I wanted to buy Micky Woodward a drink last night but was shy, he also had his entourage (who were thoroughly nice people) wth him so had a little whip round last night. Obviously it was nothing really official and I only asked people I knew if they wnated to chip.
So if you did put money in the pot, first of all thanks and just to let you know we ended up with £55.50. Now as it turned out Geoff had already said that anything Mick Woodward and his friends wanted from the bar was to be on the house and at no point was he to have to pay for anything. Having already given us £20,000 last year effectively
I gave it to Jenny who gave it Mick Woodward and forced him to accept it and get themselves a drink or some fish and chips on the way home or something. I'm told he was overwhelmed and very touched that anyone was arsed at all (God knows how he'd feel if he knew just how much respect and gratitude we have for him). Being the (in my opinion) very humble bloke that he is he wouldn't accept it at first but as I say Jenny forced him and again he was very touched.
So thanks for contributing and thank you Mick Woodward for all that you've done for us and we have you here next season for a conference national fixture.
Oh and also the night was topped off by getting the chance to have a chat with one of my all time Alty heroes Nicky Daws. Top man and obviously a great deal of affection still for the club and GH. Magic player and still look like he could play now (think he's about 37/38)
