I remember as a 12 year old nervously approaching Peter Shilton at Leicester greyhound stadium and asking for his autograph after spotting him standing there and then realising I didn't have a pen or anything to write his signature on. He just smiled at me and then bent down and picked up a discarded tote ticket from the floor, took a pen from his jacket pocket and signed the ticket. I still have it now in an old suitcase in the loft along with lots of old town programmes.

Shilton, will be forever remembered for the hand of god, but I like to think of all the goals he prevented whilst jockeying with the late great Ray Clemence for the England yellow jersey. Not as good as Gordon Banks, but he was an excellent keeper. Look after that autograph mate, and the programmes are priceless 😁.

Shilton must have only been around 19 years of age at the time mate but had already played for Leicester in the old first division for a couple of seasons. As a small 12 year old I looked up at him and he seemed like a giant of a grown man to me. I remember being star struck at the time lol.

The Horsham game wasn't shown anywhere so may be the same again this round.

I suspect not as i think most of the time league games are available due to the overseas streaming that is available and ends up being available. Dont think they do the overseas stuff like that for FA Cup games so its pretty unlikely anything would be available.

[Mr Mercury]

That?s my concern, thanks for the replies.

Didn't expect us to be on TV and I know Solihull are playing a league team, repeat of playoff final but what a dull game, can't see that attracting many to watch

If you like irony, I've been told that there's been a bit of campaign on the website of them who shall not be mentioned to trash their away end to make it as inhospitable as possible to give bromley some of their own medicine.
