He was a gem, how we let him go was criminal. He was a class act with thighs like tree trunks. How I wish we could clone him. Probably one of the best players I've seen in a city shirt. He ended up playing for Newton Abbot in the Devon County league. And if memory serves finished up playing in goal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Slightly off this topic but wow! What a night. The barman used to own a pub in Kent which was frequented by Charlton players including Ralph Milne. He didn't know any stories about Ivan Sproule or the centre forward we had called Smith (I had forgotten his Christian nane). Ryan McGovern's sister works in this hotel though. He's now at Shrewsbury apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are in Walsall at the moment but planning on going further north at the earliest opportunity His wife and children live in Salford and he used to commute from Bristol weekends and midweek . I know this as I met his in laws on holiday and they told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Who knew we had this much knowledge of Wilbs and his leaving arrangements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'll ask the bar manager here and see what he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Owen didn't have too many traits when he was a young un he was just fast enough and would rarely miss. You never know with a player who has his speed. A decent preseason with good coaching and he could be a useful squad player Exactly. I don't think loan spells are as important for forwards. They're useful but I don't think vital. Playing against men at any level would've been very helpful. Another loan would help but I'd want that loan to be at as high a level as possible and only if he wouldn't get any game time here(which at the moment he could be our fourth striker assuming Wilbs goes and Engvall stays on loan). My ideal loan for Shawn is to fight for a starting spot somewhere at L2 or higher. Think that type of competition would be invaluable but he may be able to do that to some extent here over the summer. No rush to loan him out. See the interest but don't loan him out until the last few days of the window imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 7, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 All seems quiet on the Wilbs front at the moment, maybe seeing what options are open to him Noticed he's not in the 22 man squad for the Guernsey match (not listed as rested either) - be interesting to see if he is involved at BMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this can't go on more than another week? Also no Garita either, which suggests the Cheltenham rumours could be true.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the point I was raising, but you could ask why is Aaron Pierre playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
