OB1 wrote:After the Flashman era I got heavily involved with the Barnet FC survival fund. Ricky made a generous donation to this. After a while he tried to take over the club. Some of us were worried that he didn't have the resources to do this and we opposed his attempted takeover. I remember him at one of the creditors meetings standing at the back of the hall with his mobile phone trying to contact his rich backer without success. Eventually David Buchler, who was an insolvency expert, bought the club, sorted out the debts and after a while sold it to Tony Kleanthous. Ricky wrote a book called "one goal one horse" in which he said that he regretted falling out with me and Steve Percy.
So TK coming to Barnet is indirectly your fault?

Uh oh , you're in trouble now.

Ricky proposed him as a director of Barnet FC but the FA refused to allow the appointment because of the family connection with Arsenal.

As a young teen I found the signs some form of viagra advertising. Was Fred Stiff partly involved? Sending off for my BFCSA card and newsletters caused some amusement.

Personally I don't believe any of what I have read on here. I think it is all a cock and bull story.

You're right of course - memory playing tricks with me after all these years. Not sure what happened to Glynne but we should all be grateful to him for his role in saving the club. For those talking about letting the current club die because of our present predicament, be careful what you wish for. I remember the feeling of emptiness and desolation that I, and I'm sure others, felt when it genuinely seemed like we would no longer have a club to support for the following season.

That's the Crewe game innit? Always wondered what happened to that guy pictured to the right of Nicky. I think his name may have been Johnson. Played a couple of games at the start of that season, then just disappeared.

I believe I saw Barry Fry drive in shortly before kick-off. Is he still on enforced holiday?

Yes - I spotted him too! I was going to say "glad that you have been released early" but thought better of it! Always one of my favourite players from yesteryear.
I love Luisma & really miss his skils!
