My mate played on it for Burnley youths and scored at the fullwel end and it was on video, in moments of maudling drunkiness he used to put it on and remember how life could have been so so different for him

Tommy??? Did he not move to Durham F C and look after the pitch the ressies played on. Don't know what he's up to now though.

He did mate. Maintained a cracking pitch there, n'all.

He was a canny age when he worked for us - I'll not be surprised if he's retired now.

I believe he still lives in East Herrington last time i heard, sure one of the boys lives over the road to him.

Tommy Porter, He retired around 98/99 iirc. If he's still alive, he'll be pushing on 80 won't he?! The last I heard of him, he was helping out at Durham City.

One way to describe it.

[Blythy]

he left cos he got bollocked by reidy, cos some guy called dave nicholson wouldn't let him put the boiler on to defrost the pitch....

or something like that.
