Wish I was going, but mobility problems due to osteoarthritis in the hips and knees, caused mainly by 14 years in an Infantry Battalion in the British Army and years of playing football, a lot of them on very hard pitches, has left me in a fair amount of pain when walking.

But anyway, been supporting Town for 67 years now, so I'll be listening to the iFollow commentary as usual and will be looking forward to the highlights later on.  Hope we all have a great day and the Mariners get 3 points.  UTM!

Hope our Cambodian/ Burmese/ North Korean striker and his volleyball fitness coach wife ( see kris' detailed post on our new striker) are suitably impressed
Ps can I ask people to keep a look out at mill fields/ steels/amusement arcades/the beach for couples meeting the description?

On slightly less wages than his old man I would hope !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Nuts really, when you think it was 18yrs ago that he was here and i bet there isn't a player in the squad now that is on even a third of the wages he was on back then.

Yep, it was common knowledge at the time, christ I'd be surprised if our weekly playing budget came to that in total these days.....ITV digitals collapse certainly saw to some dramatic cuts in players wages, that was for sure

Wow!!!

Was he worth that amount? Didn't see Town a great deal during those days due to being in the Army.

It was quite a novelty back then too. Imagine if we'd become a popular team in China as a consequence and marketed ourselves accordingly...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I do recall at that time the "marketing dept" were hoping to shift significant numbers of town shirts in China as a result........

We wouldn't have spent all that ITV Digital money if we'd gone down, so if it hadn't been for that pesky Zhang we'd be in the Premier League by now.

Not an unreasonable claim. Have a look at this:

the other 10 helped of course  

He injected a bit of interest and hope in the crowd, fired the imagination, scored a few to earn us points that otherwise looked unlikely...had a big effect IMO that without we would have slipped to almost certain relegation.
