Afternoon, all.
I haven`t said anything of late as I really haven`t had anything to contribute, but I thought I`d put on record the fact that I`m still listening.
I agree with you about Gerry Sears, Dev, and remember him well. I think he was in the same team as Albert Holmes, Dave Blakey (at the end of his career), Nobby Clark, Brian Frear and Charlie Rackstraw. I think Charlie went at about the same time as Meredith and I`ve a feeling they may have gone to the same club, but not sure. Was it Gillngham or Bounemouth, perhaps? Anyway, that was mid 60s - they`d certainly gone by the time Jimmy McGuigan`s team won the old Div 4 in 68-69 - and the last time I saw Charlie play was for Bradford City against us in about 69 or 70. Happy days - let`s hope there are a few more on the way.
Best wishes to all.
