This needs more than just an entry on our RIP thread

Jim Smith...our last cup final.
He took us there. We did not do ourselves our you proud.

You were a great manager

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

To be fair to Jim he didn’t go home too unhappy that day so I hear. Not that I’d know as I was -3 at the time.

Anyway, RIP.

I remember the QF when we beat Chelsea (always a good feeling) at the Bridge with Mick Robinson scoring from the halfway line.

Your right we never turned up!

We stayed in the dressing room while Oxford were playing!

 

[Tramore Ranger]

A good guy....

One of the first manager's to introduce wing backs.....way ahead of his time....

According to beeb he managed derby and Oxford....no mention of us....quelle surprise...

RIP
