Not to forget it was Dan McCauley who secured the grant funding and organised the redevelopment of Home Park (and the beginning of the construction of the horseshoe).
It was also McCauley who appointed Paul Sturrock.

No - you were right - Adams was a battler but couldnt pass to save his life. Once Lee Hodges took his place in centre midfield we improved greatly.
It reminds me of the Monty Python tune, with the big foot stamping down at the end.
He was great in the promotion year but seem to go to pieces later - loss of confidence I imagineI always thought John Delve was going to score a screamer into the top corner when he shaped to shoot from 30 yards. Yes, every time.
That's one for those with longer memories
Never liked Shilton or his 'nearly men' team, vastly overrated on here imo. It also led us to be constantly called 'Peter Shilton's Plymouth Argyle'. Castle, McCall and Patterson were good, but the rest? Pah! (yes, including Dalton)
Jake Jervis. Not the least talented of Argyle players, but boy did he wind me up with his disappearance from games.
I see Semper has been mentioned. Whilst I don't like it much as a tune or, especially, it's association with the States, I can understand it's importance to so many of us.
I have never understood why we are called The Pilgrims, when we have so many more important (and local) people and/or events we could have chosen.
We should wear white at home (have I ever mentioned that?).

being of a certain age, when Exeter were always at least one division below us, Torquay Utd were our real rivals
He wasnt great but I longed for him to succeed. In a brief period before he left us he started running at defenders and handing them off rugby style - never led to a goal though!I agree with Pogles - Jimmy Hinch was my hero. I even signed his name as an alias when I had to get into some dive in Union Street with my mates on a Saturday night out in the 70s...
True, but he's a miserable git who should never be forgiven for deliberately getting Friio sent off when playing for Oldham.
very weird
- he had his moments but was too lightweight unfortunately
its always been a very cringey song but todays youngsters wouldnt know a good song if they heard one
Although I was a season ticket holder at the time. I never did warm to Paul Sturrock. Yes I enjoyed the promotion and getting almost to the second promotion (he left so didn't get the 2nd). But I wasn't keen on his style of play(yes I know it was a winning style).
Now here’s a co-incidence GP. When the foot stamps down it’s accompanied by a loud raspberry. That raspberry was blown by my Uncle Les, a technician working on the set.
There should be separate turnstiles for season ticket holders. Ideally more than double in number than those for non-season ticket holders.
Kemp was more gifted but lazy - ironically when he became a manager, it was all about organisation and effort
