“..worm his way”??
I couldn't either. I always thought he wasn't good enough for us and a journeyman. We had a few duds round then...I still spent all my pocket money on them too !!Could never take to Mike Bernard........looked so overweight
The Catt had lost his touch - the signing of Bernie the Bolt summed it all up his health was waning should have been made to stand down, sadly he wasn't - & the bad signings just kept on coming Rod Bellfitt etc etc....I couldn't either. I always thought he wasn't good enough for us and a journeyman. We had a few duds round then...I still spent all my pocket money on them too !!
Can you send me my link from way back ?View attachment 184251
Joey. You recently posted this page of Rideout scoring v Norwich. I have tried to compare the photo with the video of the home defeat 1-5 Sep 1993 and this does not appear to be that goal. Are you able to advise the date the attached photo appeared in the programme so I can identify the match.
Thanks
Brian

Glad to be of service on this best site on the GOT - I had an idea you may copy them as the photos are excellent... I will have a look later what page no is it on ?1662754595870 Is this the one you need.
I can only see one game that we lost to Norwich in which Rideout scored but this photo appears to show him heading a goal yet he ran into space and hooked the ball home in that heavy defeat.
The quality of your photos is amazing. Most of the ones in my collection were scanned over ten years ago from a friends collection of programmes ( I had to "lose" my collection during downsizing moves) and the quality is nowhere near as good. I have been stealing your posts and copying them to upgrade those I have. Thanks for the great work you do.
Coming in late on this discussion but to me another footballer from after the war,and possibly before the war, Tom Finney of PNE was a better player than Stanley Mathews and more versatile, playing on both wings and as a centre forward, providing and scoring goals, he was also a two footed player whereas Stanley was manly a right footed player, only opinions I realise but I think many contemporary fans would also put Tom above Stan in their ratings.I've not seen a poll of experts/historians about who the greatest British footballer was between 1900-1950, but i'd be very surprised if Matthews wasn't the clear winner. He was definitely the stand-out global star from these shores, until eclipsed by Bobby Charlton (mainly due to TV and the world cup).

Found it 1993/94 season - in the Coca-Cola cup v Lincoln City - which we won 4-3 scores Paul Rideout hat trick & a Tony Cottee goal - took me an age by the way - give us a like for my efforts for you, It took an age to go back so far .....Bingo ! I found it on page 5555 posted Sep 9.
