It certainly speaks volumes for our past shiteness when so many different games get a mention :laugh:

Not many clubs would have have suffered as many absolute paggerings as Pools rolf

My mates Dad Graeme Richardson was in goal for Pools the day we lost 8-0 at the Vetch, he said they were a very good side that season. Still we lost 8-0 and Graeme was named man of the match for Pools :shock:

I dont know what game in what but one image I have of the bad days was when Peter Billing got sent off at the rink end and sat behind the goal to watch the resultant penalty being scored and then trudged off with his head down.

I've been trying to track down a really bad performance that I thought I remembered, via ITMC.
I thought it was a 4-0 home defeat by Workington the season they were relegated.
But on checking the nearest I can find is a 2-0 home defeat by them, when they finished bottom in 75/76. They were relegated the next season, when they finished bottom again.

what you are probably thinking of is a 4-0 defeat when we had workingtons goalkeeper gordon livesy making his debut on loan mr billingham.

livesy was man of the match pulling off a string of fine saves including one from the penalty spot.

we were absolutely abject and could have conceeded double figures.

cant recall who the opposition were but it could have been swansea who beat us 4-0 and 8-0 in the same season.

it was as bad as the doncaster 6-0 game.

Looks like you are right about it being Swansea Chip. He played 6 times and the results were

York (a) 0-1
Darlington (h) 2-1
Swansea (h) 0-4
Watford (a) 0-1
Huddersfield (h)3-2
Aldershot (a) 0-3

About three weeks before that Plymouth 1-8 game, we played at Rotherham and lost 7-0 as well. I walked into the pub as the results came up (in the days of afternoon lock-ins) and faced a barrage of abuse.

Goalden Gordon from Ripping Yarns was popular watching at the time and I was taking '7-0 against Rotherham?? A team of pensioners!!' for the rest of the evening. I was not amused.
