Guest Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 In this weeks Sunday Independent, there is a picture of Newquay from 1985/86 in the team of yesterday bit. There are a few familiar faces including the Nicholls brothers and Dave Ball but who is the goalkeeper? I have one name in mind but I don't know if it's right. It was a lot better when they listed the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Davies Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Have not seen the picture but it could have been Kev Smallcombe or John Axon. They both played for Newquay around that time, hope that helps Willow Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks Billy, both names ring bells. I did wonder if it was Brian Mitchell in the twilight days of a career but working it out he'd have been about 40 so probably not him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Davies Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 When you visit Lostwithiel again Willow come and say hello. It would be good to pit a face to the name, I know you visited us last year for a double header I ould have spoken had I known. Cheers, Bill.

cornishteddyboy Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 She still got you under her thumb on grounds to visit then Willow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Davies Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I sure she will enjoy her visit and there are generally plenty of goals mostly at my end. The grub and hospitality back at the Kings Head is first class also. See you soon Willow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I always thought Billy davies signed for Falmouth Town but cant find any appearance record in the archives. What is the story Billy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I did read that when I was doing SWL research. Signed as cover by Ray Nicholls but Philpy proved impossible to budge as he never missed a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Davies Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I went there when Dave Wadd was in charge, I think I was 18 and played in some pre- season friendlies including Argyle. John Dent was already there and St Blazey came in for me before the season started and offered me the starting spot unchallenged so I went. I was living in St Austell at the time so it seemed to make sense. Falmouth won the league and we finished second and I ended up playing for Lostwithiel. End of.. PS we won today, happy times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
