Didn't we have a player with us who was voted Latvia's player of the season? I thought that meant he was quite good.

Gibraltar U17s lost to Steyning Town U18s at their national stadium two years ago and the captain of Steyning was Mini Hut no less.

Perhaps they could organise a friendly with Catalonia when they get independence!I'm sure the EU would arrange safe passage through Spain!

Barcelona to Gibraltar by air could go over the sea - no need to involve Spain at all.

Well done, they are a small outfit and this is a great achivement. Will get better when they can play at home. Shame Jeff resigned before this fixture.

I see this was the first game back at Victoria Stadium on the Rock. Brilliant.

Gibraltar U17s lost to Steyning Town U18s at their national stadium two years ago and the captain of Steyning was Mini Hut no less.

Not quite as impressively I won the Steyning Town U-18's player of the season in 1998.

It's a great club.
