A tangible link to when we were any good. Rude not to. 

Absolutely.

 

We'll become a dying breed soon. Not many under the age 40 will remember the golden age. We should have an oral history project to capture the memories.

Halifax with the comeback of the night... Losing 2-0 when they went down to 10 men against Notts County but managed to win the game 3-2 - pleased for a certain P Wild 👍

Would that be the same P Wild that got shown the door by someone who wouldn't know anything about living and breathing,  and loving being manager of the club he loves ?

He found the door all by himself. Sensible chap.

Was devastated when he signed for Sunderland so soon after arriving with "Bebby" ( who was keeping well the last time I spoke to him, before this bloody pandemic started ! ).

 

He was a powerful midfielder and we could have built the team around him but selling him showed a profit and meant we effectively got Keith for nothing, which proved a great bargain.

 

RIP George.

thanks for the insight Bobledgersheart.

My sympathies to his family and friends.

 

 

Pete could you explain this concept of making a profit on a player please. Its possibly something that would be useful to the current owners.


It relies largely on not bringing in dog shit to begin with 

 

so they need to fix that part first

Local lad done good by the looks of it.

 

'Upon taking over, he said his first priority as new owner was to improve football operations and match day fan experience at Edgeley Park'.

 

AL take note.

I think the splendidly named George Kinnell was Jim Baxter's cousin. Baxter, who for younger readers was a kind of Scottish Gascoigne, had just signed for Sunderland and wanted a drinking partner. George was happy to oblige and agitated for a move. Latics cashed in.

 

Latics started the season brilliantly and were top of Div 3 and going splendidly. With Kinnell going , Johnston and Ian Towers getting injured, and Frank Large sold it all fell apart and we finished about tenth. Ken Bates lost interest and left the club in the mire about eighteen months later and we declined to just about the state we are in now.

 

Then came John Lowe and Jimmy Frizzell....
