I believe I remember him hitting the corner flag with a penalty back in the late 80's.
Might be mistaken though.

“You may not feel outstandingly robust, but if you are an average-sized adult you will contain within your modest frame no less than 7 X 10^18 joules of potential energy—enough to explode with the force of thirty very large hydrogen bombs, assuming you knew how to liberate it and really wished to make a point."

Remember him smacking one in off the post from 20 yards against Brighton at the old Goldstone Ground, which must have been 1987 i think (was the season we ended up losing to Charlton in the very first play offs)
That doesn't sound right. Frans Thijssen was playing football in the winter of 1983, not selling crabs.
In the 38 games in which ALB played in goal for us, we averaged 1.53 points per game which, had they been over the course of a single season, would have seen us challenging for the play offs. This at a time when we were otherwise struggling against relegation.
Oh, and didn't Mick Mills have terrific posture.

There’s one game at Portman road, can’t remember who it was against, but there was a moment when he had the ball just into our half with only the keeper in their half... and the expectation as he went forward with the ball to go one on one, but failed to beat the keeper is one memory I have of him. Anyone else remember that and fill in the blanks of my memory?
I can't believe you're accusing Fergal of making something up.
I would never do that. Actually I think it is great that he was able to take time out from his African bike ride to post this.

That's a very good point. Even Mickey Stockwell was building up his business In his spare time and Steve Whitton's driving school was still in its infancy 😉
He couldn't have stayed fit commuting from Cromer to Ipswich regularly.

Running, maybe? Cycling? Pedalo along the North Sea coast?
The only time I have seen a pedalo along the North Sea coast was when the Aberdeen to Shetland ferry broke down and Fergal stepped in to rescue the day by not only providing a relief service but also organising all 182 passengers and crew to form an inverse human pyramid with the strongest man at the bottom filling in the space behind Fergal. How that never made the Six o'clock news I will never know. Especially as he achieved a record journey time of ten minutes and twenty seven seconds...against a force six head wind...while being attacked by sea monsters...armed with thermo-nuclear weaponry...
