I never knew him.
I don't know what to say. So sad.

My grandfather was working with a member of the Hartley jam family to set up the British operations of Spar when he had a major stroke. Aged 32.
Jesus, Dave, that is so cruel at such a young age. Dreadful.

It appears that we have 15 or 16 players (and two of them are keepers) out in Morocco who are due back, I think, on the 15th. We play Rochdale 5 days later with nothing even approaching a squad. If those 15 or 16 are being regarded as first teamers (and let's face it, some of them are trialists), some bugger has got to act a bit sharpish to get at least another 5 or 6 in. A CB (or 2), LB, CM and 2x strikers. For God's sake, don't tell me that Detective Redfleece is dealing with it. Or are we picking up a few completely unheard of 5th division unknowns on the way home?
I'm going to Forest Green, fool that I am. Do I need to take my boots?

Suspended for apparently telling out of contract players there was interest in them.
Thinking about it, the cynical side of me wonders if said players were AL's boys or not. It just seems that there is always something that these two looneys can do to screw up the club one way or another. I've worked for one of the most detested companies in its particular sphere, but the Lemsagams can take it to a new level.

PS Another coaching member of staff has been sacked too...
It's not a football club; it's a dictatorship. It really is a wonder anyone, in any capacity, wants to come to Latics.

Youth team goalkeeping coach. Gregory Hartley. Dunno if he's been permanently or temporarily promoted.
Cheers, mate. I'm going to resist Hartley jokes; they'll only lead to jam and jelly puns.

Looking at the Morocco videos, it looks like we might have a goalkeeping coach. Any idea who he is and when he arrived. Also, unless I've missed it, what's happened to Mick Priest? Sacked? Walked out? Sometimes, this club of ours is like a training ground for MI5.

So has Giles Coke appeared in any of the pre-season tour photos or videos?
I'm kind of hoping that his absence is for the same reason as O'Grady's.
Can't say I've noticed him. Mind you, he was difficult to spot when he was playing.

Carlo Corazzn .......couldn't hit a barn door from 2yds.
Scored the winner at Upton Park in the League Cup. 2002? 2003?

I've had a look at his stats at Dundalk. He's hardly started a game and not always used off the bench. A bit surprising, that IMO.

When we could get him on the pitch, I thought he was brilliant...
Tough and solid. Didn't he once play with a broken foot?

But Stanley never won the national did he?
Correct. And Red Rum never played in a Cup Final.

I'd agree with @kowenicki that the team spirit looked very good. All seemed to be gelling together. The camel looked a bit bored, though.
By the way, who's the huge bloke in training gear? He was at the back on the right in the airport pic. Sefil, maybe?

Thought Ronnie’s was the nearly as lesser spotted than Purdie Chris Swailes
Just checked - Purdie signed 2009 so yeah fits Penney’s era
At least Swailes managed the odd game.

I think I have the winner. Not on the list.
Rob Purdie
I don't think he ever played for us.
Yes/No?
Yep, Purdie was with us 2 years and never played once. But he was (allegedly) a midfielder, although we never actually found out.
He retired at the end of the 2017/18 season after his 5th spell with Hereford (and several other non-league teams along the way).

Biggest mistake letting him go. He’d still play the whole season for us if he was here and be the best defender on the pitch.
Fucking lunacy but nothing surprises me with those two fuckwits in charge. Nothing has made me think otherwise in the weeks of pre-season ... in fact it’s cemented my view of their fuckwittery.
Unless we have 7 or 8 decent players lined up - 2 CBs, a playmaker, 2 strikers, a DM another fullback and a winger - then we’re fucked big style next season.
That line up at the airport would have the opposition pissing themselves.
Other clubs around us are signing decent players in numbers. We’ve signed two GKs, a fullback and a fucking Spanish donkey
About as much use unless something miraculous happens

He’s going to Portugal on their preseason training camp so they’ve probably recognised his value to a squad already.
As did everyone connected with OAFC apart from the clowns that own it
The guy will be a massive, massive loss to this club this season
100%
...future manager potential without a shadow of a doubt and I hope it’s with us one day!
Unfortunately, not a hope in hell while the Lemmys are here. I seriously doubt Clarkey would even want to walk on the same side of the road as those two looneys

Steve Kabba stands out as one for being completely devoid of footballing ability.
Billy McKay with his 0 goals and 0 assists from 20 League starts and 6 sub appearances has to be the worst record in the club’s entire history for a striker...
I'd forgotten about McKay. Thanks for reminding me.

Not at all. I don't agree how you can base someone who had three starts with us as our worst ever striker ....
I'll try again just one last time. He started 3 games. He luckily scored a very badly taken penalty for his only goal. He often wasn't in the squad, but he wasn't injured as far as I know. When he was used as a sub, he looked as though he'd never played football in his life. I don't think he would have scored if the opposition had gone home. So those three starts, then not being selected followed by having zero ability when used as a sub tells me he's one of the worst we've ever had.
If, by some strange quirk of fate, he turns out to be the striker we've been hankering after, I'll hold my hands up, admit I was wrong and accept he's worth having.
Now, is that fair enough?
Edit: FWIW, although I believe Vera is crap, Feeney was even worse

anyone good at Guess Who?
I can probably name 3 or 4, but I'll tell you who I can't see. O'Grady.
Every cloud and that.
Anyone spot Chris Eagles? There's some story floating around that he's training with us.
And it looks like about 15 players there. Some squad that is.

LOL
Vera's scored 1 in 3 starts and is on the list of our worse ever strikers LOL
Joke.
From the penalty spot. And he nearly ballsed that up. How many times was he a used sub? Add that to the 3 starts and you see that he wasn't very good.
Now come on shucky lad. Admit it; you're on a wind up.

Jesus! I’ve just seen the other thread, please someone tell me it’s a wind up. Can’t bring myself to check the fishul in case it’s true and he has signed
Go and have a lie down in a dark room; he has.

Why isn't Warren Feeney on the list?

Knock it off, son. You've had a mild roasting for this before. Show a bit of maturity.
