At the age of 43 Barry 'Bazza' Hayles takes on the club he first signed for, Bristol Rovers, when he plays for Chesham in the Cup tomorrow. Grand memories of the man please log in to view this image Very best wishes to him for tomorrow. And here's a link to a wonderful story about him, leading up to the game: http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/top-stories/veteran-hayles-ready-for-emotional-rovers-reunion.html [Edited from City to Rovers after Tosh correctly picked up on my error]
I share a birthday with Barry Hayles. And the Football League. I've always been quite chuffed about both of those facts.
Wow, top of the shop in the BBC2 FA Cup programme - "Barry Hayles, coming on was a calming influence" as he helps Chesham beat Rovers 1-0 away from home and that after they missed a penalty. Here's a link to the highlights: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34691159 Hope they do the business again in round 2 and then roll on January ... you never know what the Cup will conjure up!
