This has jogged my memory, many moons ago when the Imps were playing at Spotland, there was was a very late call to postpone the match due to a waterlogged pitch. Most folk just headed off however, YT truly and a few mates decided to stay in the Church Inn and have a few bevy's as it was route of least resistance. After a while Mr. Cannon and famed oppo tipped up. One of my mates who was worse wear took him out to the bowling green at the back of the pub and explained the pitch was perfectly playable. To his credit he took it all in good humour.

Fraser Hinds played at the bank during a charity/ celeb v imps games around 1974/5?

Remember arriving for that game, fairly late and close to kick off, thinking there's not many cars parked here, it's a bit quiet.....and after a brief word with someone through the car window, turning round and heading back home

Who is this Frazer Hinds you speak of? I recall a Frazer Hines who was garroted by Michael york and thrown out of a Zeppelin and was molested by Daleks, dunno what he had done in a previous life to deserve this?

There has been a very loose link to the word famous on some of these posts!!

I met my dad on the terraces when I came back from visiting the gents; he was quite well known in our house at the time.

 

[Red Wimp]

Not really random as he was Chairman of the club at the time but I did get Elton John's autograph after we played Watford

 

[Dazimp120]

Curly watts when he was the official celebrity fan before the money men came in at man city

She was taking over the home end armed with a Stanley knife.

 

[60sIMP]

Exchanged "hello"s with John Inverdale at a home match....but maybe he doesn't count

He worked on the Echo and then Radio Lincs in the early 80s....seem to think he lived in Saxilby then, so would have been around quite a bit.

She was actually there to watch me (and several hundred other kids) dancing. As it peed down all day, she went off to open a bridge over the railway which needed opening. I was in the Railway End.

Pelham Bridge? 1958 if so. I can just remember it being built.
