Bloke played 500 times for the club. 4 times at Wembley. Always gave his all.

A lot of good memories of him in the Town goal, some dodgy ones too, but still a memorable Town character. Which is more than you can say of most players this side of the millennium.

Wish him well.

Watched them at Lincoln United on Tuesday night and thought Clee’s current keeper looked pretty decent other than he had Macca’s kicking ability, or, more to the point a lack of it.

As an aside Harvey Tomlinson played and whilst decent on the ball clearly needs to develop physically which is one of the key purposes of sending players of that age out. That said it’s a very competitive league and whilst a lot lower standard than we would want or expect our lads to perform it may help players like Scans get back to playing fitness to spend a month at clubs like these.

Bit sad to see this really. Was a really good keeper for us for probably 8 of his 10 years. He's only 33, thought he'd have got himself a conference or conference North club at worst after leaving us. I know Clee town are ambitious but this move basically spells the end of his career and you'd think he could have gone and had another 5 or 6 years as a professional somewhere.

Hope it works out for him and his family, perhaps he has some off the field plans that are more attractive than carrying on playing full time.

Good luck Macca.

Depends how you look at it.. he may be on £200-300 a week at Clee and living in his house with his family.with very little to no commute. Whereas if he'd gone to a conference north / south side he'd have to move or commute and for an extra couple hundred quid it's not worth it (my opinion)

Can I just clarify these are totally random numbers given just as an example.. sometimes family and location is more important than money is what I'm trying to get at.

Good signing for everyone involved I think.

Good luck to the bloke. Probably ideal for him and great signing for Clee. Wish him all the best town legend.
