I'll be updating this less frequently from here on, if only to stop it falling off the bottom of the page and highlighting only chosen dates in years past, or what I see as most relevant birthdays and past achievements and defeats etc

 

No Birthdays Today

Today in 1996 - a 2 - 2 home draw with Stockport County in the FA cup

 

Today in 1995 - a 1 - 0 home win over Derby County in the FA cup. Hinchcliffe scored I remember and we went on to win the damn competition

 

Today in 1989 - a 1 - 1 draw at WBA in the FA Cup, we were to reach the final again later that year

 

Today in 1984 - where the glory started in the mid 1980s, with a 2 - 0 win at Stoke City in the FA cup. Would be nice to go back to this time, but what can you do

 

Today in 1978 - a 4 - 1 home win over Aston Villa in the FA cup. Got some revenge for that final defeat the year before and they had a player sent off for making rude signs near the end I remember

 

Today in 1922 - a 0 - 6 home defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA cup. Bizarre

He was about 36 when we got him and not sure what Smith was playing at, apart from the obvious experience aspect but not a signing we really needed to make. I think Smith just held him in regard from their days at Glasgow Rangers and decided on a pally signing. Worth saying, it was about a year after this, we brought in Paul Gascgoine, so it does make a certain amount of sense. Smith would have tried to have brought in Henderson and Waddell if he'd had his way. I think he'd simply lost it a bit by that stage. Poor manager (for us), although some bizarre signings for sure.
