.... I hope you use this stuff, Thornsy...

[EFC_Callum]

what year was that!

[Electric ~soul~]

1987/88 season!

 

 

[EFC_Callum]

geez........

 

thought it was a bit retro.......

[Electric ~soul~]

Retro!? That was my era, mate!!

[EFC_Callum]

what era was retro then 80's i thought!

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah, you're right. The 80s rocked.

 

Thornsy's 80s were ruined though, by Maggie Thatcher.

 

I'm currently studying the 87/88 season. We finished 13th - so no changes there, then.

 

We lost a lot of players after the 87 Cup Final. Hoddle and Ardiles both moved on, and Clemence retired early in 87/88.

 

Clive Allen only scored 13 goals in 87/88 compared to his record-breaking 49 the previous season.

 

Actually, 87/88 was when Pleat was found crawling the curbs of Luton, and El Tel took over in the November.

 

We signed Fairclough and Metgod pre-season (Metgod was meant to be the next Hoddle, but he failed miserably), and mid-season, around February, we signed Paul Walsh.

 

Got a feeling Chelsea were relegated that season too.

Garth Crooks still played though i bet......

 

Was spurs his only team?

[Electric ~soul~]

Garth Crooks left in 1985.

 

Went on to play for... hmmm.. was it Stoke, maybe? West Brom?

 

No, I think we signed him from West Brom.

 

Two secs...

[Electric ~soul~]

Okay...

 

We signed him from Stoke. Sold him to WBA.

[EFC_Callum]

CHEERS, i always thought he just played for us

[YELLOW]

Played for Charlton for a time.

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah, right at the end of his career - late 80s.

 

An excellent player in his fay, Garth Crooks. I saw him play on many an occasion.

 

He scored a brilliant header in the first ever Spurs match I went to - February 1982 vs Wolves. We won 6-1! Think he got a hat-trick. I was six!

 

That was also the first game with our new West Stand.

[EFC_Callum]

My first spur game was spurs 1-0 v qpr sat opposite stand to dugout, had my birthday on the scorboard even thoguh it wasnt my b'day! sheringham pen? prob 95/96 season.
