There was a link to that same story in a Pompey rag on t'interweb this morning Snoots, so likely something in it.

Quote:After research was done in 2018, it was thought that Albert Bateman, who was alive and well at the age of 94 in Thornton-Cleveleys, was the oldest living Town player.

He had been a teammate of Graham’s and played at Leeds Road between 1943 and 1950 before an injury ended his playing career. However, in early February this year, Graham Bailey was tracked down and found to be alive and well and living with his wife in Bridlington.

So it's a Happy 101st Birthday today to Graham Bailey. https://www.htafc.com/news/2021/march/ha...am-bailey/

Ex Town player, Mark Cooper (10 games in 1993 on loan from Fulham) has been sacked by Forest Green Rovers. Odd decision as they're currently 6th in League Two. Been there five years.

Strange decision, they are batting way above their weight and still have a chance of promotion. Maybe something else happened in the background.

Norwich? Does he get out of bed before 10:00am?

If he's so good, why is he still at Norwich? Didn't he say the exact opposite when he joined us? So if what he says is correct who dismantled it?

A certain Colin Quaner of St Mirren, managed by Jim Goodwin, scored one of the penalties to give them a semi-final tie against St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup. Three of the four quarter-finals went to penalties, with Dundee United, the only side to have an easy time, playing Hibs in the other semi-final.
