I'm a Carlisle lad :)He’s originally from that neck of the woods iirc
Remember being in the Platt Lane as a kid and watching his debut for City as a 16 year old, set up the winning goal at that end

Probably my first hero. Thought he’d go on to win england caps ! Though he had a very decent career all the same

is that the game where Alan Ball (portsmouth manager at the time) was being interviewed on the pitch & all the blues were taking the piss out of his squeeky voice?Me too. One of my favourite away games.
Fancy someone being stupid enough to employ Alan squeeky Ball as a manager........
One of my favourite racecourses, no fancy Dan stuff, love it.I'm a Carlisle lad :)

He had a great debut but then hardly featured for well over 2 years which was the promotion run in.

Yeah weird how he was marginalised until McNeill finally gave him a go. No exaggeration to say him coming into the team late on revitalised the group and probably got us over the line that season. Six goals in 10 games.Yeah I was in Platt Lane for that too.

Scored 9 in the first division the following season as well.
Again he seemed to be scapegoated and marginalised as we went down the following year and like many of our best young players in the 80s and 90s, was let go far too young and too cheaply
