Anybody here remember Alex?
Now assistant manager of Scotland.
I think he scored the winner with a suitably dire(!) cross (which went straight into the net) in a thoroughly undeserved victory over Cardiff c. 1999. But as an owd codger my memory may well be wrong.

I used to go to pretty much all away games then too I think Brazil was in charge that night ?
I can remember us beating Stoke 3-2 as well must have been Big Sam as manager.
Alex Dyer actually won player of the season once. I think it must have been 1998/99, or the season after.
That game was hilarious, we were battered for the whole thing and their forwards couldn't hit the proverbial.
My dad worked periodically in Stoke so had some mates we met beforehand so had driven. I remember the lot charging past to rush at the buses, so many of them were kids, nasty little buggers.
If memory serves, this was either the game before or game after Brizzle Rivers away where we overtook them for first place on a late Kevin Rapley goal, and they tried to rush the buses there too afterwards, anyone recall that one?
I loved Alex D (of Notts County), by the way. One of those who would play any position he was asked to and always put a shift in.
I remember the Stoke away game the season before, when we won 2-3. We'd recently signed Stallard and Beadle, and both were on fire. At the end of the game, the Stoke fans invaded the pitch to chase their manager off - I remember one launching a corner flag like it was a spear! Then they tried to come after the us Notts fans. We took a hasty departure, but the kids were all lining the bridges on the way out of town. All very menacing.
I loved Alex D too. He was a proper hard-working utility man. Physically strong and fairly dependable. I remember he went on a bit of a scoring spree that season he won PotS. A classic Big Sam signing really - shouldn't have been good but actually was.
