Title: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: tans on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 10:19:44 As we can allegedly celebrate the departure of Leon Clarke, lets raise a glass to Shaun Close, who joined the club 22 years ago today.
Shaun was the never the best player, however even he managed to score against the Scum. All hail the Closemeister :beers: Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Ardiles on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 10:25:51 As we can allegedly celebrate the departure of Leon Clarke, lets raise a glass to Shaun Close, who joined the club 22 years ago today.

The following 89 mins were not quite as entertaining though.

...which is probably a good thing. Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Gnasher on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 10:49:03 I can't remember Closey ever scoring. Blimey! In that case, all is forgiven.
Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: tans on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 10:51:09 He scored twice for the town, tried to claim a third but it was an own goal.
Closey was brilliant Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: herthab on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 14:32:42 He scored twice for the town, tried to claim a third but it was an own goal. Closey was brilliant He really wasn't though, was he. Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Doore on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 14:34:02 I remember his goal at the Manor - what was his other goal?
Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: tans on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:02:25 I remember his goal at the Manor - what was his other goal? Darlington in the rumbelows cup. Herthab, he was.excellent in a Shit way Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:07:34 I remember his goal at the Manor - what was his other goal? V Darlo in the LC....2 legs back then we lost 3-0 at Feethams then turned them over 4-0 at the CG. Dave Bennet recently arived from Man City had his leg broken in the first game. Can't quite remember if it was the 3rd or 4th....but Close sort of hooked it in from about 10 yards as it came across his body. A lot assumed a pre Fjortoft situation of all this bloke needs is a goal then he'll be on his way. He was out of football altogether via the poignant little vignette in the C4 doc....where John Gorman is ringing around clubs trying to find him a gig. Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: tans on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:08:46 Thought he went to barnet reg?
Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:12:11 Thought he went to barnet reg? Well that's the equivalent of being out of football. Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: tans on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:14:40 True.
I think he was their star signing. They had just got into the league I think. Now.Oggie hunt went out of football totally I think Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Doore on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 19:26:03 V Darlo in the LC....2 legs back then we lost 3-0 at Feethams then turned them over 4-0 at the CG.

I remember that bit in the doc - say what you want about the man (and as a manager he had many failings) but John Gorman was and is one of the most decent blokes in football.

Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: thepeoplesgame on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 20:01:13 Now.Oggie hunt went out of football totally I think Forest Green Rovers legend. Star striker in their back-to-back promotion seasons from the Beazer Homes League Southern Division to the Conference - where they remain to this day (just about). So yeah, on reflection I guess you're right :) Title: Re: A celebration - raise a toast Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 8, 2011, 20:18:52 I remember that bit in the doc - say what you want about the man (and as a manager he had many failings) but John Gorman was and is one of the most decent blokes in football.

Herthab, he was.excellent in a Shit way I went to that away leg, my worst therefore most memorable away trip, 15 hours on the coach, no beer got wet and had an hours kip before I had to go to work, and I was sat next to the shitter which stank. memories |
