Blimey, we're not signing Neymar are we!?eaststandmike said:
They were indeed the days. Sadly the dross served up now does not compare, pink boots, hi-lighted hair and rolling around as if they have been shot.addick05 said:Tees and Ray Treacy - what a combination! Recall going to the Valley to seem them demolish Derby County 2-0 - couldn't wait to see it on TV later! Who remembers Ray's thunderbolt at Craven Cottage? Absolutely freezing that day. After he scored a Fulham fan commented that he bet he wouldn't score another one like that - a few minutes later Ray crashed in another shot that smacked against the bar - that shut the bloke up! Ah, those were the days.

We used to sing that on the Valley Away coach about 1971/2. Or maybe it was Lewises, I can't remember exactly now. lolblackpool72 said:Mars bars beanno' s and Ray Treacy.
Those were the days indeed
Saturday morning pickup at Eltham Church; we always bought the Beano and a couple of Mars Bars for breakfast.

The difference with Sir Matt was that he looked like a pipe cleaner. Anybody remember his header against Cardiff on Easter Friday morning 69. I haven’t seen one like it since. Floated in at the back corner of the penalty area and put it in like a bullet.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

Matt Tees & Rodney Green were bought from Grimsby and were both good headers of the ball. Sadly injuries meant that played a few games together.eaststandmike said:

They both ran in from the edge of the penalty area for corners. Impossible to mark.
Agree Ron Saunders was a very powerful centre forward.0 -

That's not Graham Moore ...... it's a pic of Alan Campbell, who played in midfield alongside him.

Bowyer ahead of Saturday
“We want to get through Saturday and get as many minutes into the players as possible,” he said. “We are going to try and get 80 per cent of them through 90 minutes and to start polishing up on things we have been lacking.
“Games like Saturday will push us to somewhere where we are not used to being pushed. Like Brighton, Norwich will be a side who move the ball and will challenge us in ways that teams in our league won’t challenge us.
“Tuesday night was a challenge, to ask the players to go into areas of the pitch where they are not used to closing people down. It was something way out of their comfort zone.
“Once they started doing what we were telling them to do, you could tell the difference straight away. Brighton stopped playing the ball around us, then we started to win the ball higher and started to create chances.
“We have shown the lads some clips of positive play from Tuesday and Norwich will be the same on Saturday. They will do things that we are not used to and it is about how we adapt to that. It’ll be good, I’m sure, and we’ll be able to see where we are fitness-wise too.”
