It’s been a long time coming but we’ve slotted in the last three pieces of our jigsaw. Pretty fortunate as we’re just two months away from the club’s anniversary. Thanks to John McCann for getting us started and Paul Newall for his early detective work.
I didn’t expect it to take five years, though.
Now, how many of these can we expect to see on Thursday 28th May?
