Favourite Current Player: Andy Morrell

Favourite Games: Darlington 4-0, Wembley games 91&92, Leyton Orient 3-1 needed to win to stay up (Billy Ayres Tangerine Army), Bradford Away 2-0 Playoff game(still do not believed what happened), Tranmere in League Cup 4-0(4-3 on agg) after losing 3-0 with Eyrsie in nets in 1st leg, LDV games, Playoff game and lots more.

A Little Extra… for 5 years in the 90s did not miss a home or away game. Travelling on the supporters coach with Ossie and Paul and on the Bisto coach. First game was on the Kop and then South Paddock where I had a season ticket for a number of years. Now a days have to pick and choose the games. But one thing I still love to watch the Mighty Pool and wish I could go to alot more games.
