Ah, memories of my formative years. I recall going to just about every reserve game between 1964 and 1970 when I moved away. I particular, I remember being at a game on a very hot day, the first day of the 1965/66 season. It was usual to hang around after the game to hear the first team result from afar. We were disappointed about a 4-1 loss to Portsmouth and there were whispers that Doug Baird, our scorer, had been 'a passenger' for most of the game having been injured after 10 minutes. This was baffling as this was the first day that clubs could name, and use, a substitute in the event of a player being injured. We did not know that Derek Ufton, in his first game as manager, had named his allowed 12 players, John Hore being the No.12 but, just before kick off, John Newman cried off with a throat infection so Hore played. We fielded a team of 11 with no sub available when Baird got injured. Keith Peacock is designated with being the first substitute used under the new rule but I like to think that Argyle has its own place in the record books as it fielded its sub from the start of the match. The following year, on the first day of the season, I was at the usual reserves match at HP and it was announced that the Argyle first team were winning away 1-0 at Bury at half time. We were waiting around for ages after the game to hear news from the announcer of the first points of the season. He started talking with some hesitation in his voice "Bury - 1......." We thought "At least one point then"...... Argyle Nil". We looked at each other quizically only then to hear an apology from the announcer. He blamed dodgy information down the phone. This thread has highlighted questionable professionalism from the man in the box over years
