My mate got his name on his brand new white skid mark kit for his birthday. The next day he left. Brilliant

I remember following a League Cup game versus..it think..Lincoln on teletext.

I think he scored 5. The game went like this...

best game Ive never seen.

Loved Tony Cottee. 2.5mil no?

I went to that game mate away to La La Lincolnshire ( that was there main song ). I think we won 5-2 and Rideout bagged a brace and a Cottee hat trick. I bunked off school and all I had was a 30p co op bottle of lemonade and a 6 pack of co op own brand crisps. Starving!!!

He often bigs up the blues on soccer Saturday .

Other highlights:
Equaliser in 4 4 derby !!

Crap crap player, the money wasted on him and other mediocrity by Harvey ensured our decline from the top

how in any logic the world can offer is our best goalscorer of the last 40 years "crap" and "mediocre"?

I loved Tony.

His reaction when he scored down the Park End against the RS one day cemented him in my mind as a legend.

Though I must say I called him for everything one Sunday down the Bridge circa 1992 when he missed a penno which led to us losing in the F.A. Cup.

Always thought he was a big waste of money. We paid about 3.2m for him which I think was a record fee at the time. Always bagged 3 in the league cup games and against the crap teams in the league then never scored for a month. The little man, little man partnerships he had with Johnson, Spencer would wreck my head.
