Andy McCulloch

Me, me me.

We lost 1-0 I believe and had to fight our way out of the ground.

Funny I remember that match. It ruined my week and when I finally got to my car I put the radio on and the first record they played was "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" by Crystal Gayle.

I knew you'd all be interested in that. :D :D :D

Also remember Andy getting the last minute winner against Bournemouth November 1976 when we came from 0-2 to win 3-2.

Towering header and Dennis Waterman was sitting just behind me with Rick Wakeman. Waterman was taking stick as he is I believe a Fulham fan and was in The Sweeney at that time.
 

Andy McCulloch

Nope. I've just looked it up . We lost 0-1. Boxing Day 1977

Well I won't be.

I'm off to see the Mighty Bees :D

McCulloch wouldn't last 5 minutes in today's poncy game. Hard but fair centre forwards are an extinct bird and footballs now played by girlies. Top bloke Andy Mc for what he said on the pitch at half time too.
 

Andy McCulloch

Great man said he had the bees in his heart, you can bet he meant it. Crap result today, but when Andy came out at h.t. it made my day, top man
 

Andy McCulloch

He didn't say much, but the first part we didn't hear (mic not working, or maybe he didn't hold it close enough to his mouth) - but he did mention something about Brentford being in his heart.

Seeing him at half time was by far the highlight of the afternoon last Saturday and gave me something to talk to my 8 year old about on the way home....."that Andy McCulloch who was on the pitch at half time, he was one of the bravest and best forwards we've ever had. I remember when......."

Andy McCulloch

I always remember when Andy came back froma close season playing with some yankee doodle dandy team. he was sporting a pair of white boots...very different in those days and he looked a right tw&t in them.

Top perm, great strike force with Steve Phillips...thats what memories are made of

Nice message, Perivale ;-)

I'd just like to say to all the supporters of my Dad (yes, MY Dad - really) thank you. I was idlly looking up stuff on Dad online, and stumbled across your 'grapevine' chat/forum thing. Me & Mum went along with Dad to the Brentford v Sheffield Wednesday game, which was the starting point for this little discussion - and it was a great experience. I was born in Sheffield while he was playing for Wednesday, so have only experienced that club. He has always spoken fondly of Brentford and it was lovely to see he hasn't been forgotten! Anyway, I felt so touched by all your kind words (minus the white boots comment, however knowing his dress sense from first hand experience, probably true!) I was compelled to register just so I could post something. I'll be sure to print it all off and show it to him. I'm very proud of my Dad - but it's always lovely to hear other people think a lot of him too! I'll stop rambling now, many thanks! Kirsty.
 

Andy McCulloch

Kirsty in the thirty five years I have supported Brentford. Your dad was the best. I can still remember where I was when he signed for Sheffield Wednesday. A sad day.

Kirsty, I know that your Dad is YOUR hero, and he was a hero to thousands of Brentford fans when he played for us. A really 'top bloke' as I am sure you know, who will long be remembered by Bees fans.

Kisty if you could get your dad to post on the GPG it would be a great honour from my Hero.

Have you any pictures of Andy playing in the BEES colours for us to see?:wave:
 

Andy McCulloch

I'll see what I can do!
We've got tons of pics of him, but it's just a case of scanning them in I guess - however I am sans scanner.
Anyway, I'll attach a picture of him on the pitch at half time from the game against Wednesday (I was the one frantically taking pictures of him, whilst the security guards watched me in a confused manner, until I tunred around and went 'HE'S MY DAD!')

Ooops, sorry that pic was so big. Anyway, I'll get Dad to attempt to post something on here (but he's even worse than my previous post!).
 

Andy McCulloch

Nice one Kirsty ;-)
I'm the guy who had the priveledge of interviewing your Dad for the Sheff Wed programme.
Top geezer and what a player in his Day.
When is his team (The one he is Manager of) going to get into the FA Cup. That'll be something to play against his side in the Cup !
 

Andy McCulloch

I wouldn't hold your breath (although I'm good friends with a lot of the players, so I shouldn't be mean) - we are in the Kingston District league - Esher United FC. If anyone lives near the Kingston area and is inbetween 18-35 yrs old - we are always looking for good new players to at least come to training on a Thurs evening. Ok - I've done my bit for the side now! I'm so glad I'm a girl - I get to watch (and go to the pub after) & not play!
 

Andy McCulloch

Kristy what a marvellous picture!! for a minute I thought Andy was the one next to PG with his arms in front of his face but I found him next to Buzzbeelol
 

Andy McCulloch

Kirsty,

Just in case you're in any doubt at all of the esteem in which we hold your Dad, I even went to QRha, just to watch him play for Sheff Weds!

Thanks for registering to GPG!
 

Andy McCulloch

Bit late now but Andy was a great striker. Taking over from O'Mara was a tall order but he did it with style. It was a great sight to see little Stevie Phillips and big Andy tearing up defences.

Truely a class bloke and a very hard working player who never gave up.
 

Andy McCulloch

A distinct privilege

I chatted with Andy in the sponsors lounge after the Macclesfield game and what a great guy he is. Genuinly interested in what I had to say and as a bonus also got to meet Peter Gelson on the Tuesday as well. But I digress, Andy was not only a great player and a true Bees legend but he displays a degree of humility so rare in todays athlete:) :) :)
