Morecambe 1 [Evans] Yeovil 3 LIVE PLAYER THREAD

[Freez]

And some fell on stoney ground!!!
Thought we should have brought a Galley on early second half and then sub Kev for Timmins late on!

[skeletor]

who is Timmons?

[Freez]

Arnold's long lost half brother!!oops!

I think you're being a bit harsh on Jennings.

Maybe its because he was so good when he first arrived, maybe he sent my expectation levels too high?
Interestingly, you dont question my thoughts on Murphy

Right, I'll give you another chance, I really, really think you're being harsh on Jennings.

Oh dear, oh dear , oh dear



I mean Jack, sorry, Vera

Hi all, new here - couldn't let the above reference to Arnold Timmins go without a mention - he was my grandad

[marky No.1]

Your Grandad was brilliant and well respected round here

Bladdy ell you poor bugga , you must be totally confused introducing yourself on this post . All those players that were mentioned and we still lost , some players got blamed for a poor performance even though they were about 90 miles away . If only Arnold had come off the bench, it could have a much better result, but with Waynaldo returning soon results should start to improve .

[Freez]

And still is a legend.
Many years ago, when us and Chorley were two of the better sides in the NPL (early 90's) we identified Arnold in the crowd at Victory Park, so we got chatting. Us being in our late 20's and early 30's, he was a nice chap who had nothing but good things to say about MFC.
All the older supporters there that day couldn't talk to him, as he was Arnold Timmins, the baby faced executioner, a legend!!
Arnold happily agreed to complete a questionnaire for Corpus Christie ( one of the fanzines at the time ) which he sent through and we printed.
Top bloke.

He was known as "8 goal Arnie" after blasting 8 goals against Rossendale. I would think that must be a club record and it is likely to stand for ever.

Yeah takes from August to December nowadays

[raspy01]

You talk almost as highly of his ability as he did

It's through his affiliation that I've ended up following Morecambe - I have a load of old newspaper clippings from his time there, mostly surrounding when they won the Lancs Senior Cup against Burnley (I think??). Can't even imagine how good a day that must have been!

I have supported from a distance for a long time, up until the last couple of years when I've started getting to more and more home games - hoping to take the plunge and get myself a season ticket next year. Great club and great people (off-pitch nonsense aside).

Yes it was a great night and as an 8 year old was my first ever game. The crowd were packed in like sardines and I can still remember a bit of the game. Funnily enough not the goals or the team with the cup, but one of our players leaping in front of us and powering a header goal wards (Might have been Timmins but not sure). Having just started playing myself (with the old heavy leather caseys) I think it stuck in my memory all this time because I thought it must have hurt because of the weight of the balls in those days. I am a bit young to remember your grandad but he is a legend and is still talked about amongst the older end today 50 years later!

[marky No.1]

Thats brilliant! If I were you; I would just have to collect all the paper clippings together and mount them in a frame

[Alan]

I'm sure Shrimper told me that much archive stuff was lost in a fire at the newspaper offices
years ago, so some of those clippings might be worth archiving again.
Glen will know more details.

[Freez]

In fact, thinking back, our logo for Corpus Christie was a cartoon shrimp we called Timmins, if I could find an original copy I'll post it on here.

Yep - it was. And I'm not sure how many of the existing (more recent) paper files were taken to the new offices on White Lund.

Morecambe library has everything on microfilm and you can get photocopies - but actual cuttings will be rare.

- but actual cuttings will be rare.

I know for a fact that club historian and statistician Lawrence Bland has ALL newspaper clippings from The Visitor relating to MFC back as far as the 1950's.

One hell of a club record he's got. Superb.

John, thank you, saved me a job.
There he is in all his glory, Timmins the Shrimp.
Happy days indeed.

BRING BACK MAURICE GITT !!!!!!!

Now, the question is..... has anyone still got one of the Corpus Christie Sweatshirts ??!!!

[Keith]

BRING BACK MAURICE GITT !!!!!!!

He posts on Shrimpsvoices nowadays. I'll let you guess his pseudonym!

yes it was Burnley in the final, it was 1968 the year we did the treble, league winners ( the last time we did ) Junior cup & Senior Cup: manager Ken Waterhouse

That is absolutely brilliant! Was he aware that he'd had this shrimp named after him? If he was, can't imagine he'd be happy about the lack of hair, I'm told he was always very proud that he had a thick head of it

If I do have anything worth archiving I'd be very happy for it to fall into the right hands (temporarily) - who would be the best person to speak to?
