Quoted from forza ivano


was in the same squad as Eastwood at Sheff U as well.
i will throw another name into the mix Lawrence Vigouroux, ex Orient, on a 3 year contract at Burnley, not played a minute. Did hear we were trying to get him in on loan in January


He would a phenomenal signing for anyone at this level.  Was always too good for this level, I'd suspect he'll have got a decent enough deal at Burnley to put him out of our price range though.  Suppose going with just one 'keeper and chancing the back-up situation (kid on the bench, emergency loan if needed) would at least merge two wages into one.

Same for someone like Blackman, mentioned a few times on here.  I do like having two 'keepers battling it out and I think complacency is dangerous.  But the value you get from standout keeper is arguably worth it.

Also had Jake Hessenthaler (son of Andy) and Luke Hendrie (son of Lee) in the Town team.  

If all the Dad's came to watch it could be like a Masters Football special, more so with another boost from the Town bench in the form of Jamie Pollock (Dad of Mattie).  Jock Curran's Dad (Terry) would probably have to be manager as he's a bit older.

I've done a loose check but it doesn't appear that Crewe's Eddie Nolan is the son of any of the Nolan sisters.


Danny Amos is of course famously the son of Professional Widow signer Tori Amos. Had a pint of mild with her in the Rutland before the Accrington game back in October. Nice girl. Big hands though.

Hadn't fully appreciated his record in a Donny shirt. 17 appearances, 13 wins, 3 draws and just the 1 defeat. 7 clean sheets. Donny were conceding 1.9 goals per game prior to his debut, and just 0.8 with him in net.

I've no idea how much of that is down to him, but he certainly seems to have been a steadying influence.

Lainton is 34, riddled with injuries and hasn't played a game since March last year. Flinders is 37 and also hasn't played since last March.

Think we've got to be trying a bit better than that.

I think Lainton was generally highly rated by Wrexham fans; he was just crippled by injury. Alas, they ended up with Christian (son of Andy) Dibble in his place toward the end of the 21/22 season, who was never good enough to have found himself playing in a National League play-off semi-final, as we exposed to great effect.
