You beat me to it eic there's been nobody to match Johnny Mc.

John Sewell was a misnomer, a defender who never got booked much to the incredulity of Jack Charlton who I discussed it with once. The Duke played like he dressed, with panache!

lo Selhurst silva felix, lo Selhurst cara nutrix, viget, vigeat, vigebit! Best team:- Jackson; Gilbert, Evans, Cannon, Sansom; Hughes, Kember, McNichol; Byrne, Holton, Wright.

Easy,Jim Cannon simply the best.

I remember that Best/Evans incident as though it was yesterday Kerms.
Bad enough as it was, the thing that really made me feel physically sick was the way the little b*****d,having just deliberately gone over the top and got away with it,stood with ball in hand ready to take the resulting throw in,urging them to get Ian off as quick as possible.
How I hated that man from there on in!
As for Mike, in the relatively few appearances he made for us he was quality.

ps. I was delighted when Best got his liver transplant, as it just prolonged his physical and mental battle against the bottle.

Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? [Link]

I think that was the following season,if memory serves.
I do remember we lost both games though.2-3 and 0-1 I think.

The referee incident might well have been September 14th 1985.
Wrighty had come on as Sub.

Result 0-0 attendance 6,381.!!!!!!!
