A special Argyle moment (Eric Doughty)

[George Willis]

Exactly right. His final game was on 02 April 1956 at home to Bristol Rovers.His poor performance at Ashton Gate on Boxing Day led to him playing just two more games of the 1955/56 season. The Rovers one and two days earlier against a West Ham side with Malcolm Allison at centre half.

The rumour at the time was that Bill Shortt had Christmas spirit in his system at the 27 Dec game at Ashton Gate where they lost 6-0, after beating Bristol City 5-0 home on Boxing Day.

What was it Francis Urquhart used to say in that brilliant House of Cards series? Something like "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment"😄
