I was just reporting what I had read on the other forum as there was no mention on here . Didnt mean to upset anybody. Sorry if it came over a bit OTT. It was an awkward phone call to say the least last night asking about his presence or not. Anyway good news this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever that was. Thanks, it was at Maine Road so would have missed that. Denis Law subbed by Barney Daniels who had just been signed from Ashton United. I can see why he called it a day. I went to the Hearts game at home and remember a tartan army of their fans marauding down Sheepfoot Lane before the game, It was like something out of Clockwork Orange. 11, 000 crowd too for a night match.

A pity we couldn't transfer that away form to league games that season (0 wins from 21 fixtures, only Scunthorpe had a worse record in the entire Football League, and they finished bottom of Div 4).

Summerdeep Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) On the subject of the earlier posts about Keith Bebbington, I'm glad as well that he's still okay - a very talented winger who served the club well for six years and could have played at a higher level (indeed had already done so). One memory I have of him is from the start of the 1970-71 season, when he stepped out onto the pitch sporting a Mexican or South American style moustache. I think this might have been a conscious attempt to resemble Roberto Rivelino, who wore the number 11 shirt for the all-conquering Brazil side in the World Cup a couple of months earlier, and whom most football fans abroad were seeing for the first time. The resemblance was quite a close one if you look at some old photos. Edited July 5 by Summerdeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Just been watching the Class of 92 full time on Sky featuring Matt Smith at Salford. Also showed a well taken goal by our new signing Harry Charsley when at Port Vale. Good to see a midfielder in the penalty area. Highlights of the Latics home match v Salford shown including the AL pitch invasion. Edited July 11 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Oldham rejection (apparently for being too small) Stockport took him on and he loves it there, 5' 9" and 11st so not too small now I'd say. He still lives in Oldham.
