It was a very handy pocket size version.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The picture, (from the game against Mansfield in April 1983 when we drew 1-1 thanks to Mike Power strike) features Tommy Sword, (quite possibly in the previous weeks home game against Chester). The background is a singularly unoccupied (what is now) Block F of the Main Stand with the paddock still in front at that point. It was filled in shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#ffffff\"><strong>WEBSTER TAKES CHARGE AND QUINN ARRIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The visit of Peterborough on the opening day of 1982\/83 was my sole &#8220;miss&#8221; this year.  Once again cricket called. It marked a notable day in English football,  Not for anything that happened on the greensward that day, but more for the fact that it was the first of 731 club appearances made by David Seaman.  The Posh had acquired him from Leeds for \u00a34,000 a couple of weeks previously. Terry Park was the first player to make him pick the ball out of the back of the net in a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The previous season, (1981\/82) had ended in grim style.  In 14 home games from January to May 1982 we won but 3 times and it showed in the League table.  We ended up 18th, just 3 places and the same number of points above the re-election zone.  It marked the departure of Jimmy McGuigan after 30 months or so in the hot-seat. He had been singularly unable to match the managerial success he had previously enjoyed at Crewe; Chesterfield and Rotherham.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Eric Webster, (below), moved into the managers chair in time for the start of the 1982\/83 season. I have the highest regard for the job he did at EP. Groundsman; youth coach; and now manager. I still believe to this day that without his contribution the Club would have failed to survive in the mid 80&#8217;s. He did the utmost with what the most limited of resources, and boy oh boy, did he know a footballer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide has-background wp-block-media-text has-very-light-gray-background-color\" style=\"grid-template-columns:17% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"187\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Eric-Webster-e1584636706941.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Eric Webster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">A full appreciation of Eric can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1980s\/eric-webster-an-unsung-hero\/\"><strong>&#8216;Eric Webster &#8211; An Unsung Hero&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The Peterborough game marked the debut not only of Seaman, but facing him was Micky Quinn in his first appearance for the Hatters.  The tale of how he arrived at EP is told more fully in <strong><a aria-label=\"Away Day 5 (Gresty Road) (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1970s\/gresty-road-crewe-alexandra\/\" target=\"_blank\">A<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1970s\/gresty-road-crewe-alexandra\/\">way Day 5 (Gresty Road)<\/a><\/strong> but being paid to take a player off someone&#8217;s hands and then seeing him score more than regularly, then selling him on for the bank managers dream of \u00a352,000.  He  developed Dean Emerson and then picked up a decent fee when he moved to Rotherham.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">But his assessment of a player, and its uncanny accuracy, came across most starkly to me one Saturday morning when both he and I ended up at Lower Gigg Lane, Bury watching a Lancashire League game.  It was in autumn 1988 and we got talking.  I mentioned that I had been quite impressed with Brian Butler, who had joined the Club a couple of months previously  Eric just said, &#8220;He&#8217;s ok but he hasn&#8217;t the physical capacity to last a full season&#8221;.  He didn&#8217;t.  After being a regular until March 1989 he then faded out and moved on at the end of the campaign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Webster was also responsible for recommending Tony Hancock to then manager Asa Hartford.  He came into the team from playing Sunday League football;  made a huge impact, (5 goals in 12 + 10 appearances), and then moved to Burnley for \u00a350,000!  Younger County fans will never know how much they owe to Eric Webster &#8211; without him it&#8217;s more than likely there would be no club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeef0;grid-template-columns:39% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7551 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-1536x909.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Team-Picture-1982-83-2048x1211.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Squad 1982\/83<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Back (l to r): Andy Thorpe; Nigel Smith; Steve Sherlock; Micky Wardrobe; Brian Lloyd; Tommy Sword; Paul Bowles; Terry Park; Tony Coyle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Front (l to r): Trevor Phillips; John Rutter; Oshor Williams; Dean Emerson; Mike Quinn<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We finished the year well.  The two Christmas fixtures, (two in two days), both brought wins over Blackpool, (3-0 at home), and then the following day it was a 2-0 win on my first visit to Sealand Road.  But the highlight of 1982 for me was a 3-2 win over Crewe a couple of weeks before the festive season.  Quinny smashed a hat-trick.  He was rampant that day and his overall performance was justifiable reason for him being my favourite County player in all of the 57 years I&#8217;ve been watching them!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
