It's the best news we could have had that Rob Elliot will be with us for the rest of the season.

After the Boxing Day game I was having a drink with a young friend of mine, Matthew Sewell who's a good 24 yr old amateur 'keeper in Halifax.

Matt watched Rob Elliot from the Bus Depot end (oops, sorry, the South Stand) at the Shay and was mightily impressed.

He told me that everything that Rob did, his whole persona, his body language and his command of his territory, was redolent of a particular goalkeeper - Peter Schmeichel. And this from a committed Shayman !

Rob Elliot is surely our key signing to get Stanley back into the League outright. I don't know how it was negotiated or how much it cost to get him, but I'd just like to thank ASFC's Directors and Staff for giving us the finest possible New Year present !
