Seemed to me that whenever it was close for him to make the step up he got injured and that set him back. It's mental, that can apply for so many of our younger talent. Lowe, Bennett, Zanzala, Mcallister, Vernam and even Elsnik at Swindon to an extent. What have they doing to them in training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to my Nan's funeral in Cleethorpes back in Feb and thought it was one of the worst places I've ever seen in Western Europe. Quite scary...

Hull and going into Liverpool make Cleethorpes Road look like a tropical paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwash_Ram Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Cleethorpes and Normanton are like the Dordogne compared to Cotmanhay Farm. Some parts of that are like a slumdog favella type place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Vernam is a local lad to East Lincs/ Humberside area I think. Saw him on a Rams TV interview catching up with him at The Mariners and he said it was great having family close by. I'm sure he will do pretty well for them.

Prefer to spend my UK visits these days swanning around the Peak District and fab Derbyshire pubs. Do you know Arthur Street area of Grimsby? Just off Corporation Road.

There are run down parts of most towns and cities in the UK, usually populated by the poorest people. I just don't like to hear people putting them down because they have better options. I work with a load of middle class people who are paid large amounts of money to tell those people that can't afford what they can how to improve their lot. They piss me off. And I still had two nice breaks in Cleethorpes last year. It was clean, sunny and people were friendly. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are from Chad just off Perth Street, now I live in the South and work in London as a total Banker to be serious though, I am lucky enough to earn a decent wage but I have never forgotten where I come from and make sure my family (who still live in Chad) benefit from my luck anyway lets get back to the football I think the Rocket has gone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Bit disappointed in this, wouldve liked to seen him and Elsnik giving a chance as understudies to Mount and Bryson instead of the likes of Butterfield. Would wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
