    Is it still extra for a seat cushion up there? My grandad had to be feeling flush before he'd buy me one.

    First Reds goalkeeper I can remember as a young lad was Brian Arblaster .

    When he retired he got a job with the NCB as a driver .

    They don't know how lucky they were the old lads from the 60's , 70's and 80's !!!! .

    Welcome mate and looking forward to reading your posts .

    I loved that story of Alan 'Clarkie' taking his squad on a trip daaarn t' pit lol. To make them realise how lucky they were to be well paid football players, in about 1979-80 I think.

    And also along those lines, didn't he get the staff to start washing their kits and cleaning their boots ?. To once again give them a feeling of higher importance.
    Something that a lot of managers wouldn't think of doing these days.

    Yep I liked those stories as well Acido. It must have done something for the players because, in my memory, the football played in those years of Clarke and Hunter was superb.
