Quoted from Fenners
If this is true, I'm absolutely gutted. Roly's help in everything I do with the OTD stuff on Twitter has been invaluable. I've bags and bags of his tapes in the loft.

Didn't know him before I started the account but over the past few years we struck up what Id' like to call a friendship and he'd sometimes randomly call with news about a Town player or just somebody he thought I'd be interested in. Remember the early days of the account and the excitement when he'd call to say he'd found another bag of tapes.

Done so much for the club and we are very very lucky to have the content and matches that the film crew recorded, especially the early 80's stuff when other clubs of our size weren't doing that.

His sense of humour was brilliant too.

Just a legend of the club and Town.

RIP


Could we have a collection of some of his iconic bits?  He and John were the ultimate commentators on Town games IMHO.

RIP Roly. Great Great memories... 'You'll not see a better goal on any football pitch anywhere in the world.' Roly after the Buckley Babes had scored a worldie.


Was that the amazing Tika Taka goal?  Absolute quality.

We've not had much luck on and off the pitch us Mariners, have we?  

RIP Roly

A loss of a true character. When I was younger an old mate of his said to me "next time you see Roly ask him if his nose and tash come off with his glasses" ....
I never dared.
His double act with John Moore was absolute class.
RIP
