Now onto this week’s Town Legends’ feature, and a big thanks to Paul Hollas for his recollections.
“Howdo! Around 1978/1979 I was at the fair in Leeds Road with my younger brother Rick when some older lads approached us and said why aren’t you watching Town? (I could have said the same thing back, but they were bigger than us!)
“We trudged off to the Leeds Road stadium and we sneaked in through the open gates and entered the Cowshed for the last 15 minutes of the game (the gates to the stadium were usually always opened 15 or so minutes before the final whistle).
“It was the Mick Buxton era and naturally me and my brother became instantly hooked on Town.
“Unsurprisingly, my first Town hero was from that era, in Steve ‘Kindo’ Kindon. I’ve had a few sleeps and a few beers since then, so my memories may be dulled, but what I do remember is how powerful he seemed to be.
“He would go on a surging run and let rip with a belter of a shot. Whenever he had the ball, you always felt that he could do some damage with it, there was always an edge of excitement.
“There have been many Town legends over the years, some known for their skills and others because they had a go and put in a shift.
“But my next two heroes are from a time after Messrs Kindo, Lillis and Co and are brought to you with the letter B; Bully and Boothy.
“Darren Bullock, (1993 to 1997) to me was a no-nonsense midfield tackler who never seemed to give up. I used to feel sorry for the opposition players when Bully was breathing down their necks.
“His teammate Andy Booth (1992-1996 and 2001-2009) as we all know, led the front line for Town. He was another player who put in everything every time he played in the mighty Blue and White – oh and yes he scored one or two goals as well.
“There are many Town players I could blather on about, but that’ll do!”
