Re: One club man
Why all this weird longing for the old days?

Re: One club man
Jay Rodriguez has played for us for longer than other clubs combined, not sure why he wouldn't be in the second group.
Re: One club man
Definitely,but a previous poster was talking about having a disconnect with the present team ,how things have changed when the players didn’t think twice about jumping on a bus to go to a game ,they say change is for the best ,but would love our kids and grandchildren to have had the chance to wait on Brunshaw rd waiting to get the players autographs ,of todays players half of them wouldn’t give you the time of day.

Re: One club man
No slight on him ,I just couldn’t remember all of them ,however Jay went away to richer pastures where a lot of them were moved on to keep the club financially viable,daveisaclaret wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 10:54 pmJay Rodriguez has played for us for longer than other clubs combined, not sure why he wouldn't be in the second group.
Re: One club man
On holiday recently, I saw a billboard by the side of the road which read:
"Don't look back - you're not heading that way."
It's made me reflect quite a lot ...........

Re: One club man
They kind of do ! Not that that really matters when the poster is just referring to decency and good manners.
Mind you I don’t think there is any evidence indicating our players would behave poorly in this respect is there ?

No ,but lots of young kids idolise these players and a bit of their time wouldn’t go amiss ( this wasn’t a dig at our players )

He was our record fee received at the time and was moved on to keep the club financially viable
Re: One club man
Why do 90% of posts on this board which aren’t controversial at all lead to people wanting to start an argument ,I know I like a good argument but for goodness sake just accept a post as it was posted,

Rightly or wronlgy football is a business. An entertainment business first, a sport second. Money will always win. Such is life.

Daniele De Rossi was the last of them, sadly.
Nothing wrong with reflecting on times gone past - not everything was sunshine and rainbows but memories are all we have at the end of the day..

Re: One club man
Alex Elder never came back. He moved to Stoke and then continued to live in Staffordshire before he and his wife moved to southern Spain. They have returned to England now but back to Staffs.Westleigh wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 10:38 pmOh for the old days when we had one club men apart from when they were in the twilight of their careers.

Re: One club man
Surely, Leighton James deserves a place on any list of players who returned to play for the club. He was even part of the team which played against Leyton Orient in May 1987.
Re: One club man
Definitely missed John ,and the LB Jones but i can’t remember is first name,and if I’ve missed anyone it’s only my memory ,no one deliberately missed.

Re: One club man
I've heard nothing but good reports when kids have approached the players and management for autographs both this season and previous seasons ,so where do you get that they wouldn't give them the time of day?Westleigh wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 10:55 pmDefinitely,but a previous poster was talking about having a disconnect with the present team ,how things have changed when the players didn’t think twice about jumping on a bus to go to a game ,they say change is for the best ,but would love our kids and grandchildren to have had the chance to wait on Brunshaw rd waiting to get the players autographs ,of todays players half of them wouldn’t give you the time of day.
