    Great way to introduce yourself

    Hats off to Joe Westley who went out on loan to Swindon yesterday and was included in their squad at Newport tonight.
    Newport were once managed by Joe's father who got the sack when they were bottom of the league. When he came on to the field in the 63rd minute he was greeted with the usual "Who are you" calls, however, within 12 minutes he had scored his first EFL goal which won the game for Swindon.

    Well done Joe, you had been doing it at Under 21 level regularly, I sincerely hoep that you can carry it on in League Three. Great start.

    When Peter Ridsdale took over as Chairman at Preston, virtually the first thing he did was sack Phil Brown and replace him with Graham Westley, he lasted just over a year.

    I have just realised that Graham Westley was a member of the same QPR youth team that my oldest son, Lee, played in during the 1980s and that Graham went to Wycombe from there.
    Our Lee was unable to continue his path because he got punched in the eye in a school game and suffered a detached retina which ended any hope of becoming a professional footballer. He had two operations, however, it was re-attached with a slight fold in it but it never stopped him doing anything else he wanted
