Half an hour to go at Clitheroe on Saturday and at 2-0 down Kidsgrove sent on a sub. He was obviously knocking on a bit, well overweight but he could still play and he did look vaguely familiar. I checked his name and it was none other than Matt Rhead, the lard bucket who had given Joey a dog's life in the Cup game against Lincoln about 8/9 years ago. He was clearly tasked with getting Joey sent off and he nearly managed it, several times Joey's red mist was on the verge of descending but he managed to survive with just a Yellow.
Matt is now assistant player-manager at Kidsgrove, he scored within two minutes of coming on and Kidsgrove equalised not long after. At 41 he's still a bloody handful, I wonder if Joey remembers him.
