Re: Thank you eric whalley
all I would be prepared to offer on the subject will be now that he has finally gone the story can only be told by the history books. They will say that during his tenure the ground became a stadium and we rose from the then NPL (or below) to the Football League - becoming a professional side along the way. Just the same as during John Alty's reign we rose from the Cheshire League to the NPL and the pitch became a ground, just the same as during John Prescotts, Jack Hudsons and Bill Parkinsons reign the swamp became a pitch and we rose from obscurity to the Cheshire League. The history books will mention that his demise was a stormy and unlamented affair but most of what could be written will be unproven and only opinion. My opinion doesn't matter anymore so shan't be written.
Goodbye to yesterdays man and hello to todays King.
