TBF, she's clocked up an impressive no. of games , I remember her from way, way, back. (and without FP and GD none of us would have been much the wiser as gleaning info from the Albion wasn't easy back in the day). I always found her and Simon ok although I didn't actually know them well. They became very polarised about Megson and it pissed many off, it's just a point of view, after all.
Indeed they have. Simon and Glynis are ok, as is Steve Carr, whose written books on the local non-League game. They were the driving force behind the Fingerpost fanzine. Actually, the Fingerpost Editorial Team split in early 1992 (Simon, Terry, Glynis and Steve), and this was when Grorty Dick began. Fingerpost carried on for a while, until the 92/93 season, or towards the end of it. Recently, I bought Simon's book and I knew Glynis' niece, Dawn, and Dawn's brother whose name escapes me. They lived in Greets Green; the next road from where my Grandad lived.
We had Albion fans dominant in editing the Off The Ball fanzine too - a fanzine which started before When Saturday Comes.
On another note, who remembers the season we had 3 fanzines?
I also knew Dawn. She was at Sheffield Poly at the same time as me. Lovely girl. I thought I was an Albion nerd but she was at least my equal, possibly more so.
I’ll always associate her with the QPR semi final at Highbury as me and my mates stood with her crowd. Not a great way of remembering someone
