URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE.

chunkygull · Post by **chunkygull** » 08 Oct 2015, 15:47

Sorry if the title is a little bit dramatic but I desparately need some assistance if possible from fellow TUFC fans.

I have mentioned on the nostalgic Sherpa Van Trophy 89 thread about creating a TUFC history collage on a canvas frame as a Christmas present for my Dad, he has been going to Plainmoor and following The Gulls 60 years this year.

I am getting to a point with my christmas present project where I am a bit stuck and have to ask on the forum if anyone has any pictures or newspaper clippings they wouldnt mind posting or uploading, anything will do, whatever people feel is relevant. A lot of recent stuff is online.

Dad has all of our programmes etc stashed away and its tough getting some of them as I dont want to alert him to what I am doing, I have got hold of some from 80's and 90's and SCOURED THROUGH THEM FOR HOURS, I found some really memorable pics, Crewe 87, Spurs, Lee Sharpe, Caldwells spectacular goals, play offs, wembleys etc. I think the bugger has thrown a load of newspaper clippings out that I got from that time, the only one I could find is Hirons celebrating vs West Ham, so anything like that would be fantastic.

I have 4 books which I have scanned some pics from and have quite a few from online, I am putting together a collage of TUFC historical moments, players and teams then having it printed onto a huge box canvas frame. I have done a few of these before with family members/family history etc and dad is a bit of an old film buff so I did one of golden age hollywood stars and British actors etc from 30's to 70's. It takes hours and hours of sourcing, web searches, scanning, editing etc, but the results are quite stunning. The canvas itself is dirt cheap with a brilliant person on ebay. I will post a pic of it when finished.

Even if nobody has any pics, please could you give me some suggestions or ideas of teams/squads, significant moments or players which would be good for inclusion.

Its amazing how therapeutic all this tripping down memory lane is, it makes you really realise and remember why you love your club.

Please, please, help me.

Many thanks.

Here is a picture of the hollywood canvas to give an idea of what I am looking to do. Imagine a TUFC collage like it.

My favourite torquay photo from our recent history:

What about the photo of buckle wearing his hat inside out?

Good times

I might use that Branston pic as that captures a moment really well, it is perfectly timed and a bit amusing.

I have the Sills one, but that is spot on exactly the sort of thing I am looking for, even if nobody has some pics they can put up I am looking for ideas for great players, squads/teams or significant/historic/great/funny moments.

Please help me guys, I only have about 50 pics and I need at least double that.

Right guys, just a shameless little thread bump whilst the forum is busy.

Been scanning some old newspaper clippings and programmes, thought I might give you an idea of the sort of players or moments I am looking for, you may find these pics jog some memories.

Again, please help me if you can.

Remember this fella and this moment?

Best advice would be to contact Dave Thomas at the Herald.

Hello again everyone, sorry to disturb you, I know you are all totally pissed off on what is a very sad day in our history, but I am giving a shameless bump again for just that reason, history. Still on the lookout for pictures of memorable/great/significant players from our club. I have over a hundred pics, but the choices and quality isnt always great, a lot I am having to tweak and its extremely time consuming.

If anyone wouldnt mind uploading some pictures they think would be great to use I would be eternally grateful.

Here are a couple of some players we could sorely do with now.

Sorry to do this again guys on another night when we are all more than a bit deflated. Shameless thread bump whilst the forum is a bit busy.

As in previous posts I am looking for a few significant pictures of players or moments from TUFC history which are worthy of inclusion on a collage.

Its been quite theraputic for me really looking at pictures of good former players and some actual real "legends", it makes you realise why you still support TUFC, where we have been and hopefully something like those times even though not massive in the grand scheme of all things football but massive to us, could one day happen again.

Its the mixture of affection for history and hope for those sort of times again in the future that keeps us going, take a look at the sort of pictures of players and moments I'm after.

Anyone got any ideas or could kindly post some pics I could use I would really appreciate it. Cheers everyone.
