"Watch Classic Matches Again"

[Joey66]

As I said Joseph to me the signings of the likes of him and Belfitt signalled the end of us as a big big club,I wonder how we went from signing the likes of Ball and the like to these ansolute cart horses

I am afraid the Catt was ill and had lost the plot Belfitt we actually sent a young David Johnson the other way pluis cash...

Labby hid the Catt in his office so the Legend story goes as Bernie the Bolt tucked into John Moores hamper given to the players as a Christmas gift - Bernie allegedly downed the bottle of whisky and decided it was time for a pay rise enquiry at Bellfield Catts office the CatT heard he was on the rampage hid in a wardrobe and told Labby to deal with him story goes he was flung on a groundsman trailer, and drove out by the groundsman in a tractor trailer back home totally inebriated sloshed with his hamper... next day he was sent back to Walsall for a cut price fee - thats the story circulated at the time - bernie of course denied it all.....

Its not Goodison...its away at The Hawthorns ?

Oh aye. The point still holds though I think. The Goodison pitch hAs been narrowed over the years. In fact I seem to recall reading a few years back that it is one of the narrowest in the league.

It will be only a yard or two narrower. Just checked, and there are only 5 EPL grounds narrower than GP. I can recall Walter Smith taking a couple of yards off its width and I don't think it was ever returned to its previous dimensions. Funnily enough, along with Palace and Wolves, we have the shortest pitch. Just 100m (the longest pitches are another 5m.

Great ball in by Dario, but the glare off his forehead definitely threw the marker on Jim Pearson {joking nice curling bouncy cross}
