1986 vs 2022 squads

[Erimus74]

Local lads, on a normal wage, living in semi detached houses amongst the fans. One thing that will never compare to 86 is the heart. they gave their all

Agree with this

Yes at the time I would have preffered Rowell over Slaven ;-) I'm convinced I saw him at Hartlepool before the Port Vale match. Is it possible?

No, Boro released him during 85-86 season

He actually finished as our top goalscorer that relegated season,

Wasn't Kernaghan a striker at this point?!

As a last resort wasn’t it ?
He’s probabily got more hatricks than some strikers we’ve had though

I thought he was around for the first week or two of the 1986/7 season and was on the subs bench for one of the early games.

He was better than Bernie in 1985/6. It took Bernie a while to settle in.
