I loved Bailey. His goal from his own half v Carlisle lives long in my memory. Peter Gain (who would have got in our side for the last five years) also scored an absolutely exquisite goal that game too.

Well worth the enormous trip.

Bailey was one half of "the psycho twins" as my Everton supporting mate called them when he came with us to Bournemouth to watch us effectively secure our playoff spot that first season under Keef. I think he was unaccustomed to the physical nature of league 2 football!

Bimson being the other, I assume?

I'm sure it's not a Typhoo Tea picture as they didn't cover lower division teams and were a slightly different design. I think it was included in a special edition of the Chronicle handed out at the first home game of the season.

Got mine from the club.

And the short one to Scunthorpe to see him tangle with Peter Beagrie.

Jeff Hughes, who I knew had returned and Cian Bolger who I didn’t know was there, playing for Larne in their great Europa League run.

Yeah, Bimmo was the other one of the twins, he was enormously impressed with their endeavour and "commitment"

Dave Smith or Dennis Booth for me.

Nah, Sandwith scored with one

Having moved areas two or three times, and make no apologies for watching the "best" local team in the area (as well as the Imps, of course, but on the back of seeing successive relegations etc), the two best corner takers I have seen are Alan Woodward at Sheffield United, who scored direct from corners, and Paul Maguire at Stoke, who could drop a ball on the head of Brendan O'Callaghan who was always sandwiched between two defenders

That ruined my Tuesday trek to Halifax in the re-arranged LDV Vans game!

Palmer has suffered another concussion in training, just a week before the new season. Reportedly was expecting to start for WBA against Bournemouth on Friday.

Hmm, that's not good. Especially twice in short space of time, hope there isn't some sort of problem there

Akinde sounds like he's rejected a move to Southend.

Hesketh has signed for Eastleigh.

 

[Red Wimp]

Conor Coventry seems to be in demand. Peterborough interested but he may be involved in the 1st team it seems
