• Went to replay, Macedo who was a brilliant keeper had a nightmare and probably cost us the game (NT) -- Ken, Monday, June 30, 05:30:19pm (33C63E8e.skybroadband.com/51.198.62.142)

• Great writer. Haven't read this one yet but loved Damned United and the Red Riding books set around the time of the Yorkshire Ripper (NT) -- Kenny, Monday, June 30, 05:37:42pm (97e42664.skybroadband.com/151.228.38.100)
  • Agree with all - thanks to OP for pointing it out, just ordered. (NT) -- woodman, Monday, June 30, 05:40:39pm (NoHost/46.31.84.144)

• I'm a friend of Wilf McGuinness and his family. Wilf missed the plane crash because he had a broken leg at the time. Great bloke and was Booby Charlton's best mate, but sadly has dementia now, (NT) -- GA, Monday, June 30, 08:43:11pm (ool-18b90125.dyn.optonline.net/24.185.1.37)
  • Sorry to hear that about Wilf. Someone I know was related to Billy Whelan, one of the players killed. (NT) -- Bexhill Beast, Monday, June 30, 08:58:49pm (host86-178-108-150.range86-178.btcentralplus.com/86.178.108.150)
    • it was all so very sad and tragic. (NT) -- GA, Monday, June 30, 09:22:04pm (ool-18b90125.dyn.optonline.net/24.185.1.37)
      • The bit I find most sad is the story of the pilot on the day. He survived the crash only to die later in hospital, but by the time he died the public had started to blame him for the accident, and he died before the enquiry stated the cause as a build up of slush on the runway. He had won medals in the war for bringing German planes and a V2 rocket down. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Monday, June 30, 10:23:18pm (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
        • V2? (NT) -- Barry@ENF, Tuesday, July 01, 10:18:27am (NoHost/84.66.32.133)
          • Sorry, yes it was a V1 'doodlebug'. My Mum said if you heard the engine cut, shy of your house, then that was the time to worry. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Tuesday, July 01, 10:57:56am (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
            • Exactly that. With typical understatement of that generation, my mother said the V1's were not a problem all the time you could hear them - this from Wembley/Willesden! Whereas my father in North Africa with the Eighth Army described being bombed in the desert sand as not particularly troublesome unless they scored a direct hit and that my mother had it worse in the Blitz. They met a couple of years after the war. (NT) -- Barry@ENF, Tuesday, July 01, 11:57:57am (NoHost/84.66.32.133)
              • Same as my parents, except my Dad had a safe RAF stationing out in India. My Grandmother was beside herself one afternoon because the V1's could be heard above, and my 15 year old Mum was in the local New Southgate cinema with a boyfriend. Not sure if it was the V1 or the boyfriend's intentions she was worried about?. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Tuesday, July 01, 01:09:49pm (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
              • We lived where Harlesden runs into Stonebridge.Cross London freight line at the bottom of our road.Massive power station by the track.We were surrounded by bomb sites. (NT) -- HemelRog, Tuesday, July 01, 05:55:22pm (NoHost/31.94.14.50)
                • I think my mother’s family were in Stonebridge - I’m trying to remember the name of the road. I recall they still had an Anderson shelter in The garden for years after the war. (NT) -- Barry@ENF, Wednesday, July 02, 01:50:19am (NoHost/84.66.32.133)
                  • Remember we had an Andersen shelter in the garden. (NT) -- HemelRog, Wednesday, July 02, 10:16:43am (NoHost/31.94.14.139)
  • Sorry to appear pedantic. Peace writes that McGuiness was recovering from a cartlidge operation. Perhaps he got it wrong? (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Tuesday, July 01, 11:06:02am (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)

• Was at the Villa semi final at holt end 2-2. Couldn’t make Highbury but recall we were robbed by an offside gpal. Only 11 at the time and they had not really recovered from Munich tragedy. Think highlights on you tube. (NT) -- CB, Monday, June 30, 10:58:34pm (213-18-176-223.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.223)
  • Fair play to you and Ken. You must be two of the most senior supporters on this site, with at least 67 years of following Fulham FC. The changes that have happened in the game, for good or worse, in those times! (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Tuesday, July 01, 09:58:07am (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yNOo5_nO5M. Check out our 'offside'?? goal that would make it 4-4 (NT) -- CB, Tuesday, July 01, 01:54:11pm (213-18-176-223.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.223)

• Wasn't born but I understand it was played on a midweek afternoon, and bizarrely screened on TV, we were quite unlucky across the piece, but even more so in 1962 when we were cheated by an outrageous refereeing decision... some things never change. (NT) -- Rupert, Tuesday, July 01, 10:37:20am (5ec142b4.skybroadband.com/94.193.66.180)
  • Shall never forget the Ref in that game, robbed. (NT) -- Al, Tuesday, July 01, 02:31:42pm (cust-141-195-150-115.jurassic-fibre.net/141.195.150.115)
  • Mo Cook run our local about 100 yards from our house.Was still peed off about it when he died. (NT) -- HemelRog, Tuesday, July 01, 06:00:17pm (NoHost/31.94.14.50)
