Yes most def if consider what he did for us while he was manage ! But why did we sell him at that point in time? And why did it take so long to get replacement in Warboys? :thumbup:

On the whole our squad was getting on a bit then. Besides strong rumours where that the directors did not want to get to the first division then. It would have cost too much money.

yes certainly even though it was nearly 50 years ago I believe that could have been the catalyst to push the club forward

Those rumours persisted for many years. Probably true. Things only really changed in the last ten years or so.
