Everyone who knows/knew about Spavin are all agreed he was a slow player, (he even admits that himself) yet he went past you Ando as if you didn't exist, which leads me to the question of how slow were you?He wasnt flash, but he was effective....... although your Dad is right - he split opinion.
He scored two of our three goals when we beat Rotherham in May 1971 to clinch the Division 3 title..... I was there on that wonderful night
i remember many years after he retired, i was playing for BAE against Preston supporters club at Willow Farm - he was 40 and i was 20
he picked up the ball on the half way line went past me like i didnt exist and hit one into the top corner from 30 years out !!!
Was it: a) just slow, b) very slow or c) statue like slow?
