Apologies if this has been done b4 .

Some of my memories of watching ctfc over the years .

Years ago midweek games always finished at 9.10

Bovril from the shop

Me and some mates went on the players coach to Bedworth - stopped at the chippie on the way back. Ken Skeen era?

Going over to Glos - Horton road by train to watch the game . Dog track around the pitch.

My dad got coal thrown at him at Merthyr Tydfil

Oxford city away in the trophy managed by Bobby Moore

There must be loads of stories to recall

Happy days .

An away Cup game in Wales (Lovells?) when Willie Ferns arm blocked their keeper unseen by the ref and the ball ran loose for a tap in

certainly remember that; must have been all of pre-double digit years. As for B Moore esq., he was delight to watch at Upton Park. Peters though was the player; so far ahead of his time. Hurst ok'ish!

Wasn't Harry Redknapp assistant at Oxford City when we played them?

1st home game was Burton Albion in the Beezer Homes League. Lost 2-1 and Neil Cutler was in goal.

First away game was the same season at Meadow Park. Won 2-1 I think Christer Warren scored the winner.

Not sure on the year maybe 93/94?

Nearly. It was actually 1994/95.
Martin Thomas was our main keeper back then. Neil Cutler is now goalkeeping coach at Aston Villa.
