Had a walk on sea front today after seeing my dad who has dementia in a care home……to try and clear my head!
I noticed a guy wearing a town shirt sat having a cup of tea with what looked like a carer. When I got closer I saw it was Dave Boylen. I sat and had a chat with him about his career and he remembered everything…..
There was a twitter post asking for players names from the McMenemy promotion night…..he knew them all!
His carer knew he played football but never realised that he was a legend at GTFC….
Bless him…..sat with his town shirt on
I know he’s not well like my dad but feel I made him smile and laugh which is the least he deserves.

I would post the photo I took of him but don’t know how to?

It’s not all about winning…..

Yeah I also saw Dave today but did't get to speak to him as he was on the other side of the road near the lifeboat station and yes, he was with his carer. He never goes out on his own these days.

Town through and through and a great bloke as well.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

It's all about caring
Caring for the club now, and in the future
Caring about current players and those that have retired
Caring for your community
and especially
Caring for your family, young and old.

He's out walking with his carer most days on the seafront. See him regularly when I'm out doing my daily jaunt.

Bet it takes him ages as people are always stopping to talk to him.
