There seems to have been an ongoing saga of severe and debilitating pelvic bone and hernia problems since just after the time Colclough gave us all hope by scoring twice against Tranmere.

However, such afflictions can be overcome, as proven by the recent birth of his baby. (What it is to be young; me, I'd have been happy still to be able to negotiate the stairs.)

Does Mrs C. know something that our 'A Team' of physios does not? Anyway, congratulations to the young couple.

I won't make the point again about there being rather too much R & R at Reaseheath.
