Another nervous and exciting end to another turbulent season at the Mem tomorrow.....
Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is. –Vince Lombardi
Cometh the hour, cometh the man
This phrase was uttered by the English bowler, Cliff Gladwin on the 20th December 1948 in Durban, South Africa, when, with 2 wickets standing and 12 runs required off the last three remaining overs, he came into bat. He scored the winning run from a leg-bye with the last ball of the match after the ball had struck him on the thigh.Afterwards, in the dressing room, he proudly showed all comers the bruise from which cricket's most famous leg-bye was scored. "I told you, 'cometh the hour, cometh the man'," he chaffed Dudley Nourse the South African captain, afterwards. This was reported in the Durban papers and can also be found on page 104 of Arthur Goldman's book, Try and Stump me! published in 1956.
In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away-gasheads
who will be the hero at the Mem tomorrow ? Ellis, Matt, Lee B or Lee M Who will be the hero at the Hive tomorrow ? Gateshead goalkeeper ? |

We'll win 2-0 or 3-0, all eyes will be on events elsewhere.
Barnet will lead 1-0 through Akinde, who else, until Ben Clark heads in from a corner in stoppage time.
Curtis Weston will be brought down in the box in the final throes. The referee will not give a penalty.
Then the Ferrero Rocher Cup is ours!

I have it on good authority that Gatesheads Alex Rodman will score our promotion winning goal! Come on The Heed! |
