    I know we finished bottom of Division 2 without winning away all season and lost 6-0 in the Cup to Wrexham. Sounds almost as bad as last season!

    My cousin was the mascot for the last home game against Swansea (lost 2-1) got to the ground double early, met John Toschack before the game and thought I'd never met anyone taller! Remember being very jealous as he got the full Bukta kit, which in my mind has never been bettered.

    My sister knocked herself out on the terracing at the West Ham game, which we actually won 1-0.

    I think we should have played Wolves in the cup but it was read out wrong at the draw.

    The season we sunk like a stone and manager Andy Nasty Nelson was at last fired.

    How we can we blow up the picture, I should be able to identify most of them, if only I could see them...... :-)

    The day that photo was taken, the club invited some children along (or perhaps it was some sort of open day) and I have basically the identical photo with five kids sat at the feet of the players on the front row (meincluded, aged 6).

    I've got the same problem...if only I could see them!! Martin Robinson is next to Killer, on our left. Looks like Graham Tutt is the keeper. Now, anybody got a magnifying glass??

    New York Addick it was an open day I think. Me and my brother also had our photo taken with the team. Have got it indoors with the teams signatures. I wore Dave Shipperley's shirt which came down past my toes.

    There's me thinking you were wearing your special prescription glasses, Henry! ;-)

    David Campbell was the 19 year old youngster who quit after one savage dressing room humilation too many by Nelson.

    Alan Dugdale.....Jeez, I'd forgotten him!
