Summerdeep Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) ^ It's possible, but I can't actually remember. The post-1994 period doesn't really interest me very much. I've no idea who the vast majority of ex-players mentioned in this thread are. Edited May 9 by Summerdeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Matty Warhurst just came on for Man City u18 in their cup final v Leeds and scored a very good goal. Currently a regular for the England u17's and City's youth top scorer on 21 for the season. No idea if we got cash for him but the lads doing well for now.

Still Summerdeep is alright, life takes all sorts certainly nothing wrong with those who want to reminince about past times I actually find People with stories prior to my time watching Latics quite interesting.

Worcester Owl Posted Wednesday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:50 PM Not sure where else to post this as Joe Nuttall is not really an ex player, but my Cheltenham Town supporting golf mate, determined to put the mockers on me, told me just as I was about to hit a tee shot that Nuttall has come back to us, apparently having told Cheltenham that he would prefer to stay with us! I don't know if that's true, but what is true is that I promptly dobbed my drive 50 yards into the right hand rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accidentally bought a very good driver in the collection (clearly the seller didn't know), so I sold that for a profit and bought a trolly. I've somewhat given up, now I can play football and stuff again, but it's certainly more accessible than it first seems if you genuinely wanted to take a crack at it. It's a time sink though, that's for sure.

A friend of mine took golf up early 40s with fairly young kids at home and threw himself into it. Practice, warm up, 18 holes, socialising etc. - so out of the house for a minimum 6 hours. However, he'd just retired from playing Minor Counties cricket which took him out for three days at a time so it seemed like quite a big concession to domestic responsibilities... He's divorced now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
