After a period of decline, York look like a club on the up again to me. I've been critical of their new ground in the past, and I still don't like it's location or its seating pattern, but having seen it in the flesh it's a really good facility and wouldn't look out of place in League One.

Pleased for Lenny, I hope he continues where he left off in the play-offs and hits the ground running next season.

Good luck to him.

He did well at York last season and good to see them as a club on the way back.

As a character. As a man. Lennie’s one of my favourite players of the mid to late Fenties.

Underrated in his first spell, he often carried the fight on his own.

We’ve had far, far better forwards but I always had a soft spot for his tireless bustle and selflessness, which was matched only by my defence of him on these boards.

His nickname, ‘The Shop’, almost a metaphor for the destruction of town centre retail. The Shop’s bricks and mortar presence outdated in a world of one-click online Bogle’s and Tshimanga’s. If you bought a revealing halter neck, wore it once and returned it with the stench of cheap perfume and bukkake, he’d greet you on the returns desk with a smile and give you a full refund. No short expiry date store credit notes with our Shop. And he pays his taxes. Crashing those shutters down at the end of the day, ignoring the scruffily daubed graffiti, with the heaviness of business rates weighing down on him like Jon Parkin’s sunken armchair…

…anyway…

Best of luck Lennie with the marriage and the Minstermen and we’ll see you in the first round of the Cup (probably).

I think it gave us all a lift when he came back to us. Always been popular and I am pleased the loan move to York City has turned into a permanent move. Wish Lenny all the best.

Love him, loved him the first time and potentially loved him more the second. One of the few players along with Giles Coke who actually gave a excrement the year we got relegated, I certainly won’t forget that.

Hope he proves a few people wrong and has a good few years with York.

Great servant, many memories including his dummy celebration!

Really interested to see how he does next season, with paddy mclaughlin there too, and potentially other ex town players, that makes york my fave national league side next year.   Although it's gotta be anyone except scunny Chesterfield and the Hollywood underdogs really.
Oh I nearly forgot Bromley.

I'm in York often and will be there the odd weekend when Town are away, so if York are at home, I may just pop along and see Lenny in action.

Players come and go at the club, some easily forgotten but the shop because of his name and 100% workrate is not one of those.
If he could have found a little steadyness in front of goal he would have been elevated to a legend, due to his high percentage of misses.
Good luck at York, we will watch your progress with interest

Incredible pro and human.
Great player in his first spell, and was one of not so many bright sparks when he returned in our relegation.

One of them players that will always be welcomed back
