Yes I do. Not last season as there was on pandemic. But since living in Ireland I've usually managed 5 or 6 games a season.

I've never been an ordinary anything.

He was unbelievable. A fast Shearer is how I would describe him. A nothing League Cup game if I remember. Luton had tabled a £100k( worth about £10m I suppose today, for a 4th Division player).

I saw Tynon, Aldridge..etc. You know when you meet that lonely guy in the corner of the pub and he says, ay but ye never saw Goddard.

Portsmouth at home and he came on as substitute and lofted the ball over their keeper from around the half-way line. I'm not sure he played after that. My memory fails me but I think he may have sustained further damage during the game and had to call it's quits. A truly wonderful player that I've often felt privileged to have seen play.
