Will always remember his volley in front of the BB in the defeat to the Turks, but he clearly wasn’t in the right place at that time.

"My agent couldn't believe he'd sent me down there". Hmmm. Was this man Justin Walker's agent as well?

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
A decent player for the Grecians,but he never really wanted to be at SJP.
Imagine how good he would have been if he really wanted to play for us ?..Michael Jackson & Goon Geller oh **** off..

We obviously don't mean anything to Coppinger apart from being somewhere he wishes he wasn't. Ah well, his loss not ours.

I wouldn't think many players were overjoyed with playing for City at that time, Geoff.

One of the most talented players we've had. Looks like he got help just in time. He's a legend now at Donny and good on him for wanting to play for as long as possible.

Interesting article here: https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/doncaster-rovers/james-coppinger-interview-i-hit-rock-bottom-but-what-i-went-through-made-me-the-person-i-am-today-1-9274597

Coppinger was a good player for us however he wouldn't pass the proper chap test.

Interesting to see Alfie May doing well for Donny, he was a player i suggested the club should look at when he was at Erith and Belvedere....
