does anyone remember barry bridges

[qprted]

does anybody remember barry,he was so fast one of his special tricks was from corners he would accelerate to the near post and keep back heading goals he got about five of those in one season

Sure do Ted, Marsh, Frank Clark and him were a great forward line in the late sixties.

[HammersmithR]

One of my dad's favourite players.

[knocker]

remember him scoring against us for Birmingham in semi final when we won the cup in 67.

[Busheyboy]

think he wore no 7, scored lots of goals late sixties / very early seventies
thnk he played when we lost 4-2 to the scum in the 1970 FA Cup

[pblockranger]

We've got Barry Barry Barry Barry bridges on the wing in our team

[TRING-RANGER]

yep i remember him " barry bridges on the wing" as the loft used to sing

great player , think he played 70 odd games for us with 30 goals

[scuberry]

Busheyboy are you a Leeds supporter ?? as the 70 cup final was between chelsea and leeds and the scum won 2-1 to my knowledge we have only been in one fa cup final,
and ted he scored all those goals off his head because he had the ole comb over,ball kept skidding off the brylcream :o)

[scuberry]

Busheyboy,i apologize,didnt read ur thread properly,thought you meant the final

I remember watching Bridges when I was at Rs in my teenage school days the 60s & early 70s flying winger

i think the reason i

I think the reason I loved barry so much was that back in the day people always said we had great keepers and wingers ie mark lazarus and clive clark

but bridges cut a strange sight with his bandy legs and this amazing burst of speed,looking back on the 68-69 seasons i think bridges could have got twenty goals instead of his 8

but we were a team who created very little,rodney had a nightmare season only scoring 4 goals having come back from a broken ankle

our central defence was absolutely useless,our midfield non existant

in any other top flight side bridges would have scored twenty goals,I used to like to watch that qpr v west ham match when barry scored against them at upton park,we lost the match 4-3,but i liked the bridges goal
