It was stood right behind it eye level view was going in the moment it left his foot.
Two outstanding memories of Gary Roberts from the 2006 season:
1. Away at Gray’s Athletic, ball passed to Roberts out on left wing level with penalty area, he sells a dummy (a la Pele) to the full back without touching the ball, runs around the defender, and crosses for Paul Mullin to slot home. Brilliant.
2. Cold wet Tuesday night at Aldershot, pitch completely waterlogged, floodlights reflecting in the puddles, but ref miraculously allows game to go ahead and Gary Roberts tears the Shots apart and bags two goals.
Welcome back, hope he gets a chance to shine.

Welcome back to Stanley Gary, but does this mean Paul Cook might return? LOL
Think having Roberts back is a good move as he knows this league very well and has had promotion from this division too. I don’t expect him to be a regular or be as good as he was before with him being older, however he will be a solid addition for sure. Good signing!
The only better news today is Joey Barton leaving Fleetwood lol.

never saw him play for stanley as it was before my time. its a type of signing where he could be just a bench warmer or another kevin ellison.
Gary is a class player at this level he has managed to stay reletively injury free ok obviously and by his own admission his pace has gone but his football brain will still be sharp if not sharper can see him straight in on bench and in the team with the amount of fixtures to fit in, especially if there insisting on no break.
Remember those two games well Exile. Tv cameras at Grays cos they were expecting to break a record with another straight win. Mangan got red for a bit of petulance and Coley was invited by the ref to watch from the stand !
At Aldershot we had to queue outside ground to await ref's last minute pitch inspection. Brought uncle Proccy Fan with me - at one point he needed a pee and when he came back I had to tell him about 2 rapid goals he had missed. Won 5 - 0 me thinks

Yeah, at the time I seem to recall Grays thought they would be walking into League 2, but an unfancied horse came up on the rails and beat the lot to the title!
Aldershot was a great result, but a ‘mere’ 1-4 score line on that night!
And after his last loan spell....
Why do you ask??
Because he's available Coleman rates him can play right or left wing back/ full back, center half, or even midfield and he,s a decent player you add if you have ambitions of top six finish.Plus I think there could be room in the sguad as there could be some going the other way possibleby on loan.
If and it's a big if Cashy he would probably be on loan yes I know that would make 7 but most aren't getting a game anyway and we have had more than that before.
Didn't stop us going for Roberts, one or two more signing in January according to John this morning, doesn't seem keen on picking McGuire, Mohammed or any of the younger lads so personally think defence could do with experienced cover.
