@RoderickOwain60 Best was the 1st replay I saw, v Blackpool in 66 , Crossan scored in both games . 3-1 win. Great crowd at Maine Rd.Worst has to be v Spurs in 81, should have won the 1st game .Needed Tueart as sub not Tony Henry.

@RoderickOwain60 I’m still cheesed off about losing to Wolves in 74

@toryboypierce @Keir_Starmer We had a by election at similar point in the Wilson govt. 1967
Winston Churchill came quite close, here’s a tiny bit of history reflecting Ted Heaths take on the result ( letter to my dad)

@RoderickOwain60 United!

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@RoderickOwain60 As usual Owain , you have planted a brain worm , I can’t get this out of my head , but so far only come up with Dave Bacuzzi , pretty decent full back but not Joe Mercer’s cup of tea .

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@RoderickOwain60 Indeed he was, a nightmare to play against but was popular in his short time with us.

@Jebadoo2 @Glinner Devastated that he has left out the plaster ducks , a common wall feature in all working class homes as we all know.

@RoderickOwain60 The Futcher twins for a start, Cliff Sear,( 1 Welsh cap)
John Clay ( 1 first team appearance )
Bert Trautmann

@RoderickOwain60 Can’t recall Bonetti in the job but Stepney certainly

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@RoderickOwain60 Mostly H , some struggled in poor sides Charvet the worst by far.
Mac M had one decent game
Tony Cunningham was a trier but a bit out of his depth

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@RoderickOwain60 Silkman started reasonably , ( I think he scored on his home debut) chased everything without much success.Sadly the crowds enthusiasm faded as he moved into headless chicken mode on a regular basis.
Suckling was OK ish, crowd never really on his back.
Frontzeck useless.

@RoderickOwain60 Can’t argue with most , probably prefer Danny Tiatto to Thatcher

@bluemint5011 Well I seem to be the one who buys them but never , ever , get a thank you whether at Xmas or Birthday

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@SxrgioSZN Depends on the era … Alan Oakes never really got the accolades , but the Bell, Lee, Summerbee focus might not have been quite the same without him.

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@QprEver Most unpopular and equal bottom of the ‘worst ‘ leader league table with May, Truss, … feel free to add to the list.

@nogulagsagain My dad got a new Company car, a Consul Classic , ( early 60s) this was the feature which he was most pleased with !)

@RodneyMarsh10 Greaves , Hollins, Samson

[Robert Smith @araitch]

@owainroderick1 Back in the day.. Rodney Marsh seemed to be a wonderful signing… now we were in the big league !, but , just fans , we didn’t get that the dynamic would change , never the less , we saw some great goals , even though they didn’t lead to trophies in the end.

@StephenGBNews @elliecostelloTV Yeh , but Ellie doesn’t seem to be that keen on the early morning gig!
