Like has been posted, it was nothing to do with the current board, it was a trust organised event, so why the big deal of carson not being there, personally I'm glad he wasn't.

It was a look at the history not a look at the idiot event

Haha very true. We're you the one In the tailored shorts? 😊

You were on the next table to us I think next time I will pal

[moondog]

Just been reading the programme for the event, Who were the winners of the individual awards, I know Ernie won an achievement award and greatest striker award but who won

Greatest goalkeeper, manager, defender, captain, midfielder, cult hero and season ?

Don't know who selected the nominees but some in my opinion were ridiculous e.g. Martinez as a cult hero!

[spireitetoo]

Goalkeeper... ron powell iirc
Manager.... jonny no goals.
Captain ... herbert munday
Midfielder... tom fenoughty... iirc
Cult hero.... mark kendall... i too could not see why martinez made the list.
Season.... can't remember.could be 46/47?? ... i may have had a beer or 2 by this point...lol
Match ... 97 semi final.

I will be putting the nomination films and the winners on the @CFCFPA feed this week.

Gordon dale won the midfielder award. Blakey the defender.

The cult heroes were selected out of a Speakeasy session. Angel was a regular in The HUB for obvious reasons.

Aide Shaw was the guest on our table and you couldn't have met a nicer bloke. Really friendly and very interesting to chat to as he's still heavily involved in the game.

Indeed X 2

The most senior member of the Club's staff, Sally Swain, did attend.

Unsurprising, when you consider another post on this thread.

I expected Bob Newton to be on.

Very surprised Dyche wasn't nominated as captain and/or defender

The cult heroes had a criteria of playing less than 50 games for us I believe.
We had 150 years to cover, we couldn't have everybody just from the last 50 years....

Well you managed it as everyone on this shortlist had played well within the last 40 years....

Newt, here as a player for as long as Angel, was a regular too, although not down at the hub

The Cult heroes and Captains were the difficult ones (as to some extent was the midfield).

The positional awards and nominations usually went with appearances.

Defining midfield when it was 2-3-5 was more difficult so i looked at the wider half-backs as well as the outside-right and left. For this category everyone who saw him play described Gordon Dale as the best player they ever saw for the Club. He was sold to the league champions for £20k when the world record was £34k.

Captains were not always noted but Munday was recorded as the Club's captain for some time. Milburn was noted for his captaincy. After this I went with blokes who lifted trophies inj the main. Dyche came close thus the use of his as a headline image.

I gave Bob Newton the same prominence for the cult hero although the 50 game limit excluded him. I had fletch on my original list but he was replace by Tcham after a speakeasy session. Kendall was a shoe-in for this but finding unusual fans' favourites from before recent memory was a struggle.

For the final list there was only one change from the wider "heritage group" that being Stevenson for Jim Brown. Jim's wider contribution might see him considered for the top award at some point.

great natural talent. Galvanised the whole team. Nobody at Tairn could understand how we got him for 12 games. That story would be interesting.
