Snappers Extended Holiday

Post by Westyeltz » 09 Aug 2021, 17:24

A line from the official club site stuck out to me.....

"25 goals in 283 appearances in the 90’s lifted Snapper to legend status with the Yeltz faithful, a status continued with the later generation of Yeltz fans when he re-joined the club as Paul Smith’s assistant in 2019".

Not quite correct. Snapper was elevated to Legend when he bought all the supporters a drink in the bar after the last away match at Salisbury! I can't recall the year but as they say........if you can remember the year, you weren't there! Precious times :)

Good luck Snapper, come back soon. Have a George for the journey..... O0

Should say '25 goals AND 283 appearances.
25 goals IN 283 appearances would not elevate him to legend status, but double that amount landing in the car park might.😂
One of the Town's best ever. Good luck chap. Cheers.
