Cracking teams, Martin, can't disagree, but surely room for Gary Connolly, at least on the bench? Or is the memory too painful, maybe? (Only joking - you stay safe too!)

never saw bentley catch offiah, douggie laughton obviosly didnt know what he was on about, a fit joe burgess would be caught by many, offiah slipped at the start

and offiah was also caught at times...... i cant remember preston ever getting caught....... he scored a couple of long rangers against us for fax
i never saw him caught in full flight, saw iro get to him but had yards on him and offiah wasnt in stride, thats about it, never saw him run down when there wasnt yards given

Thought it was Central Park running towards the popular stand, I could be wrong though

I always thought it was running down the Douglas side heading towards the Kop end.

Memory could be playing tricks though ;)
