In 1990 we played Yeovil in the FA Cup at Griffin Park.

Can anyone tell me (possibly via an old programme?) what the Yeovil squad was that day?

The reason being is that one of the other Dads at my lads football club reckons he played for Yeovil that day and I think he maybe being a bit economical with the truth. ;)

Yeovil Line-Up: 1. David Fry, 2. Jeff Sherwood, 3. Steve Harrower, 4. Mark Shail, 5. Steve Rutter, 6. Joe Jackson, 7. Robbie Carroll, 8. Peter Conning, 9. Derek Dawkins, 10. Mickey Spencer, 11. Tiv Lowe,
Subs: 12. Paul Hirons, 14. Neil Cordice

Was he?

Nope! But I suspected as much which is why I asked.

His name is Chris Bryant and I can't find any history at all regarding him and Yeovil.

My first ever Brentford match. We won 5-0 which, with the benefit of hindsight, set my expectations a little too high.

Tell him he's bullshitting because you were in the Bees team that day and you can remember all thirteen Yeovilians.

Once met a man by the name Lenny Lodge.Played for Arsenal,Palace,QPR and Brentford.Told me the managers he had played for and everything.Great storyteller,right laugh and a likeable bloke.His auto boigraphy was a sell out and he is best of mates with Stan Bowles,Rodney Marsh and Kenny Sansom.A first teamer too in the late 70s early 80s.His days and nights with "Tel"Hurlock were fantastic and how him and Stan Bowles stopped GP from burning down.I met this guy in Thailand 5 years ago and reading this thread reminded me of Len.The great Leonard Lodge the footballer who never was.

Definately a Lenny.He also said that Kenny Sansom was with him,but we never saw him.We did press him on games etc but he kept saying before your time mate and all that.Last time i saw him i let on i was a Bees supporter and thats when he said"is that the time,Kenny(Sansom)wont be happy with me,im late"......was entertaining at least and when you knew he was a bullshitter you just let him carry on.

I was in the cross lances pub in hounslow, years ago. Joe James was a regular. I remember i went in there with a work collegue, who had never met him and the conversation turned to football. Joe, a very modest man, happened to say that he had played in front of 60,000 at highbury and 70,000 at wembley. My mate came to the bar and said that Joe lived in a fantasy world..L0L

:yes: Or, better still, buy THIS and give it to him for Xmas as a momento. It will make him feel like the right c*** he clearly is :sorted:.

what the hell sort of name is "11. Tiv Lowe" :rolleyes:
 

Statto required.....

remember about 20 or so very cider'd up aggressive looking chappies walking into the brickies before the game, the whole place going quiet and waiting to see what would happen next, ken refusing to serve them, unbelievably they leave quietly BUT all then climb onto the cars parked outside and march over them all down towards the red lion.....very surreal lol lol
probably the first time the riot police were called into the ground ever during the game to deal with that said lot and more who were misbehaving very badly in the new road away caged area ;)

Cheers for that - I don't get why anyone in this day and age would tell porkies about something like that. As if I wouldn't check??

Might tell him I played bass in Metallica for a short stint in the 80's and see what happens.....

Iwouldn't if I was you. He'll probably say he was a groupie around the same time and you'll find out you shagged him.

Making up sh*t to give girls used to be a fun part of youthful nights out. I hate to think that they can now google 'Lionel Blair School of Dance' on their phones and say, 'piss off, you're not listed as one of their teachers'...

Easy to get around though. Just Google search your own name until you find someone interesting, then pretend to be him. That way you can't get caught out. That's what I do :yes:. Mind you, I wouldn't recommend this method if you're called Murray Jones :sad:.
