The centre picture features Mike Power in action at the Cheadle End in the game against Colchester a couple of weeks previously.<\/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>GOALS AND ENTERTAINMENT &#8211; MIKE QUINN<\/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 New Year started in fine style.  Three weeks before 1983 dawned Quinny had struck a hat-trick against Crewe.  Having missed out in a trip to Colchester, (a 3-0 defeat), he added one in each of the Christmas games against Blackpool and Chester, and with a real thirst for goals. made it 8 in five games with another triple as Halifax were put to the sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We started the year almost exactly in mid-table, (13th), on 27 points, 18 adrift of leaders Bury.  There was still a chance to push for promotion.  It was the second season of &#8220;3 points for a win&#8221;, so 4th place when we were 14 points adrift of Port Vale was&#8217;t out of the question with 24 games left and Qunnny in such prime striking form.  By the end of February we&#8217;d picked up 13 point from 5 home games, but the away form was abysmal, with but a single win.  That run included the 7-0 defeat at Hull referred to in<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Away Day 24 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1980s\/boothferry-park-hull-city\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1980s\/boothferry-park-hull-city\/\">Away Day 24<\/a><\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">I&#8217;ve seen 1,757 games and this was the first of 4 occasions I had seen us concede 7.  The others were at Maine Road when we played Sheffield Wednesday and staggering 7-2 reverse at the hands of Rochdale which came only a month after the record breaking &#8220;9 wins in a row without conceding&#8221; run in early 2007.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The final one was a night of infamy at Grimsby in November 2011, shortly after Gannon&#8217;s second coming.  It occasioned the classic &#8220;social loafers&#8221; quote from him, and for those present at Blundell Park it appeared as close as can be that the players, who purportedly hadn&#8217;t taken kindly to him, had gone on strike such was the disgraceful nature of the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dde1e2;grid-template-columns:26% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"417\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Autographs-1983.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10346 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Autographs-1983.jpg 417w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Autographs-1983-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Autographs-1983-109x150.jpg 109w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Autographs of the 1983 team<\/strong> (from @FAutographs on Twitter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Paul Bowles; Tony Coyle; Dean Emerson; Mark Leigh; Brian Lloyd; Trevor Phillips; Mike Power; Mick Quinn; John Rutter; Nigel Smith; Tommy Sword; Andy Thorpe; Oshor Williams<\/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\">Back to 1983.  The away form in the early part of the year came to EP as well.  The last 15 games produced 11 points, and a final placing of 16th.  But the last game of the season at EP, against Port Vale was the most memorable.  Not for the football, (it was a 2-0 loss), but for the fact that there was huge doubt as to whether there was a future.  Problems in paying bills had come to a head with seemingly no solution.  It was a dire prospect.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Vale could secure promotion that evening, and brought a decent following but there was more than suspicion that there were a fair few ghouls who turned up. wanting to be able to say that they were there when Stockport County played their last ever game,  A crowd of 5.516 was recorded, 50% larger than the next best for the season, (against Blackpool at Christmas), and 3,207 greater than the average for the season.  I left EP that Friday evening hoping against hope that a financial knight in shining armour would appear on the horizon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#dde1e2;grid-template-columns:18% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"651\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Centenary-Brochure.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7514 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Centenary-Brochure.png 453w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Centenary-Brochure-209x300.png 209w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Centenary-Brochure-104x150.png 104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Centenary Brochure 1983<\/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\">1983 marked the centenary of the Club. We wondered whether it would mark the end. Obviously it didn&#8217;t. A Centenary brochure, (above), was published. It featured on the cover Mike Quinn; Les Bradd and Colin Parry. Three players who have featured strongly in my County journey. Quinn is my favourite all-time players; Bradd of course scored his hat-trick at Barnsley, and Colin Parry featured in the first game I saw in 1963.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#f50622\">Postscript 19th August 2020: Rereading this post it was announced last week that Colin Parry had passed away after suffering serious illness.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e4e6e7;grid-template-columns:41% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-1024x756.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8589 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-1024x756.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-150x111.jpg 150w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted-1536x1134.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1983-84-inverted.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We appeared in &#8216;Match&#8217; magazine with a picture of the 1983\/84 squad. <\/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\">Only problem with this was that the photo had been inverted!!

But once again it was the away form which was poor.  Early wins at Mansfield; Crewe: (yet another Micky Quinn hat-trick which is described in more detail in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1970s\/gresty-road-crewe-alexandra\/\">Away Day 5<\/a><\/strong>), and Chester gave us hope of a decent campaign.  The next 5 away games delivered a mere 2 points, and as we went into 1984, we stood 12th in the table.  In the middle of this poor away run came a humiliating FA Cup exit at Telford.  As with the Crewe game there&#8217;s more reflections on that debacle in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/index.php\/1980s\/the-bucks-head-new-bucks-head-telford-united-afc-telford-united\/\">Away Day 31.<\/a><a aria-label=\"Away Day 31.

Halifax were the most welcome visitors.  We started the year off by sticking them for four, and in November replicated it!  Indeed looking back at the records the last two home games I have seen against them have seen us scoring five.  Welcome visitors indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton
