Southend fan here. I have lots of respect for Hess. Great footballing, man.

[@no_soy_rubio]

As a Gills fan, these years were the best of times. Year on year improvement, then ITV Digital came along...

[@yorkshireman2614]

Great program old football docs like this are getting me through this Covid 19 lockdown...

[@LemmyBarnett]

I'm here before Quickly Kevin.

[@grffneil]

I was too. Glad the gamble paid off for us both as!

[@whoneedsposers]

How can you be here before Quickly Kevin and be aware of them covering this?

[@LemmyBarnett]

God, as a Preston fan, playing Gillingham back these times was awful 😖. From the Play Offs in 98/99 to the opening fixture 5-0 defeat in 2001. I remember leaving the ground once after we’d been stuffed 4-0 in 2000 and a bloke shouts, “never mind lads, only another 5 hours up the motorway” 😫😭

[@montygemma]

I went to Bournemouth at the time (92- 94) and Pulis was sacked mainly because the fans turned on him because of the long ball game he brought there. Shame though because he did some good work with what he had.

[@newforestpixie5297]

Nowadays more than half the fans I know are on the clubs’ back for not having a giant stadium whilst I miss being overjoyed when they managed a draw against Bristol City Swindon Town , Pompey or Reading. I’m not certain but Tony Pulis must’ve signed Steve Fletcher in which case the fans have to be greatful for his being there ! 🙄👍

Hessenthalers’ missus was quite cute 😮

[@mrkipling2201]

They beat Watford at vicarage road yet Watford would be in the premier league 2 seasons after this. Shows how strange football can be!!

1:02:36 the story behind Nicky Southall's 'Trigger' nickname. Nothing to do with his cannon right foot. Everything to do with the Only Fools & Horses character! It was about supergluing his wheel trims.

[@mrkipling2201]

Should have done this program the following season when they went to Wembley in the play off final

[@carlesq.]

hello mr kipling,this just came up in my suggestions so bet myself an early start to my drinking session that you would be in the comments 🤣nice one cheers 🍻

[@newforestpixie5297]

An angry old guy from Gillingham in North Dorset once put me straight on how his town wasn’t pronounced with a J as the football team from Kent but as you’d say Gull with a G. I didn’t repeat my mistake I can tell you.

6:00 "Ade Akinbiyi's not going to Juventus."

Yeah, he don't like Italian food

[@Scott1433]

Why was the Walsall match an emotional game? I didn't really understand that

[@CARLIN4737]

Corbett went on to play for Southend United.

[@graemeyetts3465]

Via Blackburn. Looked promising initially.

[@steved6332]

i think i remember this being on tv??

And look at the difference between Brighton and gillingham now!!

Great Documentary on Gillingham I just edited a lot of Paul Scally out because it had nothing do with Gillingham and is very boring. Here all the full Episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2SmmGlud6t_sNk.

How many messages is Pullis giving to the team. Not one would’ve gone in. Crap coaching. I assume he got better.

Gillingham - some supporters say best manager in the club's history. Stoke City.

[@NachoInsano]

Got Stoke up to the Prem and solidified them, did well at Palace. His style of play has never been pretty but it’s been effect

@@NachoInsano OK, cheers for the education, sometimes we only count success by trophies. 👍
