[Nil desperandum]

If I don't see any further success in my lifetime I'd like to thank Bobby for that unforgettable moment when he lifted the cup for us.

The cup was above his arms and his smile was as wide as the wear.

I love the goal celebrations. Arms in the air and big smile. None of this modern day crap.

Remember his debut. Missed his late winner against Man City but saw the goal on Shoot the following day

When was that? Remember him breaking his leg - 50+ years ago Fulwell End/Main stand (then again he might have just been pole-axed)

Have you noticed how he's here and he's there ... in fact he's every blinking where?

Happy Birthday Bobby have a great one.

Sat new years eve 66. The leg break against Leeds ( fa cup r5 1967 ) was as you remember in front of the main stand. I did not go to this game but there is footage from the internet with Kenneth Wolstenholme commentating for MOTD. That game may well gave been the first time we featured on MOTD at Roket

Bobby Kerr man, great player and It makes you think how he would have fared without those injuries. Still a very friendly bloke, had a bit crack with him before the gillingham game.

How mentally strong was he to come back from 2 broken legs man ??
I don't know how much the Stokoe statue cost, but there should be one of the 73 team because that win was absolutely stupendous with some top teams beaten along the way.
Massive respect to Raich Carter and the 37 winning team, but 73 was a bit more magical and certainly created a much bigger stir given we were Div 2 and Leeds were an absolute beast of a team.
