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

  Dickos, I hope you are right, and Beth makes the final on Saturday. He must be very proud of her achievements.

Good luck. Ex Rover Grant Morrow's daughter is a top weightlifter, competed for team GB at the Junior World Championships, and for England at the Commonwealth games (finished 4th)

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:

I’ve read some of his older posts, I’m pretty certain it’s not him

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...

He does seem to post quite a lot whenever Barnsley are mentioned on here.

Haha Well she obviously has stronger knees than Grants,ive never seen a knee swell up after every game like his did.Used to have a pint with him after the match when he was at Gainsborough,how he carried on playing was beyond me...

I don't know who you are but do you really or is that just a throwaway comment, there is an obvious reason if you do

Sorry raven/dickos. I got the wrong end of the stick there and was chipping in some low-brow humour so apologies if I've caused any offence.
