STANDING ORDER FOR GOALDEN LOTTERY
|
FAN ZONE This weeks Fan Zone is a bit different. I asked on Port Chat
if any of our fans would be interested in doing a Fan Profile to be included in
the programme and had one or two responses so to start off I thought I would
look at one of our younger fans. NAME-Phil Lavery aka Amnesiac FIRST
HOME GAME EVER SEEN- 3 January 1994 at
home to Northwich Victoria, quite how I got hooked following a 0-0 bore draw
I’ll never know! FIRST
AWAY GAME EVER SEEN-I’m not quite
sure, my memory is very poor( which partly explains my “Amnesiac” alias on
Port Chat) it was probably around 1997 BEST
GAME EVER SEEN- Without a shadow of a doubt it
was against Mansfield in the 2nd round of the FA Cup in 1997/98
season. The atmosphere created by the travelling Sandgrounders on a freezing
December afternoon was incredible and to see us play high-flying Mansfield off
the park on their own patch is a memory I will never forget. WORST
GAME EVER SEEN-It would have to be the 4-0
drubbing dished out by Barrow at Haig Avenue, Boxing day 1999. Enough said! BEST
OCCASION(S)-Getting to Wembley and beating Mansfield and Notts County
in the FA Cup are the obvious ones. Other occasions that stand out are Robert
Pell’s injury time equaliser at Altrincham in the 3rd Round of the
FA Trophy replay which led to us winning 4-3 on penalties: Mark Wrights first
“official” game in charge at Morecambe, a 6 goal thriller was also a bit
special! WORST
OCCASION(S)-The FA Trophy QF
defeat at Chester during 2000-01 season was a bitter pill to swallow and of
course that fateful day at Stevenage last season when we were relegated. FAVOURITE
EVER PLAYER-Brian Butler, I
have never seen a more committed player in my life, seeing how upset he was as
he walked up to collect his runners up medal at Wembley brought a lump to my
throat! FUNNIEST
MOMENT WATCHING SFC-when Andy Gouck’s
rip roaring strike at Morecambe quite literally tore the net apart at the away
end, the game was delayed whilst two Morecambe officials stood on step ladders
and attempted to fix it with a piece of string!! BEST
GOAL SEEN SCORED BY SOUTHPORT PLAYER-Tommo v
Dagenham in the Trophy replay, last
minute wonder goal, or, Chris Lane v Notts County in FA Cup, good build up and
sublime finish. BEST
GROUND VISITED WATCHING SFC- Besides
Wembley, it’s a toss up between Yeovil’s Huish Park and Rushden &
Diamonds Nene Park. |
