Club Ownership

Not wishing to disagree with tomogull (after all, Colin Bettany is his favourite player) brucie, as always, is talking sense and saying things that, too often, dare not speak their name. It's difficult to see nay light at the end of what is going to be a very, very long tunnel. I wish TUST all the b...

Top 100 Torquay United Players

I'm going to continue the backlash, I'm afraid. I re-iterate that Mr. Plymouth has done an excellent job - but Robin 7th! Absolutely ridiculous! I've watched TUFC since the end of the 62-63 season and there's no-one to compare with Robin. Of course, I didn't vote (mea culpa) so my backlash is necess...

Southport v Torquay

Yong is actually Korean. United signed him on Friday from Hangshan Rovers of the South Korean Professional League (Division 3). His full name is Yong Kim Lee.

Fantastic video put up by Mr. Trojan; it's remarkably clear for its age. John Charles ! Whew! I saw him play for Wales vs Hungary and England at Ninian Park in early 1963. Also playing was the great Ivor Allchurch.

I must apologize for not voting; I can't think why I didn't. But, yes, Mr. Plymouth has done an excellent job, even if I disagree with most of the results.

Southport v Torquay

Tomorrow is when the chickens finally come home to roost. With Campbell, Briscoe and Bowman out (if the latter two are), then my prediction is a 6-0 defeat - if not more.

Correction, sorry. I should say I agree ALMOST totally with Mr. Phippsy as I would put Robin at No.1.

Don Mills 10th! Never. We'll be seeing Robin outside the top three next.

Woking v Torquay TUE 24TH

I don't care what anyone says - I support brucie! Incidentally, why do some people mistakenly call him Terry?

Top 100 Torquay United Players

This of course is the problem with such a list. The Spottymob element (who never experienced anything but the second rate at Plainmoor) would naturally vote for third-raters like Kevin Hill (as much as he is admired for his loyalty). To see -say - a reasonable footballer like Alex Russell (good, but...

Top 100 Torquay United Players

Once again, Mr. Chunkygull is right. Even today, among the senile delinquents, whenever there's a free kick in a scorable position, the cry goes up 'Lors! Lors!' Mark Loram is in the Top 3 outstanding players for TUFC I have seen since first going to Plainmoor in April 1963 (when Brian Handley was c...

Is Hargreaves fit for purpose?

I agree with Mr. Chunkygull. Robin Stubbs if a club legend; is Hargreaves anywhere near him? No.
