Steve Hopcroft appeared 6 times for us in 1995/96, would he be the same person who's now leaving The Hawthorns for Old Trafford?

Re: Steve Hopcroft
Definitely the same bloke from the pictures online -
Did he really only play 6 games? I remember him well as a somewhat unreconstructed centre-half in that team. He even had his own song.

Re: Steve Hopcroft
I thought he featured more, although it was when Woody and Rodwell were the rocks at the back.
Didn't he come off the bench to score against Merthyr Tydfil in a 2-1 or someone like that!

96/97 3 more starts - 1st 2 matches of that season Crawley (a) & Burton (h) and his final appearance Kings Lynn (a)

Was that Chelmsford match the night of the rain & the Nags Head HH or LLL, or was it after that? Splendid memories or being washed away anyway

Re: Steve Hopcroft
We lost 3-0 that night (different season to the 95-96 one, probably the year after), and Kev Hathaway drove us down there and his windscreen wipers broke on the way home whilst it lashed it down. Happy days with captain marvelsprout wrote:Was that Chelmsford match the night of the rain & the Nags Head HH or LLL, or was it after that? Splendid memories or being washed away anyway

Re: Steve Hopcroft
It was either that Chelmsford game or one around that time that spawned a novel song. I recall many of us were already in the ground post drinkies, when Charlie shambles in on the other side. With a new supermarket carrier bag!!! The resounding "Charlies got a new bag" will always be one of my favourites.
