Anyone with the surname Fenoughty at Matlock Town in the 1970s.
Trevor Finnegan of Runcorn in the same decade.

Three brothers weren't there? One was the manager.
-
Trelford Mills.....I know he was the man in black, but he seemed like opposition to me.
Colin Cowperthwaite
(and have to agree on all the Vics shouts and possibly even add Mark Ward to that)
-
Phil Power (89)
Martin O'Connor
Leroy Chambers (before he signed for us)
Leeworthy at Dover
Carl Alford at all his clubs except the last one when he looked like Jacobs.
-
Paul Dobson at Gateshead. Always seemed to be the league's top scorer by a mile despite Gateshead never being more than a mid-table outfit.
-
Seem to recall someone similar at Stafford, scored like 25 a season yet they were always down the bottom end
-
That was probably Leroy May who had a brief spell at Alty prior to signing for Stafford.
-
Thats him ! You have a good memory
-
The two strikers at Morecambe in the 90's always scored a few against us Coleman and McCluskey.. ?? remember a spalding trophy thingy majiggy when we LOST 6-4 !

I have that game at home on video somewhere!
John Coleman and (possibly) John Norman were the two Morecambe players you're thinking of?
-
....kept thinkin I could never live with Alty on the slide,
But those crazy Tuesday nights,
With those journies, oh so long,
I grew strong,
I learned how to carry on,
And now we're back,
From the abyss,
It's reprieve time again,
So now we're on the p*ss.....
We will survive...........ooops sorry wrong thread
That Gloria couldn't half put em away.....
-
;D
thats gotta be chanted next season :D

Yeh Norman sounds familiar, if you've got the vid you'd notice Sonar Zumrutel zipping up and down that wing ;)

The name Mark Ceraolo also springs to mind.
-
Not watched it for years to be honest but I remember that Alty took the lead after about 30 seconds.

Michael Knowles was a fine player too...

As an aside to Cult's shout for Mark Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooo, I think and we may need some clarification here but we were rumoured to be signing Paul Dobson at one point in the early to mid 90s
Flynny?

I think it's mentioned in the "Kingdom Come" book. I'm sure it was Paul Rowlands who attempted to sign him after we played them up there.

Excerpt from page 7 of Kingdom Come by Mark Harris:
"After a 2-1 defeat at Gateshead (2nd February 1994)....Rowlands made a daring bid for the Geordies' leading scorer Paul Dobson, rumoured to be unhappy at the International Stadium. Nothing ever came of the move but such a proven goalscorer might yet have proved Robins' - and the manager's - salvation."

Actually, never mind players names, can I just say Gateshead?
Our record up there, and indeed against them full stop was absolutely atrocious. I think we beat them in the promotion season (1991) but didn't win again until, ironically, we sealed the Unibond league title there in 1999.
Most of the defeats were up there in midweek by either 1-3 or 0-2 iirc. Awful.
Has anyone got any definitive records of this?
-
im sure we won up there with cote as manager ;D
-

That was in the FA Trophy on 2003/04 I think.
-
the win at gateshead didn't seal the title. the home win against emley did that. over 1500 on a tuesday night with andy lovelock getting the winner.

Ballers,
Oh, go on then, I'll research this for you....!
Details to follow in due course.

Two late goals from Nick Welton?
Where is he now?

Thursday night, surely?
I remember having one hell of a hangover at work on the Friday.
Wasn't that the night that Flynny spent fast asleep in one of the Moss Lane dressing rooms?!

It was without doubt on a Thursday
-
I booked Friday off and me and Jimmy Hardman discussed promotion at 5:45 am outside Holts.
Jimmy was meant to be in work at 7:00..he never made it.
-
I was in school the following day as it was about three weeks before my A-Levels. I arrived half an hour late with a shocking hangover and completely unable to speak. I lasted two hours before going home again.

The day at Gateshead where Bomber headed home and wheeled away to celebrate with us was truly the day that promotion was clinched. Never has a there been a more fitting moment for one of the Moss Lane gretas, and I do mean that.

I remember their keeper Adrian Swann was sent off really early in the game but we really struggled to break them down. The relief when Bomber scored that goal was immense!

I'd completely forgotten it was a Thursday night. Why was that?
-

It must have been due to a postponement as we had quite a good run in the Trophy that year as well. We had played at Frickley on the Tuesday night so it couldn't be played on any other day I suppose.

The match was originally postponed on the first Saturday in March.We had a lot of problems with the pitch that season after it was virtually destroyed by:-
a) A game against Chorley that I think we won 4-0.
b) A Mickey Mouse Altrincham Senior Cup game or something that the Reserves/Youth Team played in which the referee decided to play despite the ridiculously wet conditions
Neither of these games should have been played.

and the drains were blocked. that was the season of the three big sand pits down the popular side.

Whats a daring bid ?
was he parachuting or riding a unicycle on a tight rope blindfolded or something?
