This one was always going to be a loan. We also wanted a permanent winger. With any luck we’ll see another in too. Unless Hecky has now decided he’s happy to go with what we have plus Mahoney.
I've been trying to find a photo to post of Brian Mahoney, a striker of ours from the early 1970's, without any luck.
Team photo which is early to mid 70s with Brian in the middle of the back row. He was with us between 1972 and 1975. One BIG unit!! CAN ANYONE PIN DOWN THE SEASON MAYBE. IT SAYS AT THE BOTTOM THAT PADDY GREENWOOD AND JOHN MANNING WERE ABSENT. I SUSPECT IT IS ABOUT 1974.
That's the squad photo for the start of the 1974/75 season. The clue is in the fact that it includes John Pickering and Paul O'Riley & this was the only season they played for us.
I thought that would be about right but all my archive material is with its new custodian in Barnsley and I don't have access to it any more. I had scrap books going back to the early sixties and I bet there is the odd Chronicle picture in there of Brian, ahem.... "in action" . The next thing to go will be my big programme collection. It's a bit sad losing things you have had all of your life but it's not the end of the world of course. If I could just settle down and live in one place things might be different, but the life I have led has made that impossible. The next move is on the cards for the next year or so and it will be somewhere warmer than Yorkshire
