Longlostfan Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 28 minutes ago, whittles left foot said: Didn't he start off as a right back but then came good when moved to centre half? You may be right. My hazy recollection is of a scrawny ginger not really up to it- was he trying to fill in for John Hurst. As a youngster I couldn't understand why our supporters gave him grief rather than encouragement- sound familiar? Then suddenly he came good. Bolton had been a bit of a bogie team. I think we beat them 4-2 in a night league cup match to my suprise and I recall him getting to the bye line to put a great delivery in. One of those games where he didn't seem to put a foot wrong. I remember telling my dad who couldn't make it how well he had done. A one club player? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will be then - cut the fake humility/bollocks, it’s gone on long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting over who owns what, banning orders left right and centre, protests (all sounds a bit familiar) and leaked text messages from the owner with derogatory comments on the fans and basically saying he'll take the club under! Didn't he call the fans a bunch of spastics in a private message which was screenshotted and leaked? To be honest, it did make me chuckle. I bet that gets said a lot by chairmen privately at clubs all around the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wide player called "Bez" as well - don't know who he could be. Could be Lubala ex Blackpool, Crawley. Just noticed Lubala ended up at Burton with Dino, scored 2 yesterday.
