In late 60's,not promotion season,we had a wonderful "settled" team for umpteen games in a row. Oldfield/ Parkin Cattlin/Nicholson Coddington Meagan/ Hellawell Clark Leighton Dobson Hill. That was a Great Team from 1 to 11. If I'm not mistaken John Coddington's grandson was on HTFC books a few years ago,as a goal-keeper.

Legend George Binns

Very happy memories of the old Leeds Road. Remember the Barnsley game 29,000 and many other games some drizzly winter games, some joyous celebrations all in all a fundamental part of my growing up now 59 years old.

My grandparent's home was on Town Terrace and the back garden looked onto river and Kilner Bank. My Grandmother was a regular in the Cow Shed and told fond stories of a young Denis Law training on the cinder car park opposite. My parents left with 4 children to Australia.... as a keen footballer I dreamt of returning and playing at Leeds Road.... I eventually returned as a fan for a few games in 1983 in 1988....... A teaching exchange in 1998 allowed me to witness the new stadium for two half seasons and was blown away by the new stadium. Well done George, a fantastic job and a shrewd operator.... should be a statue ( I have been back to catch up with games 6 more times..... a long bloody flight mind!!)

Great to see George looking so well. Well done George and the team.

Are you watching Kev? This is the calibre of back room staff we expect! Common sense, loyalty and COMPETENCE. Binns doesn’t need to tell us how good he is and was. It’s bleedin’ obvious. All we need do is listen to him describe what he has achieved and how. The comparison with you ‘ask Jake’ and ‘leadership team’ is also bleeding obvious. This is what Town fans deserve. It’s also what we expect. Forget global this, that and the other. Get competent people who love the club.

Absolute treat and a privilege to watch this. Thank you Town. Absolute gold mine of trivia and memories.

Happy days!

Fantastic interview and great to hear boothy doing the interview.

More of this please, fantastic to listen to such a town legend as George. Brooky next ?

Great insight into the origins of the stadium. Also the organisation and enterprise shown by George and his fellow colleagues in having the vision and the tenacity to get the funds in place to get the project off the ground. It needs some TLC but I'm proud to call it home as a Town fan.

The old ground so many memories I met George a few times -glad to see he’s still knocking about - lovely fella. I was at the Bryan Adams gig, the place was rocking sounded so good with the help of new stadium (summat to do with acoustics & shape of roof.

Very interesting banter. Many happy memories from Leeds Road days,far more than the new Leeds Road. I still have dozens of photos from Blackpool game and the Reserves game Vs Middlesbrough(played on Friday 13th May,we won 6-3 and last goal EVER was scored by Paul Crowther from Golcar). GREAT DAYS NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.

Richard Faulkner in the end, ended up playing lead guitar for Judas Priest. He’s known as Richie now.

My dad used to go see the games there when he was a teen

Great interview, but would it have killed Boothy to have 3 cameras on and an intern edit it afterwards to make it as visually dynamic as it was audibly stimulating! Keep this kind of media coming but let's polish it up! ❤

Terrific memories of the Leeds rd ground. Started watching as a young lad in the Johnson/Greaves era, I was sluffed when the old ground was gone.

Just one mistake at the beginning when we played Sheffield United it was 2-2 tempest and Robinson scored for town crowd was 4,416 Sheffield United finished in 18th so no promotion and Carnt remember national TV cameras were there but we're there for the Portsmouth game

It seems to be more good fortune than anything else with the construction of the new stadium

Thought he was dead

30 years later the stadium and the ownership model is a joke. A failed project.

My dad and his mates always stood in the old cowshed
