That plane is so cool too!

Off topic but it looks even cooler when painted as a fish. The top section opens out, it's mahoosive.

Tony Cascarino, of Gllingham, in the middle of an awkward pogo with two Newport County defenders, August 1984. Right back Lynden Jones is in front. The game finished 1-1.

Cascarino had torn up the Kent League as a youngster with Crockenhill and went onto a good career with Millwall, Villa, Celtic, Chelsea and Ireland.

A young Mark Wright is shadowed by Robert Hopkins of Birmingham City during Saints’ best-ever season, runners up to Liverpool in 1983/84.

Birmingham, a yo-yo club, lost out to relegation survival experts Coventry on the last day, but bounced straight back. They had sunk to Division 3 by 1990.

The "Famous five" of Chester FC in 1964/65, doing a very 60s-style publicity shot at the old Sealand Road Ground. The forwards Talbot, Metcalf, Ryden, Morris and Humes scored 116 times between them that season as Chester finished eighth in the old fourth division.

Sealand Road was demolished in 1990/91 and replaced with a retail park whilst Chester went into exile in Macclesfield, returning in 1992 to the Deva Stadium. Perennially insolvent, the club finally went under at the beginning of this decade after years of bizarre oddball and downright crook owners. The successor club is fan-owned and plays in Conference North.

Definitely Dick Advocaat...and might be Louis Van Gaal jumping in front of him there...with Frank Rijkaard perhaps

I never realised how much Tommy Smith disliked, maybe hated Emlyn Hughes until recently.
Emlyn, once a Miller, always a Miller.

Amazing photo. Remember this from Shilton’s book on goalkeeping published in around 1980.
