Bawtry Road Doncaster, DN4 5HT. Donny have had a few ex-Reds in the past few years ie. Paul Mansson, Brad ‘Dr Evil’ Hepi, Peter Edwards and now of course Graham Holroyd. How did/are they getting on? Peter Edwards joined the club in the so called “Singe Dream Team” of 2000. The team which by all rights should have won that league by a mile if we’d had a goal kicker in the infamous House of Pain season. He was always a fans favourite. Paul Mansson and Graham Holroyd have to go down as 2 of the greatest players the club have ever had. As with Craig Weston before them we’ve have a run of cracking stand offs. Holly this season so far seems to be back to his best with us and the game at Dewsbury aside has been ripping teams apart (currently stands as top scorer by some way). Brad Hepi was...at best....Singe’s mate. is Graham Holroyd still a scruffy bastard? Is this why he shaved his hair off to get rid of the nits? He goes through phases. He’s done alright with the missus though. Cast your mind back to 2003, when we played at your place. It’s still very much a game that sticks out for us lot in our National League tour. If it weren’t for a desperation Gavin Clinch pinch, you would have won the game. Do you reckon you deserved to win the match? We’ve had a great run in recent years of beating the “big” club of the division. Leigh have found it notoriously difficult to win at Belle Vue and we were the only team to beat Huddersfield the year they spent in the then NFP. I honestly thought we were going to do it again against you lot but remember that pinch vividly...to be honest there’s been too much water under the bridge to remember if we deserved to win...but I can only assume we did...We certainly didn’t on the return game. Now that was a beating. However when you unfurled that banner in the north stand, (“we’ll support you ever more”?) that was a classy moment. Cheers...it took some painting too. We took a bigger one to Toulouse. Cheers mate, you’re a gem...mo. PS David Hodgson is doing my fantasy team a treat
