..<\/p>\n\n\nTHE NAISSANCE OF THE GREAT ESCAPE<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Forty one days after the debacle in North Wales<\/strong><\/a> came at trip to Lincolnshire.  In the intervening period Murphy had begun to weave a bit of magic. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He took charge of his first league game a week after Caernarfon, and had an immediate impact as Cardiff were sent packing, (3-1). Despite a defeat at Hartlepool six days later, a draw down at Southend and a home win over Wrexham meant a return of 7 points from the 4 games.  Considering that the previous 15 had yielded just 6 this was pretty impressive.  What had been a six point gap from next to bottom Torquay had been reduced to a single point as Christmas arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had obviously looked at the resources available to him and, presumably not being over-impressed, brought in Andy Gorton, a goalkeeper from Oldham, and Les Robinson, a combative midfielder from Mansfield.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorton was a somewhat erratic character, (just type his name in Google to get some of the details), but one thing was for sure was he was a bloody good keeper. He was on loan from Oldham, and only played 14 games, but made sufficient of an impression to be brought back permanently the following season.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Robinson was more than a good player, and after 67 games with the Hatters, went to Doncaster, and later to Oxford where he had the majority of his 700+ game career.  These two had made an immediate difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boxing Day 1986 presented a trip to Lincoln and hopes of continuing this good run.  The Imps were 8th<\/sup> in the table, some 17 points better off than County so if nothing else this was going to be a real test of the improvement that had been apparent thus far under Murphy.   Getting to the ground there was news that two more signings had been made on Christmas Eve and both had made the short trip from Saltergate.  Phil Brown was a midfielder of whom not much was known, but the other was a Spireites legend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincil Bank as it was on my first visit on Boxing Day 1986<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ernie Moss had a long career but at Chesterfield, (in three separate spells) he racked up 469 games and hit the target on 162 occasions. It was a signing which certainly buoyed the travellers that day, and in the remainder of that season, (his only time with County), he got 7 goals from his 26 games, with 6 of those strikes bringing priceless points as we edged away from that dreaded relegation spot.  He left at the end of 1986\/87 but it wasn\u2019t the last time we heard of him.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a visit to the Northolme, Gainsborough, in January 2015, Ernie was a guest of the home club  Very, very sadly he had fallen victim to Picks Disease, a form of dementia, and quite rightly a collection was made around the ground to support research into this condition.  Whether this will uncover a link between heading a football and the onset of the disease only time will tell, but it has been reported by the Derbyshire Times that his will donate his brain to a \u2018bank\u2019 when he dies to help with research into the illness\u2019 link to football . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincil Bank has changed significantly since that festive fixture 32 years ago.  I stationed myself on a small terrace in front of the Main Stand \u2013 a structure which then had but 6 months left before demolition and replacement by what I\u2019ve always regarded as a strange construction.  It\u2019s tall, no doubt about that, but extends by no more than 20 yards on either side of the half way line.  Anyway the old stand was my vantage point for the day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincil Bank Main Stand – coming towards its end on my first visit<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the opposite side was the uncovered Sincil Terrace, and for a lower league ground it was more than adequate.  I did stand on there a couple of years later, but with the advent of progress that is now long gone as well.  Its replacement is definitely impressive.  A huge area of seating which must hold upwards of 5,000.  But, whilst spectator comfort has improved on that side, I do bemoan the loss of the sort of enclosure that formed from an early age my views on what a football ground should look like.  At either end there were small covered stands, terracing back in 1985, but converted to seating, and upgraded extensively since then. All in all I liked Sincil Bank as a ground as it was in 1985.  It was a pretty happy hunting ground as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That first game was itself\nless than memorable for the purist.  But\na goalless draw was further evidence of the progress that Murphy was making,\nand driving back across Woodhead there were some small embers of optimism.  And we didn\u2019t have to wait long to see this\nbuilt on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My views on the disappearance of the traditional Christmas programme are documented elsewhere. For many years the schedule always had games on both Boxing Day and 27th<\/sup> December, (except of course in those days when Sunday football was verboten).  It was still the case in 1986 \u2013 so 24 hours after the trip to Sincil Bank there was a home game against Peterborough.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An uncovered side terrace – in the league days seen only twice elsewhere at the Goldstone Ground and London Road<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A convincing 3-1 win featured a hat-trick from Vernon Allatt, the first since John Kerr picked one up over two years previously in a 5-1 rout of Chester (\u2020).  We had to wait nearly three years for the next one \u2013 when Brett Angell went one better, getting 4 against Hartlepool.  He could have made it 5 as well, when he generously, (and many said foolishly), gave up the chance from the penalty spot, allowing George Oghani to get on the scoresheet. So as we wended our way back that Boxing Day evening, content in the impact that Murphy was having, little did we know that following his miracle job of preserving league status five months later he would quickly up sticks and take up the job at Lincoln.  He had the task of a quick return to the League.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

County might have been on the up and Lincoln having gone into the game in 8th<\/sup> place with 30 points were on the cusp of a cataclysmic slide.  They managed only a further 18 points from the remaining 26 games and plunged into the Conference on the last day as Burnley beat Orient.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A club which had been Football League Champions 27 years previously could well have been consigned to oblivion.  There had been all sorts of talk that relegation could spell the end for Burnley, with the local non-league outfit, Colne Dynamoes, who were on the crest of a well funded wave, being ready to take up occupancy of Turf Moor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History says, of course, that it didn\u2019t happen but coincidentally the next stop for me was to be another fallen giant \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2020 – I’ve since been reminded by Josh on the ‘Yellowboard’ that Allatt’s was a ‘perfect hat-trick’ – right foot, left foot and a header!! Thanks for jogging my memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
