Final programme notes from Sean Dyche and Laurence Bassini




GT’s last home game in charge.
The game where Steve Palmer wore the number one jersey and started in goal. He swapped with Alec Chamberlain (who was no.4) after the first few seconds. In the final fixture away at Fulham Palmer wore the number nine shirt meaning he became the first and only player in Football League history to have worn every number from 1-14 during a season.
