Bloody hell, I thought I was old at 63. I’m just a spring chicken compared to you lot.

What you sayin' young'un?

 

[Axholme Lion]

Under Rowett we scored about the same in 40

Not that many.

We beat Gateshead 7-0 in 1936. We beat both Coventry and Torquay 9-1 in 1927. I remember a couple of mad games we had against Exeter in 81/82 we lost 5-4 then beat them 5-1 in the return game at the Den, same season Grimsby thumped us 6-1, later that season we beat Fulham 4-3.

Purley remembers them well

I remember a game late 50s/early 60s we lost at home to Gateshead 2-0 that we were favoured to win. Nothing unusual about that but there were 7 (yes seven!) goals disallowed and if they had all stood the final score would have been 7-2 to them

Late 50s, early 60s Purley, I didn’t think we were formed until 1885.

 

[boneyhazell]

Beat Swindon 6-2 in the 80s .
Bobby Shinton scored 2 I think.

 

[rooferboy]

[zak attack]

Was the Exeter game the one we were 5 nil up at half time & got booed off for the second half performance?

That was 1979 though, I was there as well. People thought at half time we could better our biggest win ever of I think it was (and still is) 9-1. Not to be at all.
