Excellent post, DGFG.
I especially liked the comments about hearing a footballer giving us more than the usual lines about one match at a time, we all gave 110% etc. I, too, have enjoyed hearing Tom Pope on Radio Stoke - he clearly isn't the dumb 'ale can' that he was often painted as during his last year or so at the Alex and his match summaries are so much more considered and inciteful than those of Andy Griffin, to just one.
Perhaps our current lad who seems to enjoy a night out more than training, young Mr Colclough, might benefit from a few minutes with Popey!
