Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be

If we restrict it to mortals: Paul, Piearce, Ben, Evran, Troy.
But give it another few seasons, especially if he's tested at a higher level, then that could well change.

At first i thought i had missread this but the 'mortals' tag obviously explains the exclusion on a certain Mr Moss.

Raiden, you may not like our 'nostalgia' but we had a belting good time for many years. So sorry if it offends but the simple truth is we will probably never see the like again, so please let us enjoy.

It may well be nostalgia for an age yet to come.

It's not only Biscuit references on here you know!

And whilst I 'm at it........

I see Formula One started again last weekend. Quite frankly, nonsense and ridiculous. Not a sport.

I hate fast cars

I have to say Westy, was n't it great to see Vinnie Jones beaten up by the Musketeers ?

The bit where Dartanagn runs him through with the sword was the best bit

Cannot believe i missed that one! I'd be far more impressed though if you could squeeze 'Why she's a girl from the chainstore' into a quote! Anyway as i dont know what to do with my life i'll leave you to it.....

25 seasons ago the 1988-89 squad was:

Back Row: Fred Birch (Trainer), Henry Crampton (Coach), Sean Flynn, John Rhodes, Michael Guest, Neil Stephenson, Nicky Adams, Malcolm Hazlewood (captain), Peter Sturgess, Noel Orbell, Barry Wyle (physio).

Front Row: Lee Joinson, Ray Anslow, Steve Morrall, Mark Penn, Stan Jones, Paul Joinson, Richard Hancox, Stuart Cash.

The most notable ‘senior memory failure’ is Richard Hancox (second right, bottom row), who bettered his playing career by marrying the daughter of Torquay United Chairman Mike Bateson. Subsequent to the article below, I believe he resigned as Tivvy assistant manager after just a month in 2013.

There are also plenty of colourful tales and mentions of Richard Hancox in Garry Nelson’s 1997 book entitled ‘Left Foot in the Grave’, chronicling the 1996-97 season at troubled Torquay United – well worth a read if you stumble upon a copy.

The father-in-law infamously appointed and then sacked new Torquay manager Leroy Rosenior after just ten minutes in charge (possibly the shortest-lived manager in the history of association football?). Ventriloquist Bateson (complete with Algernon – see below) returned as Chairman in 1997 less than a year after a disastrous sale of the club and re-appointed Richard’s wife Debbie and the mother-in-law Sue as Torquay directors.

Here’s a flavour of Richard’s father-in-law…
