I get Nova Hreod as that's a completely new school when I went there it was Burna😀

 I never actually knew the reason why, with my Mum having gone to it in the Burna days, being a Moredon lass.

Hreod Parkway, as it was then.  Best school team in the County I think, at the time.  Several of them went on to be signed at Youth level and/or play professional/semi pro.  Meant I was destined to rot in the back-up teams (maybe because I wasn't actually that great and had the fitness of a sloth).
Hreod was a great football team back then, I had 4 players in my leaving year (1982) who went on to become apprentices at STFC including Hughes, Wollen, Bristow and Reynolds from my year and Gillett and Lango (IIRC) from the year below and then Nigel Packer too the year after.

My old mate Jimmy Walters who was a couple of years older than me played for Swindon reserves along with Charlie Henry.  He was offered a full time contract but his dad encouraged him to go into Engineering where he has had a successful management career.

My years were 86-91, Danny Jordan was also on Swindon's youth books from my year - both he and Fraser playing in our Reserves team under Hoddle.

Anyway, Wayne, call in some favours.

The school I work at has a particularly good football team, made up of year 5s and 6s. There’s one lad in my class who even at 10 years old clearly has phenomenal natural talent. It’s scary how easy he makes it look. I’m not saying he’ll go on to make it at any level when he’s bigger, but I also wouldn’t rule it out. Very strong already for a kid his size (he’s smaller than your average ten year old).

Not been here for a while . I think that Flynn is a good appointment. Should get the team playing pragmatic football.

Gav would have been a good wildcard choice given his record filling in.

Main take away from this OSC with Flynn is that it sounds a bit uncertain for Mad Gav...

TBF I like Mad Gav as a person, hes a personality, but was brought in to be defensive coach, and we have been pretty terrible defensively this season.

So it would be thanks for everything and good luck in the future.
