Nicky Law(Snr) scoring at Maine Rd.
Footballers salaries were comparatively lower than they are today.Especially in the bottom two tiers of the FL/EFLHow ever did we cope on crowds like that??
Yes Carter was an ok player but if I remember correctly he got those 2 goals on debut and didn’t score the rest of the season for us! Also Scarborough’s first game in league football . Played Wolves who took 1000’s and one of their fans fell badly through a stand roof while stood on top of it !!Opening day of the 1987/88 season.15th August.
A good start with a rare home win against Cambridge Utd.The first at SJP against them in 15 years.
Roy Carter scoring a couple of goals on his debut.Carter had a good career at Hereford,Swindon & Newport previously.
He started at Falmouth Town & played in that team with Tony Kellow until he transferred to Hereford in 1975.Helping them gain promotion to the 2nd Division in 75/76.
