The irony of the cult worshipping ian tunnicliffe whilst berating twissy for being fat is not lost on anyone.

Mind you, I remember tunna as a gentle giant who we would all have loved to have seen succeed at the higher level....he did give us a few moments of magic and I think we all realised he was just a fraction of the pace needed but we appreciated him trying his best.

He was worth it for the goal he scored (or did he assist the scorer by hitting the bar?) V the sheepshaggers in a relegation 6 pointer at moss lane.... described afterwards by a disgruntled macc reportor as alty's gargantuan forward....that bitterness was so sweet....

was the day they were crowned champs if i recall correctly


Mark,

You'll be pleased to learn that I am putting Brian Flynn under intense and increasing pressure to unearth a particular video from his Alty archives, which shows the peerless Tunna scoring for the Robins in a 2-0 win at eventual GMVC Champions, Wycombe Wanderers, back in April 1993.

Indeed, your memory is spot on.

Notwithstanding our 2-0 victory in front of a crowd of 6,284, Wycombe were still crowned League Champions that afternoon.
