I grew up living next door to Jim and my mum is still friends with his wife
Just thought it would be of interest to people to know his daughter beth is competing at the Athletic European championships in Berlin.
She will be in action at 18.45 Tomorrow and 19.45 on Saturday both on BBC1 I believe

Just to redeem himself, it would be a great idea to do a Q AND A about his time when he served us as a player...  a few stories of his time etc.  :scarf:

Anyone else post on the Pistonheads forum? Whenever something like this comes up there's a custard test. Poster has to put on a photo of themselves holding custard in the appropriate situation.

So, if you're really Jim Dobbin let's have a selfie holding a tin of Ambrosia...
