Busby Finch and Dean Nyman

[Pavagrotti]

I have been reading Wingate and Finchley FC's Note on Dean Nyman and he have been with them for 4 years now and looks a solid signing. Others will remember him from his days with EFC.

 

There is less on the web about Busby Finch except on the EFC old web site and the pen of the great Dave Bromage. I remember him from Enfield FC days - I'm sure Jim Cuneen will tell us how many games Busby played for EFC etc.

I knew that you'd know the business thank you

Chaf-finch looks a better bet up front, but I bow to your ridiculous knowledge of the facts & figures!

 

Bring back The Cat!

So you reckon ETFC should stop pussy footing around and get Billy back? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[TB&G]

Shouldn't someone at ETFC take the lead on this? Or, if force doesn't work, perhaps a tin of Tuna would do the trick!

 

Incidentally I used to work with the famous 'Bob (The Cat) Bevan from whom you've appeared to steal Billy's nickname.

 

He might not be too happy that you've done so and sue you from his big pile of public appearance dosh.

Poster Bill

 

"Billy the cat" got his nick after standing in as goalkeeper when the original goalie got sent off and putting up a tremendous display.

 

"The Cat" is a nick which is also shared with Peter Bonnetti. Did Bob steal it from him.

[Mr Happy]

I think you'll find that the original keeper did not get sent off. There wasn't an original keeper as Hall was injured and the second choice keeper was away. That's why Billy filled in against Basildon.

[Arkwright]

That's correct Mr H

[bigboybubs]

I confer this. Chopper had the flu, and Nick Chistofi was on skiing holiday with his school, and Billy stepped in the last minute, and played the game of his life.

 

Lets start " bring back the cat campiagn."

[Chopper]

Your Correct Bubs i did have the flu & nick was away. so the cat stepped in.

[bigboybubs]

cheers chopper, i do have a purpose in life.

[MbrunoB]

Do you?

[andyetfc]

Thrown in more like and as all cats do, he landed on his feet!

 

Mind you, the defence looked after him for over 90 minutes. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Steph]

I think that is a bit grudging Andy. He had a good game in goal.

[Southport - TOWNER]

Steph - At least Andy remembered what happened. Amazing for a man of his age!

 

 

[Pavagrotti]

As I recall all town fans stressed with Jim and Phil before the match and we stressed throughout the match but Billy did give a good account of himself and we won!

I hear a little rumour that it is unlikely that eithter will turn out for ETFC this season

[Guest]

What rumour is it that you have heard. What about Lee Harvey will he be playing for the Town and what about the chap from the Ivory coast.

Any other possible signings?

[Guest]

No substance in the rumours rgarding imports from the Ivory Coast; must be confusing us with Basildon!!!
