Ian Bishop & Trevor Morley on their "rumoured relationship"

[Spurs quarter 69]

What’s the story with Plymouth if you don’t mind me asking.

On the day of the 5th round FA cup tie in 1988 (?) a huge gay rights demonstration took place in Manchester. A number of the young governors charged into the parade attacking demonstrators. Stewards chased after the YGs who led them into pre planned ambush where many of the goveners came out of pubs round Albert Sq and battered the stewards. After the match people walking back towards the uni from town where smacked by blues returning from Maine Rd I was horrified to see a lesbian couple thrown out into the traffic on Oxford Rd mercifully the drivers breaked in time. One of the very few occasions in my life I've felt ashamed to be a blue. The 80s was another country.

Ah never heard of that. That’s horrific.
Thanks for sharing.

Full of seamen?

Just remembered something about Trevor Morley. After the FA Cup win in 2011 he was in the pub at Wembley celebrating with us all after the game.

Using alleged makes it sound like it would have been a crime.

I thought that this morning too when I saw it. 'Rumoured' would be a better word

Two beautiful feet.

Absolutely loved that goal against Leeds in the F.A cup.

Probably my favourite game where we got beat.

Top of Div 1 playing Premier League leaders - we played really well, great game and that Leeds team were fantastic to watch...............

Something I’ve always wondered regarding Morley is when he got the Promotion winning equaliser at Bradford City in 1989 not one single player runs to celebrate with him at any stage and he just simply jogged back to the halfway line.

Considering the magnitude of goal it’s baffling.

And here’s the shirt he scored it in !!
