Just watched Tom McCready playing for Colwyn Bay away at Caernarfon Town on S4C.

Seeing The Oval ground of Caernarfon again took me back some years…..

I remember going there when fans could travel on the team bus. I think it was a 3-3 draw after Morecambe were 3-1 down with a few minutes left. They had a big centre forward maybe called Austin Salmon or have I made that up !

The coach stopped at a pub on the way back and one of Morecambe's players (a Scouser could have been called Diamond ?) drank 6 pints of lager in no time. Someone said he used to sleep in a bus shelter !

Yes , you are correct. Just googled him. He played for Morecambe in 1988 and was one of the players that Joe Woj. took to Colne Dynamos. I was wrong about him being a Scouser , maybe he just lived there , he was Scottish and played for Workington and Barrow amongst many other clubs.

I wonder if he's sulking, or actually making an effort? Probably been told his agent has a move to Real Madrid lined up for him in January window.

Jensen Weir back to Brighton

Maybe 6 month loan for him would be good

Redshaw & Alessandra both scored in a 0-4 defeat of City. Anyone remember when Lancaster were our rivals? :lol: :lol: :lol:
