Alright I'll go with, did you know Quick Mick used to play tennis professional, but he gave that racket up.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Great times watching Boulding back in the day his pace and one touch finishing was awesome to watch week in week out against top opposition no one could really judge him leaving for villa that season he was class for us his goals basically kept us up also true to his word he came back to us not so long after !! let’s hope he gets a warm welcome at bp today and hopefully spur us on for another 3 points UTM

I don’t remember a Boulding initiating his move to Barnsley. I seem to recall we were absolutely skint at the time, shortly after the ITV Digital disaster, and we cashed in on Micky and Alan Pouton in very quick succession.

That, for me, was a suicidal move and remains a seminal moment in our history. Who knows how different things might have been had we not been relegated that season?

Yep, I seem to recall that was the case as well. Didn't Pouton continue to come and watch us on occasion for a while afterwards when he wasn't playing? Transferred when he didn't really want to leave.

That's about my take on it. It almost hurts to watch those old clips, great players slowly exiting the stage one by one, dropping and dropping down the tables, and boardroom antics/ITV Digital and other happenings all pulling the rug from under a bewildered set of fans who just wanted to watch their team succeed.

Bittersweet memories in there. Thoughts of what could have been which we need to let go now, I'm hopeful and desperate at the same time for this current setup to do the business.
I do think I have my belief back though.

I'd almost forgotten just how decent he was for us.

Another thing of note is the number of goals he scored by hitting the ball first time instead of trying to control it first before getting a shot off.

Yeah I remember seeing him at the 6-0 v Oldham. Always thought that was a strange sale: he was on good money but had less than 6 months left on his deal anyway (money that was probably spunked away by Nicky Law).

Very exciting player to watch, shame he couldn't have stuck around for longer as the board continued to sell the club's best players and watch us drop down the leagues. I guess at least we were a few years too early to be saddled with his not very good younger brother. They came as a package deal for a while lol, it was like when you want that one kid who is really good to play football on your side but his mum insists he can only play if you all let his kid brother play too. Apparently he can't even hold a first team place down in Scottish sides in his prime when we've had some of our conference players be first team regulars for Scottish clubs.
