NAME Mark Thomas

FIRST HOME GAME EVER SEEN:Early-mid  60s? - Les Dagger was playing with (George?) Rollo in goal.

FIRST AWAY GAME EVER SEEN Wrexham away 1966-67 - Arthur Peat drilled one into bottom corner  from 20 yards to get us a 1-1 draw.

BEST GAME EVER SEEN Slaughtering Stockport County 5-0 in Div 3 at Haig Ave Friday Oct 25 1968. Bliss and glory.
 

WORST GAME EVER SEEN : A 4-0 defeat at home to Bradford City in the mid-late 70s. Never felt lower than that - you could feel the end approaching

BEST OCCASION Seeing the side walk out at Wembley. What an achievement.

WORST OCCASION Failure to get re-elected to the league. Sat catatonic for an entire afternoon by a phone box on Anglesey after dad broke news.

FAVOURITE EVER PLAYER
League, George Andrews, Tommy O'Neill,  NPL Kevin Mooney and Derek Goulding, Conf Martin Clarke, a true club man and Steve Whitehall, skill and brains.

FUNNIEST MOMENT WATCHING SFC Watching my brother (trainee doctor) vault onto the pitch at the Blowick End telling ref that Crewe's keeper (Willy Mailey?) was unfit to continue after clash of heads. We won 4-0.

BEST GOAL SEEN SCORED BY SOUTHPORT PLAYER Every Port goal is, briefly, the best goal I've ever seen. Even Pell at Halifax is one of the best I've ever seen

BEST GROUND VISITED :       Wembley.

ANECDOTES: : Borussia MG once trained at Haig Ave prior to a Euro tie at Everton. Their keeper let me take penalties at him. Third go, i got one into the bottom corner at the Brick End. The net rippled. Great joy
