We lost, fairly convincingly it must be said, to Aldershot, whom I cannot imagine troubling the top half of the table by the end of the season.
Our strikers are actually physically painful to watch, so ponderous are they.
Yes, I actually don't think he was the worst of the three that year, and I know many wanted him to go when he did, but he really did set fire to the place before scarpering into "retirement"
Is Jeff King any good? I remember him in our reserves a few years ago, nephew of Alty legend John King. I just assumed he had dropped down a few levels and disappeared, as all of our reserve players are apt to do. I was most surprised when I read of him at Halifax.
We had three in the same season:
Neil Young (on his comeback tour, part 2)
Jim Harvey (played 10, lost 9)
Matt Doughty
All utterly terrible in their own unique way. I think some were more culpable than others however.
First league game between Alty and Wealdstone in over 30 years I think. I must have seen a couple of games between the two, though the only one I remember is a 2-1 defeat at home in Wealdstone's double-winning season, my first season watching.
