Torquay United Fans Forum

Left at the end of the 1963/64 season. Good player. Bumped into him at Millbrook a few times where he was the groundsman at the local football club. I always told him he was a childhood hero which he seemed to like! Sadly died a few years ago. He was another of those who attracted derision from that...

Stefano, I simply pointed out we didn't actually win the overall Southern League title. The Southern League Western Division wad on a par with the Eastern Division. Brighton beat us in the play off. I'm not debunking it, we were champions of the Western Division. Well I have been supporting now for...

Er, unlikely??? I'd say impossible - mathematically and theorectically impossible - the GD...<cough> :) Plainmoor78 is correct on this one which is a pleasant change. Mind you I haven't forgiven him for posting nonsense on another thread debunking our 1927 title win which got us into the Football L...

Running onto the pitch is, for Torquay United, a fairly recent phenomenon. Before that it was unknown. The Codgery will back me up on this; certainly there was no pitch incursion at the 1965 Spurs game or during the 1965-6 promotion season. Well even with a fading memory I can say that there certai...

Not yet 5-3

No such thing - probably a translation issue!

Woking won't keep their heads 2nd half and we'll kill them off in last 20 minutes. 5-2 Torquay.

He's like a big cuddly teddy bear really!

Long post to admit that you were wrong 😉 Nice of you to examine it in detail though! ;-) I did correct myself a couple of posts later and say that I had miscalculated and that we would actually be 7 points ahead when we played Woking and not 8 as originally stated. However despite my timely correct...

I think we will be 8 points clear at the top by the time we play away to Woking so I don't think the game will have the significance everybody thinks. Still, no good getting ahead of myself. One game at a time. A professional win away today while Woking draw at home will kick it off.........and alt...

I don’t actually think we have ever won a competitive league ever, we have won promotions through promotion places and playoffs but not a title. 1927 champions of the Southern League - a significant title as it saw us elected into the Football League Division 4 to replace Aberdare Athletic. That se...

From the looks of their forum they are imploding! Or wilting as Sam predicted ..... GJ won't over react and will be all focus on the next game. We can though as we are not on the pitch. Excellent and hopefully our first top of the table since 1927 (as long as we don't count our reserves in the West...

Billericay lose at home to Hungerford. Whats going on? That's a crippler for Woking. Theres every possibility that we could now end up going to Woking with more than a 3 point cushion. If that happens the pressure is all on them and a result there could all but win us the league. I wouldn't rule ou...

Bugger! Need to re-calculate as I was rather banking on Woking managing a draw today! 8 points it is then!

...... no signs of wilting any more than us after 30+ games. I think just focussing fully on each game is really important and just doing what we can that is in our hands. COYY Give it time give it time. The wilting comes in the run in. Remember us in 1967/68, led the Division 3 (League 1) table th...
