Wondered what happened to him, now at Darlington, there goalkeeper coach and has now registered to play if required as there No2 keeper.

Martin Gray stated he is very happy to have a keeper with over 100 football league games under his belt on the bench for the forthcoming season.

To be fair it doesn't take much to make Gray 'very happy' a working tyre swing and fresh pile of excrement to throw/eat normally does the trick.

This is the Martin Gray, whose private football academy puts Pools effort to shame.

The Darlington FC junior section is far superior to anything we have in Hartlepool.

And they have a huge advantage in that their kids are not barred from playing for boys clubs as well.

And the facilities they have and are still developing put anything in Hartlepool to utter shame.

But lets forget all that.

Lord Martin has turned down job offers higher up the leagues so that he can take us back to the sunny uplands and become even more of a legend. clappp

He seems to spend a lot of time in Hartlepool...I see his Academy van parked on Stockton Road pretty much every week. Is his bird a Poolie?

He actually turned down his go on the ram's bottom. It was the bonus for making the play-offs.

I heard Flamingo Land were sniffing around him but his pen was even smaller than his one at Bishop plus he couldn't bothered with the hourly show in the summer.

Some about turn from Dibble in this thread like who has spent years joining in with threads like this. Is Gray not thick now!?

Like I said, I usually see Gray walking about the Stockton Rd area. So far I've only managed a grimace in his general direction, primarily because he's a Darlo Cvnt.

Wasn't Provett at Pools until recently as a coach?
