North East Ram Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 He won the equivalent of La Liga as manager I think which is obviously some amazing achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oomarkwright Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Definitely think the club should do everything to encourage more connection between the club's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seddon its a very good read. It is a really interesting book. One anecdote that sticks with me is when he was interned in the first war. He'd been in Germany on some sort of tour and was put in a camp. They were treated pretty well. The camp had a football league and another inmate kept a diary. Memory tells me Steve played for the stables team. The diary entry for one game recorded something along the lines of : "The Stables played the Kitchen, the former winning by 14-2 helped no doubt by having Steve Bloomer of Derby County and England in their team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about if the first team comes over to Oliva Nova Golf like all the age groups have! That's only about half an hour away for me and would be much appreciated ?

Mafiabob Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Maybe if Mel is reading we could arrange that friendly in March against this team, I'm pretty sure you'll get a decent crowd and maybe play annually for a Steve Bloomer trophy?

TigerTedd Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I feel I haven't appreciated Steve Bloomer half as much as I should've. With Rooney breaking the Man Utd recirdnit got me wondering if he was anywhere close to the most top flight (not just premier league) goals so I looked up the list. I was shocked to find Jimmy Greaves at the top (I think I nee that at the back of my mind, but my only memory of Jimmy Greaves is presenting Saint and Greavsie on ITV, and he was slightly rotund and mistachioed). And lonand behold, right behind Greavsie in the list is our Steve Bloomer. It'll take a long time to knock him off that perch. Proper immortal.

Yes they do wear black and white just like the Rams, but it appears that they were their colours long before Steve Bloomer arrived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant idea Bob .. Maybe it should be in the suggestions for the club thread. Lots of interest and a bit of sporting romance thrown in. Football is the only truely global game, we should build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Had a look at their website. Pretty good ( unlike my Spanish ) 5th in the table, just drawn 2-2 against Real Sociadad B Black and white .. Think I might make them my Spanish side to keep an eye on, although not being sure of the quality it might be a Macclesfield Town experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
