Yes, I remember his review in ’Where am I ?’ magazine.

‘ I could see the floodlights in the distance as I approached the ‘Old Vic’….. erected by the Romans in 287AD as a chariot racing stadium as the ‘Kevinius Poolus’s Chariot Emporium’ and then……(I’ll go past the boring bits, move onto the 1970’s)…. I was enchanted by the peeling green paint on the delightfully named Clarence Rd Stand, love at first sight, the macho corrugated iron fencing, no dry places in the ground …toilets of a brutalist nature that had to be smelt to be believed….. this was what I had been seeking all my footballing life, forget money, I’ll play for nothing, the rest is history etc, etc, ‘

Molyneux made it off the bench on Tuesday in his first squad appearance of the season. Timi is still keeping his bench place warm & Hendrie is nowhere to be seen. So much for greener pastures

When’s Molyneux gonna start banging in the first of his guaranteed fifteen goals we were told we’d lost, for Doncaster?

He hasn't been playing because he picked up an injury in pre-season, same reason Joe Grey hasn't featured yet for Pools:
