    I thought the same - so I thought I'd try and find out ...

    That sounds a good call - played six matches that season. I don't remember him at all!

    Started looking at that list and recalled the very strange career path of goalkeeper Brian Parker. Played 26 games in 1973-74 as we struggled at the bottom end of Div 4. Then got signed by Arsenal (!) and then disappeared without a trace. Anyone know what happened to him?

    I too remember this game and clearly too.At 3-0 we were coasting and had a chance to make it four late on but failed.They pulled one bacl with a few minutes remaining and got another two or three minutes later.By now they were all over us and incredibly bundled in the equaliser,in stoppage time I think.
    I remember being well ****ed off and vowing not to bother going again that season.Next home game I was there though.

    Funny you should bring up Brian Parker as he'd crossed my mind recently too.I remember him being the young understudy to the excellent Geoff Crudgington but I w

    Well, I can answer that one! Just had no idea he was at Crewe in his early years!

    In my VERY early football watching days, ("when I were a lad"), I used to go to the old Huish ground at Yeovil - the one with the infamous slope - and BP turned up there around the time of the formation of the Alliance Premier League (now the Conference) in the late 70s. Became a Yeovil legend before moving on to (I think!?) Runcorn!
