That Guiseley defeat cost Bernard Taylor his job, as I recall.

OK, without looking at John Laidlar's archives, who remembers Rose's only goal for Alty?

Altrincham FC First Team / Wanted: three Alty programmes from the FA Cup
« on: October 25, 2007, 04:13:41 PM »
If anyone has a 'spare' copy of any of the following three FA Cup programmes, I would be very interested in hearing from them re. a possible purchase:
(1) Guiseley v Altrincham (12th October 2002);
(2) Lancaster City v Altrincham (27th September 2003);
(3) Hucknall Town v Altrincham (Replay - 19th October 2004).

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Shotton playing on Sat?
« on: October 25, 2007, 01:04:07 PM »
Defence before Shotton's arrival:
8 league games
18 goals conceded.
Defence with Shotton:
8 league games
15 goals conceded.
I agree that he looks a decent player but he's not superhuman and we are still conceding far too many 'soft' goals.

« on: October 21, 2007, 08:20:54 PM »I think that four of Tunna's five goals were:-
Bromsgove Rovers (A)....lost 4-1 on his debut the week after Port Vale beat us in the FA Cup
Kettering Town (A)........drew 1-1
Wycombe Wanderers (A)..won 2-0...the day Wycombe won the Conference & Martin O'Neill apologised to about 6,000 Wycombe fans on the pitch after the game.This goal was on both Sky News & BBC News.
Farnborough (A)........won 5-2 on the last game of the season
I'm struggling for the fifth one though & I'm a bit vague about the Farnborough one as well!!
Brian,
Tunna didn't score on his debut at Bromsgrove.
His five goals were as follows: Dagenham (H) (as accurately described by Alty365); Kettering (A); Wycombe Wanderers (A); Witton Albion (H) and Farnborough (A) - all in the 1992/93 season.

Dis-Honourable mention for Kevin Hawkins - not strictly a striker but whenever a "worst player" threads start, hes always in my head !!!!
Sorry but based purely on his performance against Barrow in either the Cup or the Trophy when he kicked Kenny Lowe up in the air at what seemed like 15 second intervals for just over an hour Kevan Hawkins should be excused almost anything
FA Trophy Third Round tie at Moss Lane February, 1989.
Alty won 5-3.
Played in a howling gale.

As I went along Moss Lane at 11.30pm last night, I distictly heard I Am The One And Only by Chesney Hawkes blaring out of the Noel White Suite....
Disgraceful.
Disgraceful.

« on: October 19, 2007, 06:09:33 PM »This ridiculous maligning of the peerless Tunna is a disgrace, frankly.
For the record, his Alty statistics read as follows:
33 League & Cup Appearances
5 goals (and every one was a gem).
In fairness did he not have a spell where he looked something remotely resembling a then conference striker. He didn't score for ages but scored a header against Dagenham I think. I'll wager those 5 goals came in about the last 12 games of the 92-93 season. Oh no his first goal was away at Kettering I think. His other goals were away at Wycombe (!) and a 30 yarder at Farnborough, can't remember the other.
Witton Albion at Moss Lane.
An exquisite chip at the Chequers end.

That wasn't a sigh, it was a huge gasp of awe....

In the absence of a voting option for Tunna.....and, alas, because I never saw the legendary Swindells...
1. Jeff Johnson
A decade of phenomenal service in attack, then midfield and, finally, central defence.
2. John King
His arrival in 1977 was the catalyst that turned Alty from a good side into a team that won league championships and cups.
3. John Davison
Simply, a class act, whether at full back or in midfield.

Worst Alty striker candidates:
Dave Furnivall: about as mobile as a grand piano;
Wayne Entwistle: just woeful;
Paul Williams: indescribably abysmal;
Gary Hulmes: cost £5,000....and was a total flop;
John Donnelley: came from South Liverpool circa 1984....and soon disappeared;
Garry Hooley: never looked happy away from the slag heap at Frickley;
Chris Young: even slower than Phil Taylor when it's his turn to get a round of drinks in;
Adewale Ajetunmeobi: clueless.

Altho not a striker, I'm going to nominate him in Flynnys absence of his behalf!
How did you sum him up Brian?
"Truly dreadful."
