Title: In the family Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 10:23:41 ....so Oliver Allen is the grandson of Les Allen our worst ever manager, also the nephew of Paul, who some will recall with a short lived fondness.....there was me thinking it would be Grazioli who would come back to haunt us.
The thought of some of Les's signings is enough to cause a week of sleepless nights. Title: In the family Post by: juddie on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 11:05:17 I thought allen was one of the best players on the pitch last night, alongside sinclair and bailey for them.

Title: In the family Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 13:17:52 The Adver says that Clive Allen is 'Swindon bred', suggesting that he is 'from' Swindon. That is surely more Adver bollocks?
Similarly, his kid, Oliver can't be from Swindon as that would mean Clive Allen lived in the town as well. They're getting a bit over-excited with their Swindon connections I think. Title: In the family Post by: fatbury on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 13:25:10 I believe Clive played for Swindon Schoolboys and went to school in Swindon for a while

Title: In the family Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 15:17:25 Shame really that Les was such a shite manager as Clive became a million pound player in the late 70's.....when they were rare. I suppose had Les still been boss the youthful Clive would have turnrd out for us,

He really is from Swindon you know.
floghorse Title: In the family Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 17:09:06 I heard he was born in county road, and used to play regullaly on the CG extension.
How did we miss him? :shrug: Title: In the family Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, 17:09:34 Its my understanding that Ashton's father was a high up in Honda....as well as offering up his son as a player he'd negotiated a 20mill buyout of the clubs shares.
