I cannot understand the mentality of people who applaud ex players before or during a game? It’s completely bizarre! I could almost understand it (but not agree with it) if it was a Marquis, Sharp or Stock for example. You know, players who actually performed well for us. But Alfie May? A nice guy, a trier for sure but pretty mediocre as a player.
Some sad t**ts even clapped when it was announced that he had scored their first goal!What the hell is that all about?

I scored one goal in five years when playing in the Donny Senior League and I could have put away 10 of his he had unbelievable service.

Goole old friend, you Mickey Thomas, and Barry Duffield kicked players for just standing near you whether they were nice people or not, and then Hadge Jackson would have lined you up for a good old fashioned hard tackle. In fact I think we would have got a dig standing in a bus que. Good times though.
