Post by: roversdude on August 25, 2025, 12:00:06 pm
Clearing my loft out and came across a Jason Blunt match worn shirt. TBH can’t remember much about him. Did he only play a few times.

Yes,we got rid him because he was costing us too much,he kept losing his shirts!

Seriously,yes he only played about a dozen times for us,I remember having hopes for him,but didnt last long with us for some reason I cannot remember why,he's been a bit of a journeyman and the most he ever managed was 80 appearances for Scarborough before us,he was Manager of Doncaster Cough* City last season,looks like he has just gone to Wakefield AFC according to Wiki,if not been edited by a prankster.

There is basically no difference between who goes first or second. A tiny statistical differential that is not sufficient to establish a rule. It is just pot luck.

My nephew got Dave Morley s top that day. Asked for his autograph in the car park after the game and he said I can do better than that and passed him the top.

I loved watching him.....

Always elegant. Always calm. And always a chance he'd drop a big one.... Come back Dave. Anyone any idea what he's  doing nowadays?
