I had a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach reading the first two sentances of your post SG, nice twist in the tail though mateSouthampton Gull wrote:
When we last played you in a League game at your place, I was leaving the ground with my young son and he started singing "Torquay till I die" right in front of a load of City fans. There was a group of about a dozen skinheads who dwarfed me (and I'm not small) and within a few seconds they crossed the road towards us. I was getting ready for a serious fight and out of the blue, one of them pats my son on the head and said "Fair play kid, don't ever stop singing for your team", cue relief but respect for a group of lads who showed some class. I've been to a lot of so-called less intimidating grounds with my kids and had to fear for their safety. I've always had a soft spot for City, from way back when Chris Garland was playing for you.

Yes retired from the game when he was still a hero and would not drop down the divisions or go to non-league. Became a schoolteacher after leaving football.Trojan 67 wrote:Chris Garland was a City legend.
Some of us o'farts remember a real City legend : John Atyeo

Definately a 'legend' for us. Out of genuine interest and a desire to be educated who would Torquay fans consider to be their biggest 'legend'?

I must admit Im not familiar with 1 and 2 however my mother in laws, latest husbands father (follow that?) lives in Brixham and supports both Torquay and the Gas. He's mentioned Robin Stubbs to me in the past.stefano wrote: 1. Don Mills 2. Sammy Collins 3. Robin Stubbs
Views will vary considerably on this subject of course as that is the nature of football and we have had loads of great players over the years including many internationals. But the above considered carefully for at least 30 seconds will do me!
What the f'ck's happening ? Is someone playing silly buggers at TF.com because it's happening on a regular basis. Writing my lengthy post on Ricey yesterday i had the same thing which ended up with the cat going about 40 yards. He's certainly feline worse for wear.Trojan 67 wrote:I'm part way through writing a reply to John Fowler when WHOOSH ! the box empties and the post disappears.
Sadly, both Don Mills and Sammy Collins are before my time. Robin Stubbs and Tommy Spratt however, are fond memories. In their time they were the * "Smash & Grab" of TUFC.
