Mike Summerbee on Talksport

Listening to it on the headphones whilst working. Its making the day pass much quicker
 
Did he really say he set up the winning goal in the 1970 league cup final with a broken leg?


its not quite up there with Berts broken kneck, but its still chuffin amazing
 
I walked out of work one day last June and Buzzer was stood next to my car in the car park. I said "hello there Mike, are you well?" and he just said "afternoon, very well than you!" and as i just drove off home he gave me a wave. That was it. All very random!
 
Like Many Bluemooners, I was at this game in May '68, absolutely incredible atmosphere....






I remember the game well.

Drove up to Newcastle in good time so went into a pub close to St James's with a couple of mates.
Unfortunately fighting between fans broke out with glassware being thrown from each side. getting out was difficult, we turned the table we were sat at on its side and inched it towards the exit but then the opposing fans threw their glasses onto the ceiling showering us all with glass splinters.
Eventually got out without serious injury more by luck than good judgement.

I remember the result and the elation but we couldn't get out of Newcastle fast enough and stopped for an after game drink and takeout well away from the venue.
 
It was my 1st trip to Newcastle that day the atmosphere was special, I had a walk around the ground after the match, their city fans everywhere, the following season was very different losing to a Wynn Davies 89th minute header, the atmosphere was very different as well, also nice to get home in one piece?
 
Got to the ground early with 3 mates. While we were waiting a big piece of piss and about 10 geordies came up to us. As far as i could understand they wanted a go. We declined the offer, and off they went calling us wimps and girlies. During the game (I was in the Leazes end )sp. This long streak of piss came past me on his own. "Ok pal ?" "Still fancy a go ?"...... I still remember his reply. "It wasn't me. "

It was actually the equaliser, flicked on a corner for Mike Doyle to poke home. Buzzer had just got up after being treated for the injury and fell straight down again and was subbed straight away, only discovered later that he had a hairline fracture in the leg.
