Great player Happy Birthday Earnie.

Penblwydd Hapus Earnie.

Loads of happy memories of your goals, often spectacular.

Hope we can get another Earnshaw type striker and soon!

Earnie’s gonna get ya!!!!! Sang that chant with complete confidence that he would score, oh how I wish I could have that confidence nowadays.

Even a great finisher like Earnie would find his numbers vastly reduced playing for the current team.

His name was Earnie.. and he used to play up front with Fortune-West
