Winslow Boy

Happy birthday Rhodes. Hope you have a good day. No doubt in a bar in Denmark watching the football. I hear the country is still in shock after that horrific incident with Eriksen. Thankfully he looks set to make a full recovery

He was my manager that day, spent a long time pre and post game talking footy, he was great company, insightful and open and genuine. He is a unit too, not an ounce of fat on him, still looks an athlete. I had a mare that day, couldn’t trap a bag of cement, he hooked me off 😂

Been lucky with the charity games over the years to play with and against some absolute legends.

Joachim played. Few others too. Scored in that one too, tap in two yards out though 😂, wasn’t really ready to play, limped through a half.

Cheers mate, did Richard Sneekes and curled one in the top corner and ruptured my calf all at the same time in this one 😂

Apparently all those players are sh!t anyway, were only subs and the manager was happy for them to leave. Winslow have lost whole teams over the years to the likes of Ardley, Buckingham, Aylesbury, mk teams and so on, this season a lot of players have gone to Risboro. Aylesbury vale or whatever name they had that season approached Paul and Roni mid season in a previous season to try and get them to come over and bring majority of the players with them. Winslow had a whole team leave on the Eve of a season and had to pull out of the league for a season, lost a whole team when Perry Mercer left

Apparently they are dishing out a few quid and have signed some good local players.

Can’t see Winslow in any position to go for promotion. Over a number of years they’ve consistently been up there and only a poor start to ‘this season’ has knocked them down, but with managers and players moving on I think it would suit them to stay in division one now.

Darren Byfield manager there isn’t he? Sure I remember seeing that Sylvan Eubanks Blake had signed there. This might all be pre covid though.

Yeah, all looks positive. We’ll see, I’m not sure about all this back room team stuff, not much coaching you can do at this level, lucky if you get one training session a week with everyone. With rumours of a few clubs around paying out silly money it’ll be interesting to see what players end up where.

They’ve a great track record over 30 years almost, I’m sure they will continue to do very well.

Well be interesting to see how they get on, they’ll be building a team from the youth side as I’ve heard a number of the first team have already said they are signing for other clubs, certainly they will be almost starting from scratch.

😂 give it time, all 5 of them will be in there at some point.

Great for any clubs that want to take part. I wouldn’t bother if I was running a club but can see why others would.
