Plus that kit was superb. For me too - it encapsulates what following a team like Latics is all about - decent lower league players who were ours, if only for a short time. So many memories triggered by a simple photograph. Cheers for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong on this bit, I think Whitehall turned Desailly in the penalty box and could have had a clear shot if Desailly hadn't embarrassingly fallen over and the ref, Paul "Pickled" Durkin, hadn't blown for a very dodgy foul. I thought at the time..."Soft French Tart"......not like our present Frenchies. Anybody else remember the ketchup soaked, half eaten sausage roll lobbed (very accurately I might add) at Durkin.....he felt his head and saw what he thought was blood and almost fainted?

Vialli epitomised the role in its purest form. Marked out of the game for seventy odd minutes but never stopped. Then bang! Bang! As Ramstein would say.

Agreed…… I remember Paul Reid giving him a proper kicking and he just got up and carried on...….proper footballer not like Desailly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle walker played his first game in professional football against us in 2009 on loan at Northampton a game we won 2-1 with Windass scoring from a corner. James Maddison made his professional debut for Coventry and scored the night we beat Coventry 4-1 in 2014 under Lee Johnson Forte scored a couole for us that night.
