I think I go back to around 1996 as I can date it to when Brian Horton was Huddersfield manager and we won a crunch playoff contention game and I had to vent about it at the time, well next day at work. The board before the Teams one I think, basic but worked. Thank goodness for work computers, certainly didn't have a home computer at that point. |

A fact from my geography lessons from the 1970's was something called the East Anglian Heights which we had to religiously draw on our hand-drawn maps as a big splodge somewhere near the Fens. I've spent the last 50 years trying to find them ! |

Poor Billy Sanders, such a good rider such a sad end. Loved him as a kid. Him and Ted Howgego. John Louis was the main man though. |

Quite the football philosophy gap between McKenna/Carrick and Mou. Mixed messages to footballers etc must have hastened Mourinho's departure. |

I remember Coventry being ultra physical, (our old friend Fat Sam Allardyce was involved) as they were looking to force an equaliser. Mariner was crocked for a lot of the seond half and was hobbling around but couldn't come off as we'd made our sub. Plenty of fan anger at that point, so when Dozell got his goal it was a big release as it made the game safe and of course joy for young Dozzer, think the goal was quite late on. Not surprised that it was Mariner's last game for us given his injury. We always had a pretty thin squad, even in the glory years, Brennan was a good addition but a bit lightweight and Putney was limited but perfect for Norwich where he ended up. We did miss Brazil and and the Dutch guys and O'callaghan was never a proper fit. Looking at the player ages I was suprised how young the average age still was; the back line averaged only 25, the oldest guys, Cooper and Mariner were 30. The only aging player we had and moved on was Micky Mills and that was a mistake as he had plenty of life left in him as he proved when he joined Southampton. We were short of money but there was still the making a good side if strengthened with the odd canny freebie particularly in midfield. We went for the wrong Ferguson, Bobby Ferguson was not the right choice and it's a shame the Cobbolds didn't chase Alex Ferguson harder, though I doubt he would have left Aberdeen as they were flying at the time. |

Reply | Songs that were on the “wrong album”

Another couple
Def Leppard song " On Through the Night" appeared on High ' n Dry rather than the preceding album "On Through The Night"
AC/DC song "If You Want Blood You've Got It" was released on " Highway to Hell" then they used the same name for the live album "If You Want Blood You've Got It" released about the same time. Not quite the same but still odd. |
