Bobby Hope

I have just leaned of his death. He was manager of Bromsgrove Rovers when they finished second in the National league many years ago. What an achievement, and one i witnessed. So many wonderful games, especially under lights. So many great players, league clubs miss many.

One of his training routines was to line players up on the edge of the penalty area, and roll balls across the eigh**** yard area. His instruction was not to worry about power, just score.

Eight in ten missed, causing much hilarity.

Rip.
