The Eddie McGoldrick paradox

[franksinatra]

Parlane was a bit like the Negredo of his era, great for 6mths then tailed off. Decent signing on a free at the time

Thanks, I am right in thinking he was quite a big name in football of that time?

Just had a look on wiki and 20 goals in 48 appearances. Pretty impressive.

It was fun and games afterwards. I took a lad with me I was at University with, a wolves fan from Banbury, the City Leeds fighting took him somewhat by surprise it’s fair to say. Given he was recovering from a broken neck at the time he has every right to be nervous!

Did you manage to find it? All I can remember, apart from the fighting, was we were one nil down in the last few mins, than Tolmie I think (the player, not the Blue Noon poster) equalised, and then DP got a very late winner. The song was then Thank You Very Much for Derek Parlane (old scaffold tune)

I have said this before in a similar thread, this was a bad time for me, lots of drinking etc.

Beardsley was being linked with a return to CUFC as coach/manager and I was looking in his bio and noticed that he had played for us, I was shocked that I just had no recollection of this happening at all.

No, sadly. Saw a couple of beauties against Swansea.

He had a good bit of success with Rangers and played for Scotland so would have been a fairly big name in Scottish football. Moved to Leeds who were in a bit of a mess early 80s and it didnt really work out. Arrived with Tomle and Mcnab in summer '83 after we'd been relegated and were skint.

Mark Robins the guy who saved Fergie from the chop, he played for us twice.

Beardsley played a few games on loan for us from Bolton. He was getting on a bit and past his best but has the unusual distinction of playing for both Manchester and merseyside teams. Still think hed have been a good signing for us when liverpool sold him to everton.
