the 1994-5 season was my debut season as an avid Alty Fan hence why I have 9,876 programmes from that season

Last I heard about Joe Paladino was that he ploughed a lot of money into St Helens Town.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

I wrote this in a recent programme article about Alty players with exotic surnames:

1. JOE PALADINO
Giuseppe Paladino was a 6ft 4” taxi driver, doorman, goalkeeper and amateur boxer who made seven Third Division appearances for Wigan Athletic during the 1990/91 season after joining the Latics from his hometown club, St Helens Town. Following spells with Runcorn and Witton Albion, Gerry Quinn brought him to Moss Lane at the start of the 1992/93 season and he went on to record 24 appearances for the Robins. His final game was a particularly dismal 4-1 defeat at Bromsgrove Rovers on 12th December 1992. From January 2004 until March 2005, he presided as Director of Football at St Helens Town, where one of the coaches he appointed was the tough-tackling ex-Alty left full back Mick Hayde.

And here's one from an earlier article about players who had been with both Alty & Halifax:

SHAUN CONSTABLE
A Leeds University student who arrived at Halifax via SC**thorpe United in August 1993. After 38 appearances and one goal, he moved to Moss Lane in May 1994. The following season saw him feature in 26 games for the Robins (18 of which were as a substitute) and he is still best remembered as the scorer of that controversial disallowed ‘goal’ in the FA Cup Third Round tie at Tottenham Hotspur on 7th January 1995. He returned to Halifax in September 1995 for a further five appearances before being released in May 1996. He went on to play for Harrogate Railway and work as a coach at the Leeds United Youth Academy.

o yeh, i remember jumping for joy when he 'scored' at spurs, quite how the linesman spotted Andy Reid's foot 2 cm over the line i will never know. best memory from that game was klinsman (could have been Sheringham) clattering into the keeper in the first 5 minutes and smiling as he lay on the floor with a dead leg !

[Altysmiffy]

I remember Kingy saying how good the linesman's optician must be cos no-one else saw the infringement!

[blackpoolalty]

funny how after Gerry Francis had jumped out of the dugout and burned 7000 calories the goal was disallowed, if only the goal had stood...........

[Altysmiffy]

The report in, I think, The Telegraph descibed how, as the ball went in, the Spurs players as one suddenly grew very very pale at the sudden relisation that, at 2-1, anything could happen.

my personal memory of that day was having 20,000 people singing" who ate all the pies" at me.

I was so upset i removed my alty shirt and showed the soft southern tarts what a beer beely is realy all about.

gazelle,

I remember that incident vividly, as we were only a few rows behind you.

You exhibited the finest physique I had seen in an Alty shirt since the great Ian Tunnacliffe wore the red and white stripes back in 1992.

Anyone else remember Mike?

Great lad, very sad his career finished due to injury.

I remember him co-commentating with Flynnie when Clive Freeman scored his thunderbolt against Chester

Seems to have done okay for hisself according to this

[Ashley Alty]

Blimey - I'd better watch out for him when he visits Sport England Towers

[Ballers]

Prior to working in the NHS, Mike worked for Grand Metropolitan UK Ltd and pursued early sporting aspirations, playing cricket for Lancashire’s second eleven and semi-professional football for Altrincham and Rochdale.

Rochdale in their place.
