programme covers for the 1990 Everton game on that article, was that commonplace?!

LaticsPete Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Good read, even for those who joined the party post-94. Ackey and I met Mike Milligan in a pub last year, top bloke. Now scouting for Norwich IIRC and was doing some work for the FA. Out of interest, there seem to be two programme covers for the 1990 Everton game on that article, was that commonplace?! Interesting. My programme for the first match, 17th Feb , has the Earl Barrett photo, whilst the one for the second replay , 10th March, is the Frankie Bunn one. The same Frankie Bunn photo appeared on the programmes for the 3rd Rnd replay v Birmingham, and the 4th Rnd v Brighton. Earl Barrett on the 6th Rnd programme v A Villa.

You can still see some among the Citeh fans. My yard dog got bit by a police dog at West Brom in the '88-'89 season and burst. Which was probably for the best as about a month later they were passé. Perhaps in his own simple way he was trying to tell me something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
