I'm pretty sure we train on Tuesday and Thursday, and we don't train at the D&D (or at least we didn't used to).

Also, he lives near Stratford Upon-Avon so it surprises me that he's training over here.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

WTFC had a game on Tuesday night at the D&D v St Ives Town which they lost 3-0.

I dropped in for the last 20 minutes on way back from Station to pick up a Chip and Curry Sauce order ;-)

He may be a little bit crazy. (aside... the football writer Brian Glanville published a book in the 60s called' 'All Goalkeepers Are Crazy'... )He may have made many mistakes in his personal and sporting life. He may have had his eccentricities - like standing arguing with the assistant referee while the opposition took a quick corner and scored in his empty goal....but he was still one of the best keepers, if not the best, Diamonds ever had!

Totally agree with you, I loved him by the way and even bought my nephew a mug with his name on it!!

You mean, pat his back pocket while pretending to smoke a cigar when he played in a pre-season friendly at Sixfields for the Diamonds ? Yes, I'm sure that Wobbs fans are a forgiving bunch. :D

I always felt he was a bit of a **** and a liability when his bloated ego overtook his brain when in goal.

Granted, he had some good games but over all I was never 100% impressed with him.
