Roger Ritchie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Really? Asa Hartford I’m sure he played for us on loan under Joe Royle. I’ve just done a quick search and couldn’t find anything immediate. Anyone confirm this? The search did bring up Michel Vonk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) I’m sure he played for us on loan under Joe Royle. I’ve just done a quick search and couldn’t find anything immediate. Anyone confirm this? The search did bring up Michel Vonk. I've been speaking with Peter Reid a lot just recently and he hasn't mentioned it - he knows I'm a Latics fan. He does however have very fond memories of the Latics team from the '70's, as he often played against them whilst at Bolton. He is particularly glowing in his praise of Alan Groves. He's still best mates with Shaw Gawbie, Ian Greaves and is an all round top bloke. I predict he'll be a big success over here. He's already won over a lot of Thai football fans and is very approachable. Edited November 10, 2008 by ThaiLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Ray Wilson, one of the boys of '66 but, as he played for us 25 times, it wasn't that short a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics4lifenotjustxmas Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 What about Short Latics careers that you wish could have been even shorter than 1 game? Andy Goram v Cardiff (nuff said) Ian Ironside v Grimsby (I thought it was Raymond Burr nuff said) Also whatever happened to Lance Cronin? He came on as a sub for 5 mins? v Chasetown in the FA Cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Also whatever happened to Lance Cronin? Coooey, Diego. Lance Cronin: By the end of the 2007–08 season, Cronin had made over 90 appearances for Ebbsflee United] and collected a winners medal when MyFootballClub won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium in May 2008. Up the Fleet (except when playing the Brewers)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 IIRC 1973-74 (It could have been 72-73) Jimmy Friz signed Mike Bernard from Everton Now Mike was, shall we say, a little rotund in the later years of his career. He had a "slight" thigh muscle injury in pre season and then tore it good and proper early doors before he fully recovered. When I say good and proper, he needed an op and the scar went from his groin to his knee. I don't think he played again after that. Also I'm not sure how many, if any, competitive games he played.

Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I remember Tony Hateley signed for us in the early seventies and played, I think, for half a game before retiring through injury!! Tony Hateley was at the club at the time I had my cartlidge op in October 1973 and I was under the care of our then Physio Jimmy McGregor. The day I came home from hospital, my dad took me in to see Jimmy for an appraisal of my scar and muscle loss following the op and Tony was on the treatment table (which was not a rare occurance) Tony had had both cartlidges removed from both knees and to say his knees were knackered was a bit of an undersatement. He did though compliment me on my neat scar. Top pro was Hateley senior. What you would call old school. Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Harrry I remember Mike Bernard very well , in fact I have a football card from his time at the Latics He played for us around 1977-78 all six appearances Edited November 10, 2008 by oa_exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he hardly played, but watched him in training before his injury and he really was a class apart. Strange how time plays games with your mind or is it just a "getting older" thing?
