  • The happiest of memories.

  • What a night that was!

    A sign of my age, I know, but I had forgotten we missed a penalty in the game.

  • The moment I knew we were going to go up

  • @Right_in_the_Middle, surely the best diving header from aWycombe player has to be Mark West at Wembley?

    Interesting highlights from a Kidderminster point of view:-

    or why night make a night of it and watch the whole match:-

  • Can’t watch that without hearing Shiny, Happy People over it (was on the video we released).

    But forgotten how soft their goal was

  • They were a great side, though, Kidderminster, under Graham Allner. Really fluent, with good movement. And Lillwall, who was excellent in their midfield, went on to have a decent career with West Brom - played against us in the cup game.

  • I have read through the whole thread and am still no wiser on who are Wycombe's great lepers?

  • Adam Al Abd did well in the air for a relatively small centre back

  • @wingnut said:
    John Delaney was a wonderful header and scored many goals from corners. He was tall though so had a height advantage which he made the most of.

    Many a striker would give their right arm to score 65 goals in 228 appearances. I probably could have put it better than that but you know what I mean.

    @JohnnyAllAlone none I hope.! Covid is bad enough.

  • Jason Cousins could get up well for headers despite not being the tallest. When his legs started to go, and was moved into the middle, he didnt lose many headers.

  • No one has mentioned JP Pittman yet. I recall that he had a good leap for a smallish forward.

  • And the other one was Frank Sinclair, who has far too small to be a centre half in the modern game (5ft 9 inches according to Wikipedia) but who won multiple headers due to the height and timing of his jumping.
