👏😂Matty has done really well but if Ethan is 100% fit and ready to go he must come back in , he is our numero uno .Numero ventinove, no?
Never forget that one , the club hired a minibus with around 10 of us on board . The driver got lost and we got there at half time, on the way back we got a puncture in the middle of nowhere with no spare so had to wait for a breakdown truck , eventually got back at around 3am . The hapless driver was called Mike who also owned the business . Not the best away day 🙄Thanks MG that’s really helpful. The Bangor game certainly wasn’t a 5-4 I’d have remembered that! I think I might be muddling games up, part of getting old, although I’m sure we played against Gainsborough on a Sunday some years earlier possibly in the league cup.
That’s definitely the Great Harwood game though, cheers.
I remember that Gainsborough Lge Cup game, 2nd leg semi final following a 0-1 at Northolme. Brian Taylor equalised in the second half, only for Trinity to equalise in the last minute to send us out. 1972 I think?
Knew that would get a bite Pete! 😊👍😏Tease 😀
It's on it's way. Keep watching your letterbox! 🤞What could possibly go wrong? 😕
You are a jinx and I claim my £5! 😉
Stick it in the More Lavvies in the Main Stand fund! 😉
👍😂🤣😂🤣

One lavvy would be an improvement 🤨
He scored a hat trick for Northwich against us in the Cheshire Senior Cup Semi Final Second Replay at Canal Street the following season.Bloody hell , don't remember that 😔
The Great Harwood game was in the run up to the Trophy semi final second leg against Runcorn. We had drawn 0-0 with the Linnets on the Saturday, and this game was played on the Monday. Notable for the debuts of Graham Tobin and Larry Garrity. I remember turning up at The Old Showground and saying "who the hell are they?" Graham Heathcote scored both goals in a routine 2-0 win. Garrity made it into the starting 11 at Runcorn the following Saturday for the second leg where a mal Bailey goal took us to Wembley for the first time'Toby' joined us from a Wythenshawe Sunday league team he was a friend of a friend , good player but never a regular at ML because of Mal Bailey and John Owens . A legend at Macc after leaving us btw !
