Chris Turner RIP

by ThorneyPosh - Flying the Flag for Peterborough United on 606 (U5386)

What a legend!

Thanks for the memory of that Wembley play-off final in the early 1990s, and for everything you did for the club and the city.

Posh fans and, I guess as those of Cambridge United, Luton, Swindon and Southend, will always remember you.

Looking forward to the possibility of a memorial match between the two Cambridgeshire clubs, and to the statue planned for outside the London Road End.

Thanks for your contributions, guys. Yes, those dreadful brown, laced, leather footballs!

Chris wasn't old enough to have played with the old fashioned lace up balls surely, they were about in the fifties!
By the time he was a professional he would have been playing with a coated ball, albeit a tad heavier than balls now.

I'm several years younger than Chris, and I can remember heading one of the old fashioned balls when it was wet - ouch! A pain akin to eating much too cold ice cream.

If he did then, it was when he was very young, just as Tommy Robson said on TV, elbows, clash of heads and the shear amount of times he headed a ball,

Very sad news.

One of my abiding football memories Wembley 92, and the wins over Liverpool, Newcastle and Wimbledon in the League Cup too.

The first live football games that really stick in memory even though I had already been going for a couple of years before then.
