    In order

    Eaden
    Beresford
    Barnard
    Fleming (though better as Libero)
    Robinson
    Stuart Gray.
    N Thompson
    N Cooper.
    Joyce
    stones
    Bree
    Holgate
    Yiadom
    Bobby.


    We have had an embarrassment of riches at full back and centre back but often struggled further up the pitch.

    Yes it was a 4-0 cup thrashing against a really dirty hoofballing Hudds team in 1995-96.
    Their midfielders Darren Bullock and Andy Morrisson the following season just tried to kick the hell out of Martin Bullock & Clint Marcelle. Thats all they were good for in those days under Brian Horton, in their early days of playing at the new McAlpine stadium.
    Andy Payton hit a really versatile hat trick for us that night (a left footer, a right footer, and a header), and who would have thought we'd sell him to them the following season and his career was never as good after that.

    I didn't know he went back home to Burnsley, but I remember him flopping at Hudds where Marcus Stewart was the quality and Payton was just the clogger.

    Thats good stats I agree, but were Burnsley in the lower leagues in those days.
    I remember when he scored (the winning goal) for us there at the old Turf moor in 1994-95, he didn't celebrate as it was against his hometown club.

    Didn't we get 60k each for Gorry and Otulakowski which was very decent money in those days? I think that cash kept the club afloat and we started to move upwards after that with a couple of promotion near misses before Clarkey took over.

    Yeah my 'next to nowt' was a bit tongue in cheek following recent sales. £60k was an absolute fortune in those days (1976).

    Unfortunately, I think he got a serious injury which ended his career without hardly featuring for the Toon.

    I think you're right. He was on his way to being a very decent player I reckon but we are talking about a long, LONG time ago so maybe the specs are a bit rose tinted...or even sepia.
