Title: Where is John Trollope?
Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, December 16, 2005, 11:39:23
My dad sent me this, and it appears that the great man's 368 games has vanished from the list?  Does anyone (Reg) know owt about this Tranmere guy at the top of the list, I always thought that JT was the top man in this field.

John T's 6 or 700 odd appearances weren't consecutive though were they?

He made 368 in a row, which i thought was the record (although that bloke Bell looks to have it), and then he broke his arm which ended the run, it may have been against Hartlepool that it happened by that is inconsequential (but ironic) to the story.  His 770 total games is a record at a single club though.

Living next door to me :) Legend. I spoke to him a couple of months ago while he was cutting my garden hedge, he said I should have replaced Kingy :) Maybe not...
He used to shout at us for kicking our football into his garden, while he was looking after the youths!
