I liked Vinter though, as said, he got more criticism than he deserved. Always put a shift in despite the criticism he sometimes received. RIP.

Going back to John Lyons - I also recall a home match very near to Christmas around that time v West Ham United - just after half time he blasted one of his trade mark penalties into the roof of the net in front of the kop to put us 4 - 1 up - couldn't believe it at the time, us beating WHU by such a scoreline - mind you Bryan 'Pop' Robson scored two late goals to make the last few minutes 'big twitchy bum time' but we held out to win 4 - 3 - great times and good entertaining players. |

The game you are referring to was the following 79 / 80 season played on 18/08/79 v West Ham United which ended 1 - 0 attendance 13,036. Very difficult to believe it was all the best part of 40 years ago when we were mixing it with the 'big boys'. |

Re: RIP Mick Vinter
Daily Post headline for the opening game of the 79-80 season was 'Dalglish vintage - from Vinter' (clever pun from Bob Whiting!!) Opening paragraph read 'West Ham sailed in with all the elegance of the tall ships. They limped home bedraggled as a Fastnet fleet'
Eddie Niedzwicki and Joey also produced superb performances. |

Re: RIP Mick Vinter
Memory not what it was but was the goal in the 1-0, the one where Phil Parkes (the keeper) and Billy bond took each other out leaving Vinter to walk the ball into the empty net in front of a packed tech end away following?
Possibly the only player to score a hat trick on his last game for us. Sad news. |
