R.I.P Mickey Bullock

Post by Bandy Legs »

I know it's been posted on BD& M thread, but he really does deserve his own page of tributes.

Never the most skilful or quickest over the pitch but always gave his best

Agree with above. His main asset was he held the line well.And he scored a few goals. Good worker too, remember him well. Thanks for the memories Mickey. RIP.

One of the best headers of a ball I have ever seen. Remember a game at Notts County (won 4-2) when he got on the end of a Ray Goddard high clearance in the centre circle, got his intended header all wrong and it ended back in Goddard hands 40 yards away without bouncing, best one two ever.

But he was a fantastic target man and for a not very tall forward he rarely got beaten in the air.

RIP Micky thanks for the memories.

If Cumbes hadn't got his finger tips to Mickeys last minute effort. We'd be talking about his goal that took us to the top flight again. RIP Mickey

Yes - a sad day and probably one of the foundation blocks of the team I first came to support back in February 1973.

Remember him well, one of the players in the first O’s team I was old enough to remember, a decent centre forward, scored 65 goals for us too.
R.I.P Mickey, thanks for the memories.

A very early hero for me. When he jumped up for a header he seemed to stay up in the air for longer than other players.

Yes exactly, it was a brilliant save by Cumbes. I was right behind the path of that header and he had no right to make that save, it was virtually clawed out of the top corner.

We have lost too many of our legends this year and Mickey was up there with the best.
