Joe Harper

Khalekan · January 6, 2015

i don't know why this came into my head just now but the first time ever I watched us play Hammers was in 1973 and I was stood in the Street End right behind the goal when Joe Haroer scored the only goal of the game.

There's one for the teenagers.

OK....who else was there?

If it was 73-74 I would have been there,first season ticket that year,dire days,Lawson,tiger mac,Kenyon,mick Bernard and the rest!

Yes....October '73.

Great days, though the team wasn't good.

Wee Joe had come down from Aberdeen about a year before and must have beef one of Harry's last signings.

Those names bring back fond memories, Dario.....plus we had one of my all time favourites on the left wing.....the magician that was John Connolly

I was there too.
I desperately wanted the little fella to succeed

I was in the Goodison road paddock that day, standing right behind the away team dug out

...I'm sure I was there. Harper came with a lot of promise but he was a disappointment. 1973 and doing O Levels, how time flies.

Mick Bernard looking a little overweight!

This thread had me properly confused for a minute, until I realised it was Joe, and not Alan Harper, you were referring to.

Joe Harper always looked like he'd just come off the back of 10 pints of Watneys and 20 woodbines, which he probably had.

Looks like Joe's got a bit of a semi there ?
It's an omen I tell you, we're going to Wembley for a semi !!

Yes I was there too in The Street. I was made up when we signed Joe Harper but he didn't really gel here did he. John Connolly was great on the wing...I mentioned in another thread about the Altrincham replay at OT - John was the victim of a terrible alehouse tackle in the first game at Goodison and he broke his leg.
