Autumn 2004Bob's 1970 -71 DiaryNovember 200428 November Next Generation News Most neutrals like me had probably not heard of Neil Mellor until he scored a rocket of a goal in the last minute of Liverpool's 2-1 home Premiership victory. Before I knew it there were interviews with his dad, Ian Mellor, on Sky Sports News, at which point I realised he is the son of the former Manchester City star. Both Ian and Neil are thus wecolmed to the site. Ian signed from Wythenshaw Amateurs in December 1969, and made his League debut as a twenty year old in the 1970-71 season itself. He appears on the Manchester City page. Neil now appears on the Sons and Daughters and Current Next Generation Player pages. This is Neil's third season, all on Liverpool's books, though last season he played all his first team football whilst on loan to West Ham United. He had made his Premiership debut on New Year's Day 2003 in a 1-0 away defeat to Newcastle United. Up to this point, Neil had scored three goals for Liverpool in the League Cup (two earlier in the season in a 2-0 home victory against Middlesbrough), and a couple for West Ham United in Division One (now Championship), but this was his first Premiership goal in what was his first Premiership game that he has ever been in the starting line-up. 25 November Sammy McIlroy (Man U apprentice) leaves Stockport County by mutual consent. Stockport are presently bottom of League One. This is the first time Sammy has been reported as a Bob 70-71 Player. He signed professional forms in August 1971, but is listed in the Official history as an apprentice in the 70-71 season. Yorkshire Evening Post claim that David Pleat (Peterborough United) was consulted in the process that led to Crystal Palace player, Shuan Derry, not signing for Leeds United after it had already been announced that he was signed, though all official sources deny this. David has not got a footballing post since leaving Spurs in the Summer. 24 November Harry Redknapp, winner of the Premiership's manager of the month award in October has left Portsmouth. Harry insists it's his choice to go, but it does happen after the recent appointment of Velimir Zajec as executive director. On Monday (22 November 2004) there were news reports that he was going to buy Bournemouth. Speculation is also rife that he will manage Wolves. Jim Smith (Boston United) his assistant manager also leaves. 23 November Sir Alex Ferguson manages his 1,000th match for Manchester United in his 18 year reign. The Champions League match, shown live on ITV1 was a 2-1 victory v Lyon, a win that takes the club through to the final knockout stage. John Gorman (Celtic) steps up to caretaker-manager at Gillingham as Andy Hessenthaler steps down. Hessenthaler will stay on at the club as player. 22 November George Best was featured on ITV1's cartoon satire, 2DTV again tonight. It featured George drinking at the 'Last Chance Bar', when he collapses. A Colina looking referee runs in and calls to a bench of substitute livers for one to come on. Not the Best of taste... 21 November Email: Subject: Hello From Canada
Thanks to Dave
Brett who offered to sort out something for
Michael.
See Dave's website at www.davebrett.com 19 November Email: Subject Charlie George
It’s not that easy a question to answer because in the Seventies there was no such thing as squad numbers and only a few people were associated with the one number as they are now.Looking at the records Charlie mostly played in the 8, 9, 10 or 11 shirt,and even wore the 4, 6 and 7 shirts occasionally. As well as the number 12 substitute shirt! In the famous FA Cup final when Arsenal won the double and he scored he was the number 11. 18 November Thanks very much to Peter Young, for sending a new Caught In Time of Blackpool.

Michael has scored 27 goals in 66 matches for England. Frank has scored 8 goals in 29 matches for England. The game was notable for being the home ground for both David Beckham and Michael. the game was marked by horrific racial abuse towards England players by a section of the Spanish crowd.

Bob
I answered ... It is only a homepage, I do not made money from the site, and hence cannot afford to make any payment for them. Which pictures do you refer to, so that I can remove them ?
I promise you absolutely none of the images have been (deliberately) taken from the website, I wouldn’t do that, but they may well be your property, generally the pictures have been scanned from old comics. The obituary page ones have come from the BBC website, and the BBC have often written to me and never complained about it, I just presumed they were ok with it. I’m very committed to removing the pictures you want me to, but I honestly don’t know which ones are yours so you would need to tell me. Essentially, and I realise that this not a concern of yours, (I am concerned that) you are effectively bringing my website to a close, and it has had 6 years of my life invested in it so do have a heart. I have tried to get pictures legitimately, but the cost is so high for a person for whom this is a hobby. Is there anyway I can use the pictures legitimately? I went onto your website last night and you have such incredible pictures and the only context is selling them which is very soulless and rather sad. Can I not show the picture and link through to you for anyone who wants to buy it? I get the picture you get the sale that sort of arrangement ? I think if you spent more time examining the site you will realise that stealing the pictures is not what it’s about, my interest in the subject is genuine. The Trevor Francis picture one is from a ‘Football League Review’ in the 1970-71 season, it was not sneaked from your site. In fact I even have a link to you on my links page.
As you have left aside the issue of how I can do this legitimately, I presume the money involved would make this impossible. Shame about the Crawford / Francis pictures because they are both from the 70-71 season. I do understand the explanation you offer re business and charity, but actually these arguments do not really hold for the pictures from over 30 years ago, I very much doubt the people who took them get a penny in royalties now, and didn’t benefit too much at the time either. I happen to know the likely photographer of the Trevor Francis picture because he contacted the website, and I severely doubt he would object to its use on my site, but heigh-ho. One aside about the word ‘hobby’. If I had paid myself just the minimum wage for every hour I put into it, it would have cost me many thousands of pounds doing it, and judging by the number of hits and emails I get, it provides a real service for people. Sadly, I’m no businessman. This
said, the real reason I write in reply to your email is
that I appreciate your apology, and ‘best of
luck’ and ‘informative site’ comments. I’m less clear as to which 1970s pictures I will need to eliminate and will continue to follow your advice in this respect. All the pictures you’ve highlighted should be gone now, and I’ll await advice re any more. 1 November Berti Vogts (Star Players of Mexico 1970) resigns as Scotland's manager.He was manager for two and a half years See BBC SPORT Football Photo Galleries Vogts' reign in pictures October 200426 October Frank Burrows (Swindon Town) becomes the caretaker manager of West Bromwich Albion following the sacking of Gary Megson. 23 October Bill Nicholson dies.
