JQ was a good striker We shoukd have signed him instead of Bamber Should have signed absolutely anybody instead of Bamber Think Im linking the 2 because they were together at Swindon. But Bamber had left for Watford by the time we signed him And yes, ended up being a shocker

Came into my office to buy pallets with a Leek Town player So he went from deliveries to pallet procurement? He’s probably working in Wall Street by now if that career trajectory is anything to go by This was years ago. He saw my Stoke poster and wouldn't leave. Was obviously mates with Paul Stewart from City days as kept telling how brilliant he was going to be for us. He was quite sweary as well and gave him all the disused pallets in the yard so he could get some work done

Bertie delivered a parcel to my place of work about 20 years ago. I remember him looking thoroughly depressed. Anyway I digress Came into my office to buy pallets with a Leek Town player Cranson delivers parcels now He certainly does, I was his manager for 12 months (Cranson I mean) Edit - sounds surreal when I say that out loud 😂 I'm still working for the company but moved to Manchester now so no longer looking after that area

Who am I mistaking him for?
I just Googled his images and expected a larger than life man with big hair and a Mexican moustache.

There’s another Jimmy Quinn on Wikipedia, scored 188 goals for Celtic but died in 1945.
I’d stick him up front against Plymouth.

Had a bloke drop a car off this evening at work in which I went out to him & asked if he was living the dream. He replied “not anymore mate but I used to be a professional footballer”. Obviously I started to quiz him on who he played for, position etc & told him that I’m a st holder down Stoke. He named West Ham, Bournemouth, Reading, Swindon & also Nothern Ireland in which I was straight on google. Also said that he was a prolific goal scorer back in the 90’s & remembers scoring against Stoke. He’s off to West Ham on Sunday to watch them play palace but also said that he gets to the odd Stoke game. I was wondering if anyone on here remembers him as I would have only been a young kid when he was playing. Also, Was he as good as he says? He went on to say if he could fast forward 30 years, he would be a millionaire now. It’s mind boggling how money has changed in football, He is now out delivering cars all over the country. Yes used to play against him regularly in the late 70s.He used to play for Whitchurch when I was at Alsager Town.Was very good in the air and could hold the ball up well.Wasn’t the quickest but knew where the net was.The league was full of ex pros and young players going up through the leagues.

Was manager of Lewes when they played their home FA cup tie at Stoke. Their free kick routine is a thing of legend. A bloke I used to teach with came on as a Sub for last 5 minutes for Lewes. Loved the bloke, but so jealous and had to hate him for those 5 minutes

My old next door neighbour was Chris Fairclough’s ex-wife but he popped round a couple of times as they were still on decent terms. He played for Forest and Leeds in the 80s and won the last First Division title.
Nice bloke always happy to talk about it but yeah also in that sort of hinterland of football before life changing money, their lad is a fitness coach at Liverpool and is on more per week than he ever got apparently!
