Gerry isn't in the best of health as a rsult of a stroke some years ago, Jimmy is himself thankfully in rude health but was in Liverpool working on the Villa game.
I believe the event was advertised both on line and in the club programme but sold out fairly quickly.
Welled up at the final whistle, thinking about not only what we’d achieved but some of the people who in a very small way helped it happen, Roy Chuter, Paul Whelch, Sarah Watts, Ed Bassford and Mary Emery amongst others.
I’ve also this weekend thought a lot about both Tony Grealish and Michael...
On this potentially groundbreaking day in the clubs history, hypothetically if they started with 10 original inductees who would you go for?
I will kick off with
Norman Gall
Alan Mullery
Brian Horton
Peter Ward
Steve Foster
Micky Adams
Chris Hughton
Bobby Zamora
Lewis Dunk
Glenn Murray...
It’s been covered elsewhere but funny how Spurs are allowed to play Brentford without Toney even though his case has been going on since October?
Level playing field its not.
Fwiw
I think both Villa and Spurs will fail today so happy days tomorrow against the Scummers 😂
In all seriousness going to one of the County’s top non league clubs, maybe Worthing or Eastbourne Borough on loan, and getting his mojo back and perhaps getting close to or winning the Golden Boot could resurrect his career.
Maybe not with us in the top half of the EPL but maybe with his form...
The intention was to invite the whole squad for the run, so Perry Digweed, Wardie and Andy Ritchie were also missing.
I‘d forgotten that Andy Ritchie played against Norwich in the quarter final.
Could he have made a difference in the final?
We will never know 🤷♂️
It was a great night Phil, nearly £50,000 raised for AITC and again reiterated the need for an Albion ex Players Association. (Even Beachy would agree with that 😂)
He will ultimately fail at his next job due to the aforementioned handbrake scenario, so conscious about not failing he won’t go for it, playing safe instead.
So by 2025 he will be on to his next but one job, at a guess getting Southampton out of League One, Watford’s third boss of 2025 or...
Anyone else watching?
Quality drama from ITV,( what they and the Beeb used to do consistently) a world away from all the Jungle BS of the last few weeks, but unfortunately that’s what pays the bills 🤷♂️
Vicky McClure is one of the most accomplished actresses in the UK today.
