Permit me to cast another vote for Bill Brown. A very talented No9 in the days when a physical presence was was sometimes preferred by the fans, than a skilled dribbler of the ball. Loved watching you play Bill.

Albeit a somewhat lengthy letter, it seemed to give an honest appraisal of how things stand right now, and to me it contained as much a level of optimism as is possible right now. Thanks for the update Mr Scally. UP THE GILLS.

I was there that day, and although we lost that leg, Hess's goal left me convinced we would win the overall tie.

Whenever I think of Tony Cas, I always get a flashback in my mind of him bearing down one on one with Neville Southall.

................ in making the play off finals. Been supporting The Gills since the mid 50's ( yes I am that old ) and it's great to see Brentford just one game away from The Premier League. I always used to view Brentford as as almost a local derby in the bottom two divisions .............. but...

Sky sports prediction was for us to win 2-1 and finish 9th. I'd have taken that, and would have seen it as our best season for a long time.

My first games date to the late 50's when I used to climb over the fence at half time so as to try and collect teacups. Why ?? Because there was a penny deposit on them, repayable on return. Most people would tell me where to go, but there were always some who would hand them over. On a good...

It any of you get BTSports 3, then 7am next Monday has an edition of The Big Match from 1974, featuring Gills v Charlton

Great result !! Played Sunderland 4 times this season, and haven't lost once II If only we could have seen off AFCW last weekend.

Before teletext, I remember hanging around after reserve games so as to hear the first team result over the tannoy.

It's not often we sign a striker who had scored a premier league hat trick for the away side at Old Trafford just 3 years previously. As I recall, Dennis Bailey was a skillful player, but never really made the headlines I was hoping for with us.

Winning 1-0 on a wet night at Newport to clinch the Div4 title. A typical performance of that time when the Freddie Cox style throughout that entire season was all about " if we dont concede, then we wont lose".

What surprises me is that never was there any blame attached to the decision to cage fans in enclosed spaces with no simple way of escape. Such fencing was speedily removed from all grounds soon after this awful event.

Funny that right now, the votes cast add up to the same 52/48 as the referendum

Harry Hughes. His run up started at or near the half way line, and woe betide any keeper who tried to stop one.

In 1997, Tony Blair won what was called a "landslide victory" with a little over 13 million votes. Those who today work to dismiss the votes of 17 million are swimming in dangerous waters.

Dont see the point of a ''deadline'' where if it's not met, it's merely prolonged, or [ as in Brexit ] it's continually extended.

A point ahead of both Sunderland and Portsmouth. I'll settle for that at the end of the season

I dont care about his past, or his ''white line fever''. All I care about is does he have a passion for us to win, and he is able to transfer that to the players.

Hate to admit it, but I was there on 30th April 1964 when we needed to win without conceding a goal to will the Div4 title. It was a game so typical of many others in that season under Freddie Cox ............. a manager whose philosophy was if you dont concede a goal, then you wont lose a match.
