No his dads name is Steve. Might be related though.
He comes from Bassett and used to play cricket for Wootton Bassett.
Thank for finding out PV. It was in the late Sixties in the Wiltshire League. He was a very good goalscorer, like Scott.

His dad was only born in the 60s so it could even be his grandad? although they are more of a cricketing family.

Yes I was thinking that generation. Never mind, I knew Ernie Hunt's dad, and played against Ernie in Schools football.

My paternal grandfather's father's brother's son called Fred used to play cricket for Middlesex and England. I do't think he is related to Scott, although his surname begins with T.
True story.
That’s quite a unique surname...

Twine does have the build of a modern cricketer to be fair. More an extra cover or third man type fielder. Possibly a seamer too.

I heard yesterday on Facebook that Conroy’s injury status is a lot worse than the club are letting on, I hope this is not the case as another long-term injury lay off could be bad news for his future.
Facebook you say.... must be true.

I do think they said it was a couple of weeks before he started training (so no change to if match play).
But lately it's been a 'don't know when he's back' so may need another defender as Broadbent also crocked.
regardless, Conroy isn't going to be playing in September at least

Some of it is true some of it is not, same on here I am sure.
My biggest issue with people saying they saw it on FB is that FB is a platform not a source. It’s like saying “I saw it on a website”. What’s the source? Who said it? The club? That wankfest of a fan group? The mental Cheltenham fan?

I've known people who have said Google can't be trusted as a source. I've a hunch they don't know how it works.

Not sure whether there is any merit in obsessing over things said on Facebook groups and other similar online platforms.

Far to analytical for me, all just places where people talk rubbish about football, end of story.
Just read back and I was a little harsh. I despise Facebook, for a variety of personal and professional reasons. We all obsess about titbits we read everywhere, and I’d be a hypocrite to slag you off for that. Fingers crossed on this occasion what you read isn’t true.

My Dad taught at Moredon School, where Ernie Hunt had been a pupil. When Ernie was transferred to Coventry City, a school trip was organised - Ernie would give a guided tour round Coventry’s ground, and then we all had seats in the Directors’ Box to watch the game (can’t remember who the opposition was). Ernie capped our day off nicely by getting sent off! Ah, memories!!

That surely has to overtake even Flerfers in the Darwin Award stakes? Imagine being a Flerfer, Anti-Vaxxer and making a comment like this? Must be a wonderful place to be

Apparently, Ernie Hunt's dad was also called Ernie, and he called his son Roger. Mind you playing a Roger Hunt in school's football is not to be sniffed at either. Is Rob Hunt a relative ? Bet the old kit man calls him Ernie, or Roger.
