“Pools are another I always keep an eye on re their results, and I hope they can get back on track soon.

“Craig Hignett is back in charge and I really wish him the very best. Higgy was a delight to work with in my Boro days – tactically very knowledgeable, very skilful and a real big character in the dressing room.

“He is back in charge of team affairs at Pools and I hope he makes it work – the fans there were always very passionate and they really do deserve to be back in league football.’’

Good lad Robbo.
Would love to see him get involved with Pools
