We had no real leader to scream & shout & drag us through that game.

Spot on. We lost that game before the start.

Have to fight for every point no matter who against.

We are entitled to fuck all.

Just wait til Tuesday - managed to find a long lost cine-film of the post-match celebrations 😉!

That blue? (and yellow perhaps?) Could it be a tribute to our legendary former #nufc striker Andreas Andersson? 🙏

Thanks for your hard graft @worflags.org.uk 👏

Signed for Altrincham ‘66 (7 in 7) & Sligo Rovers 67/68 (6 apps)

Then played locally into his 50’s in Huddersfield for David Brown Tractors (of Aston Martin DB fame), Ossett Town (alongside Jimmy Kerray!) & Elland United.

HT cuppa below with some bloke who could play a bit too😉

Len White scored arguably the greatest ever goal at Edgeley Park v Barnsley - 35yd volley top corner.

Also put Stockport County 1-0 up at Anfield in the cup with a header - his mates celebrated around him as he lay concussed in the box.

Inducted in Stockport County Hall of Fame in 2006!! 👏

Heavy snow on The Pennines almost prevented Len from signing for Stockport. He abandoned his trip but,determined to sign him, their manager came to Len instead by train!

Len top scored for The Hatters (10 in 22 -despite only signing in Jan’65, followed by 15 in 36).

Len White
Total 153 goals in 270apps

Last goal for nufc v Sunderland

Enough for HofF?

Suffered a few serious injuries - notably by Dave Mackay 1961 in last seconds of a game (after scoring 28 in 33games).
Struggled to regain form & was sold to Huddersfield Town in part-exchange for Jimmy Kerray
