I used to admire them when Dave Leonard was connected with the club. How the mighty have fallen or as they say "Your not famous anymore" Fallen? Last season they equalled their second highest position in their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvon Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sorry Richard I did not explain myself very well, when I was younger and Truro City were playing in the SWL Tiverton in my mind were always the top non league club in the South West imo winning the FA Vase twice and runners up once, Western League winners several times and good runs in the FA Cup and Trophy. Perhaps I should have said moved sideways rather than fallen and surely a team that should have gone on to bigger and better things. I see they have some good signings this season including River Allen Ollie Knowles Tom Gardner Martin Rice and of course 100% Cornish's favourite Levi Landricombe.

Ian Pethick Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Certainly loads of goals in the Tavi team, will be interesting to see how they fit Hobbs into the line up and formation. Lambs must be early favourites for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvon Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Don't forget the sleeping giants of Cornish football who many were tipping at the end of last season. I will reserve my judgement until after tomorrow's game when I will give my honest opinion. Will be catching public transport down for this one as recommended, a chance to try out my bus pass.

RAPPO Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 That name still scares me now!! He was a proper beast to play against! Let’s say a no prisoners type of guy! Played on the same team as Nig a couple of times for Cornwall though and he was really quiet and almost shy off the pitch!! Really nice chap! ?⚽️ Funny what crossing that white line does to some people ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I remember a Senior Cup Final back in the Eighties (exact year fails me) between Liskeard and Saltash at Mount Wise. Nigel Menhenick and Terry Pooley flattened Steve Nute when he went to claim the ball from a corner, Steve got up bloodied, bruised, but holding the ball. Got a bit feisty in the corridor between the changing rooms at half time, and also a few "earnest opinions and gestures" in the crowd. Happy days.

RAPPO Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Watched that game!! Probably the best Senior Cup Final I’ve ever seen! Reckon by today’s standards there would have been about 5 players left on the pitch at the end!! Think the Saltash chairman and a Liskeard player had a scrap in the toilet at half time as well as the teams were coming out for the 2nd half!! ??

RAPPO Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yeah agree Mark, never saw anyone get the better of Sweeter physically in a game ever mate!! Hard as nails and what a player too. Could play any position on the pitch. Bit biased as he’s one of my best mates but absolute quality. Remember him breaking his ankle first half up Appledore, he played the full 90 minutes, we went back my mums for tea then went to a rave in some field near Truro in the evening and he woke up next morning and his ankle was like the elephant mans!! Finally managed to talk him into an x-ray by Sunday afternoon and he was in plaster for 6 weeks!!! He don’t know pain!! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Howard (Ashes then chairman) what a guy he was (not sure if he is still with us). After losing to Liskeard in a Senior Cup semi-final in nineties at Priory Park (again, can't remember year), he went on to pitch at the end and offered all the Blues players to see him behind the stand.

Mike Howard, yes Mr Saltash Utd for many, many years. He absolutely loved it and gave anything and everything for the club.
