Re: County memories
166Hey Frank, how about doing Tommy Tynan, for the oldies but the young ones should know about him if they don’t already.
More than happy to do so.pembsexile wrote:Hey Frank, how about doing Tommy Tynan, for the oldies but the young ones should know about him if they don’t already.
I've amended the article for Allen, unable to change the title itself though - will see if Wikipedia accepts the source (the Argus article on his death) or whether it will revert, and if they choose to amend the name in the page title as well, as I've flagged it in my edit comments.pembsexile wrote:Just looked mate.

Just looked on Wiki and they have him down as Alan.
Also they have him as still with us.
No idea how you can amend Wiki details but I read somewhere you can?
Anybody know

One of the issues will be that the source data for his appearances, which contains the misspelt name, cannot be edited as it was previously maintained by someone who themselves passed on it 2015.

That's for tomorrow then.
Hope traffic is okay for those going up the M5 this afternoon.
Cheers

Spent a fair time researching Tommy.
Started typing it up and family turned up.
By the time I clicked submit the thread it must of timed out and all lost.
Will have another try tomorrow
Cheers
Not a problem - have now found at least 3-4 other sources for the name spelling which link with DoB and County, and also updated to record his date of passing.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Much appreciated.
Frank - you might want to change it to Cup Winners' Cup, and I assume CZ J weren't East German champions or they would have been in the European Cup.Frank Nouble 3 wrote: Financial miss management meant Tommy was sold to Plymouth for £55K

I'm not sure it can be argued the club was financially mismanaged. Maybe the problem was we couldn't really afford players as good as Tynan in the first place, which would be mismanagement of a sort but if so, then selling him was actually prudent. Any club buying players off us at that point would have had us by the short and curlies.
I don't think enough is said about the impact on our finances when the league changed its rules and home clubs got to keep their own gate money, when previously it had been shared. I don't know what the proportion was, but I doubt it was 50/50.
The thing that illustrates our decline for me is that when we played at Oxford in the near-miss season at Easter 1983 we had Steve Lowndes wearing 7, and when we went back there six months later it was Eugene Martinez.
As previously mentioned, memory blurs with age. However, in my memory banks I have the picture of Oxford paying £40k for Aldo. No idea about the fee for Tommy though, don’t know why.Frank Nouble 3 wrote:Think we got less for Tommy than we paid for Waddle.
Always thought we only got about £10k from Oxford for Aldo and if so what we paid for Johnson? was madness.
