Ok, as we are in a slight news lull, here's something to test you

We helped Spud get back in touch and meet up after many decades with the guy on the left today. Who is it?

Answer will be posted up tomorrow.

The legend Terry Johnson?

Good shout that, I remember like this nice guy used to chat to us kids in the day, after training in Priory Park.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Yeah looks like Terry Johnson, though minus the famous moustache!

 

[Whispering Bob]

" Terry, Terry Johnson, Terry Johnson on the wi-ng !"

The legend Terry Johnson?

Yep, top marks!

Picture now also posted up on SUEPA socials with a bit more info on it all.

Back to the nervy news lull now ...................

It shows you how good he was, he won Player of the Season in 1972/73, despite players like King Billy and Gary Moore knocking in the goals for fun. He was also a good goal scorer himself, twisting the defender this way then that, and could find the corner of the net with either foot. Gary once said, how could he fail to score so many headers with a crosser of the ball like Terry Johnson in the team.

This is a really great write up of Terry's career and well worth a read:

PS mods, assume you might now park this thread under Terry's name in Ex-Shrimpers, thanks

He was a quality winger, was is Bernie Lewis on the other wing ?

Terry Johnson , King Billy Best , Bill Garner , Gary Moore , Peter Taylor/ Bernie Lewis , perhaps the finest forward line Roots Hall has ever seen .

Dave Cunningham was pretty good too.

The happy days of a 2-3-5 formation
