Former Players

I did speak to him once pre game about the song he gets name checked in. The song was called "Hello" (not the Lionel Ritchie or Adele anthems) can't remember the band off hand, it was basically a list of names. He said the band were fans of the club he was at, at the time (QPR or Palace?) and they needed a name that rhymed with Fred Astaire. Super detailed post I know.

Brilliant, thanks Spoonz. Can't say I remember the video, but better than I thought it would be!

The references to racism are bound to be grim reading.








However, any mentions of Exeter City should be Hilaire re us.

Nice play on words, Spoonz, Chapeaux.

I don't know how true it is but the story was that the er, noise, on 2:16 was a recording of someone farting.

Liked Lee when he played for us if we had our heads down he could be seen shouting and urging people on, I think at times its what we are missing a strong personality on the pitch Rob Edwards was another.

Yep. No leader, except JMT a bit. We need some grit
