Torquay Winning 2-0 against Cambridge, with 5 mins to go at Wembley. Cambridge will win the BSP next season. 2 former Scummers Tim Sills and Chris Hargreaves scoring for Torquay.

Fair play to them, always a nice away day there.

Well done Gulls.

very pleased.great little club

Always worth a visit ... I love going to Torquay..

torquay was a great day out for sturrocks first league game.

hopefully an FA cup game down there next season. that will be a great day out

Fucking loved Torquay away last time. Was it an inflatable shark, or dolphin? The away terracing was real old school and the noise we generated was brilliant. I also seem to remember Phil Smith having a good game and celebrating with us at the end.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside......................

Well done Torquay  :clap:

Proper football club, proper fans, good day out - welcome back Torquay. Made me laugh when we last played them and they sang "Dirty Northern Bastards" to us - quality.

Made me laugh when they were chanting "YOUR NOT SINGING ANYMORE" and then you just hear a roar and we score!

Here is the video

helen off soccer am is looking more shagable lately too

Early Paul Sturrock match, terrible game won by a terrible referee decision :) But Phil Smith embracing the the Town faithful was goooood.

Jamie Ward caused us some problems that day. Missed a one-on-one against Smith who quite calmly snatched the ball from his feet.

Cambridge won't compete next year well, it's hard to predict at this stage because Non-League transfer season is crazy. Oxford are currently forming quite a squad - Midson and Constable next season should be productive.

was a dolphin, a load of us stayed over and went out in torquay at night, the dolphin in question also some how ended up with us in that club and also bumped into loads of people from swindon. awesome night.

 First match for Sturrock...I remember one a couple of seasons previous, which ended up 2-2.  Think SSP got both of ours, one a real scuffed effort, Jamie Slabber gave a performance of rare striking incompetence  :)

 My first trip to Plainmoor was Easter Monday 67...for some reason it kicked off at 11:00 in the morning...which meant the Rimes coach departed at something like 5:30 in the morning, to wend the way to Devon on the pre M4 roads. We got beat 1-0  :cry:

I went to that - Alex Russell, Akinfenwa, Constintine and Kuffour gave us a reasonably torrid time. After the game I got threatened by a group of Torquay 'supporting' Mancs (alot of North Westerners down there).

That video is a classic.

There was time I would watch that video simply to cheer myself up when I was feeling a bit down. But I'd forgotten all about it until now. Great stuff :)

Same here, Si. Brilliant stuff. Was it Jutkievicz who scored? I have a very clear memory of him scoring from just outside the area in front of the town end, not sure if it was that match though...

I've watched that video far too many times. Comedy gold.

Great club, glad they're back.  Plainmoor is one of my favourite grounds.

Have had a soft spot since I read Garry Nelson's second book ten years ago.

Who was in goal for us and let the penalty in?

FWIW, www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk can confirm that it was Jutkievicz who scored the goal I was thinking of vs Torquay :)

Phil Smith according to your link ibelieveinmrreeves.

Will never forget the League Cup game down there in 92, a 6-0 win at Plainmoor and a great great day out, Maskell, Mitchell 2, Ling, Taylor & White scoring for fun and us being clapped by the Torquay fans off the pitch.

I wish they'd lost. My flatmate is die-hard Torquay and he's being a fucking pain.

How much did you lose DMR?

Enough.

I was in London on Sunday.....saw plenty of Torquay fans on the motorway. Glad they won.
