Being a sad stato I noticed that on 9 Dec 1997 we beat Darlington 3-2 via a Golden Goal (remember that daft idea) in the coveted Association Members Cup. As far as I know this is the only time weve scored a Golden Goal. The records show David Eyres scored a brace and Michael Appleton one. Does anybody know who was the Golden Boy?
Cant find that anywhere at the moment Triffid but will be catching up with a couple of friends at the weekend and one of them is a real football nut so will run it by him.
Cheers mate. Keep me posted!
It was David Eyres.
PNE 1 Darlington 0 - Michael Appleton (28)
PNE 2 Darlington 0 - David Eyres (61)
PNE 2 Darlington 1 - Brian Atkinson (pen 74)
PNE 2 Darlington 2 - Craig Midgley (85)

Cheers Fulwood and Gards, much obliged.

We were just talking the other day about who would be in your top 5 of players we have supported in the last 20 years or so and Eyres was in our top 5 along with the likes of Mooney, Ashcroft, Machin, McKenna. Ellis should have been in there but his traitor ways kept him out ;D . Eyres must be one of the most liked players in our region and a gentleman to boot.Quote:

Gregan - absolutely agree and in modern times the bet midfielder by far. Nugent is indeed up there but would have liked to have had him 1 more season. ;D
