Ralph Coates

Used to go out with my Mam at junior school, another one that slipped through the net

Start courting a bit young up your way like ?

 

[Metro Man]

Bobby Charlton lite, but still a good footballer.

There was also Peter Noble at Newcastle, a Sunderland lad, probably Ralph Coates lite tbh.

Ahem...

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Ahem...

I know, I didn't want to mention that bit. Famous for being one of many balding Burnley players of the time though

Mackem, could have been SAFC legend

Annfield plain ??l

“I was Sunderland crazy as a kid. They were the only team for me”.

Ralph Coates, Burnley, Tottenham Hotspur and England forward.

 

[Geronimo]

He's been f***ing shite this season.

Like it.

Corrected

He had a comb-over better than Bobby Charlton's

They had a great scout in the area at that time and got lots of local talent. Their team was made up of North East lads like Jimmy Adamson and Ray Pointer. Good job we managed to get him when Alan Brown was here otherwise players like Suddick and Todd would probably also have ended up at Burnley

Suggett. Colin Suggett.

I think you'll find that Alan Suddick played for that lot up the road.

Yeah I know and I'm embarrassed as hell

 

[redgauntlet]

He roasted us a few times with Burnley and Tottenham.

But his son played for us

That's a new one to me. When was that?

Think he was called Jarred or something was on the books quite a while

Clearly missed that one. In my defence I haven't lived locally since 1977, and it's hard to keep track of everything.

Youths and reserves, never in the first team

That would explain it, particularly if it pre-dated this interweb thingy.

Aye, one of the statos on here will probably know

Great player.......North East Football legend....and Blackpool Legend anarl.

 

[Zaragoza]

If Ralph Coates had played for us........

With his magnificent comb-over he could have high-fived everyone in the paddocks when he scored.

How did your mam wear the net? And why are you destroying her reputation on a footy forum?
