Turns out the journalist meant "at Barnet" - that game was at Cheltenham

Gowon Jerroll, i'm sure you can completely ruin that headline.

Dele Alli of course at MK Dons
Jordan Pickford has more League One clean sheets, from his time with Bradford City and Carlisle Utd, than he does in the Premier League.
Harry Kane's first goal was for Leyton Orient. Harry Macguire's at Oldham, Febian Delph, Nick Popes senior debut was for Cambridge Utd against Woking and especially Jamie Vardy.

So - with our favourite commentator standing down, we don't really have any World Cup links.

Can anyone think of any viable World Cup links? Have we played against any of the other countries teams players?
Kasper Schmeichel was in goal for Bury against us in September 2006 - the only game we ever scored in at Gigg lane!!

Ah but that wasn't the question I answered! Butland was injured for the game at Underhill that season!

Hat tip - that checks out. I've alerted the journalist - let's see if they change their published story based on that!
It was at Cheltenham's ground so the article is correct.

That wasn't how MCB worded the question though!!Although I did also point out that Harry Kane played at Underhill in Lee Harrison's testimonial for a Spurs XI

Yeh, it was my phrasing initially, Jerroll was correct. Twice! Whilst the journos point of it being 'at Barnet in a first team game' I kind of understand!

When I saw Andy Yiadom and Albert Adomah were playing for Ghana against Iceland the other night I got quite excited - two former Bees at the World Cup! Then I realised. Ghana haven't qualified. :doh:

Shows how interested I am in the 'greatest show in the world'. Severely bored and distracted.

WTF? What are you missing the excitement of our relegation battle? Cut through all the England hype and enjoy it. If you love footy it's a month of bliss. #lovefooty

I was an eleven year old lad on holiday in Wales, (don't ask) with my Dad. We were watching it on a b&w tv in a shop window, when the owner came out and invited us all in to watch seated with a cup of tea and biscuits to boot! Can't see that happening nowdays.
I was smitten with the prowess of the West Ham players!
I watched the game at a friend's house near Underhill in Greenhill Park. When we went 3-2 up I could not cope with the tension so went out for a walk up Greenhill parade and back. There were no cars driving along the high road and no other people out. When I returned to the house my friend's father turned and said the score was still 3-2. I replied "no, 4-2". I saw the final goal and he missed it when he turned round.
Thanks for your recounting Richard....sometimes it all seems like a dream! Everyone seemed so calm about it back then,very British...shaking hands after the win, (smoking a pipe!) no, not really......My Dad never really showed excitement. What would happen nowdays??!!

I was at Wembley that day with 2 other Barnet fans, sadly one is no longer alive. We were going on holiday that day and I drove to Cornwall straight from Wembley. We got there in the early hours of the morning to be greeted by 2 other Barnet fans who had driven down the day before and had a bit of a party and managed to wake up everyone on our holiday caravan site.

What car did you drive then Old Boy?
Bet it was an Austin Westminster or a Morris Minor. Did you take a Linvoy Stove and stop in a layby for a brew?

21 players in Prediction League so far I need more please!

Wrong about the car. What is a linvoy stove? We did stop in Marlborough for a couple of beers, pre breathalyser days, and some strong coffee in a cafe on the Exeter bypass.
