STANDING ORDER FOR GOALDEN LOTTERY
FAN PROFILE
NAME- Darrol Tourle an exiled (in Portsmouth) fan
FIRST HOME GAME EVER SEEN- 18 April 1987 v Bangor
City when we lost 1-0 in front of 465 fans.
FIRST AWAY GAME EVER SEEN-The 1-1 draw in the HFS
League Cup at Goole in December 1988 when Clint Neysmith scored our goal in
front of 280 fans.
BEST GAME EVER SEEN-The FA Cup tie in November 1988 v
Port Vale and the 7-0 home win against Gateshead the following Saturday.
WORST GAME EVER SEEN-The defeat in the FA Cup against
Farnborough and cup ties at Accrington and Mossley spring to mind.
BEST OCCASION-It’s getting predictable this one now
but it has to be Wembley. I also enjoyed the cup tie at Aylesbury against Dover.
WORST OCCASION-The crowd disturbances and violence
against Port Vale when some non Southport fans decided to try and make a name
for themselves
FAVOURITE EVER PLAYER-David Eyres and the much
underrated Clint Neysmith
FUNNIEST MOMENT WATCHING SFC-The floodlights failing v
Gateshead at half time and living within half an hour of Havant &
Waterlooville FC but not attending the FA Cup tie. I bet everyone is wondering
why now but Darrol hasn’t said!
BEST GROUND-West Leigh Park, Havant as it is so close to me
living in Portsmouth
I first attended Southport when I was at school in
Southport (Stanley High) by bus. Soon I was hooked and when I moved to
Portsmouth because my dad was in the Navy I maintained my interest. I still try
and attend a game at Easter.
I now own all the Southport replica shirts since 1988-89
and managed to get the HFS Loans shirt just in time to wear at the England v
Poland WC Qualifier at Wembley.
I still get the programmes sent to me and I am looking
forward to this years Easter fixtures.
Thanks to Darrol for this.
