Just heard the sad news that Roly has passed away.

Got all of his and the video crew's highlights. Him and John Moore made a great double act commentating.

Condolences to his family.

excrement, that's hit me right in the feels!  

Voice of my Town education that.  Absolutely lived and breathed 90 Great GTFC Goals 1989-91 on VHS, wore it out until it was unwatchable.

THIS IS NOT ANFIELD!!

RIP Roly.

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

We seem to have had so many losses this last year /season  and I'm not talking about on the pitch.  

RIP Rolly and all the others who have sadly passed

They will all be in my thoughts for these  last 2 home games .

Hopefully we can further remember them in some way

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.










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
