Mick Hill? Greatest player I ever saw was Joe Shaw and most who saw TC and Jimmy Hagan say Hagan was much better.

I missed the next home match in protest Bully. I was a very upset teenager.
 
Great memory! Pre social media and score App days of course and I was at a seminar in London and missed it. I phoned the Mrs about 10pm and she told me the score was 6-0 but people thought I was on the wind up. The news filtered through and the celebrations went on into the early hours, I think the one and only time that I've celebrated with Gooners.
