Memories of plainmoor

by Stoke Gull » 15 Nov 2020, 14:40

Replying to the question about cameras for the Match of the Day vBury in 1968, my memory is of being amazed at the huge amount of outside broadcast vehicles parked on the grass at the Ellacombe end (No swimming pool there then) and alot of cables - how technology has moved on! I think the Fulham match was possibly on ITV's Big Match. Great memories, I just remember the cowshed before the mini stand.

Things I remember about that day: we had an early injury to one of our forwards (name escapes me)
Tony Bedeau. He was in great form and had scored the winner against Cardiff City in the previous home game. It certainly changed the game. The main memory for me of that particular game was giving 3 of the Argyle players a lift back to Ivybridge so that the team coach didn't have to leave the A38. I was very quiet on the way home and I told them I was able to drop people off wherever I wanted!

We lost 4-0 and I was distraught!! Stood in the popside (obviously!!) and sung myself hoarse, as is the norm when I attend football matches.

Things I remember about that day: we had an early injury to one of our forwards (name escapes me) and we lost the match after that incident, with the substitution making us lose our shape and then Plymouth scored fairly quickly after that, and then hammered home three more before shutting up shop for the rest of the game.

I stayed in a b&b and was taken to the game by Richard Hughes, after being picked up at Exeter airport by Alan (acetufc) - both used to post on Mervos site - Richard, as we know, works for the Herald now, and I have lost touch with Alan (as well as Richard.)

EDIT: injured player was Tony Bedeau.

Team for the day:
S. Jones, Paul Holmes, Wayne Thomas, Alex Watson, Lee Russell, Robbie Herrera, Chris Brandon, Brian Healy (c), Kevin Hill, Eiffon Williams, Tony Bedeau (replaced by M. Griffiths)
Unused subs Mick O’Brien, Steve Tully, Tom Stocco and Ryan Northmore.
Is that back in the days when you were a 'plod' Scotty? :lol:

How's your father
How's your father

You haven't got one
You've never had one
You're a b*stard referee

She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon
She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of may
And when I asked her why she wore that ribbon ?
She said it was for united, and we're going to Wembley
Wembley, wembley
We're the famous Torquay United & we're going to wembley.

Sherpa van trophy final 1989 v Bolton wanderers.
Also remember we were the first Devon club to reach a Wembley final heating the Janners & modes the point the scum to that accolade !
