Peter Frankish and Peter Schofield in 1972-74

Peter Frankish was the worst goalkeeper we have ever had at Altrincham apart from Bobby Irvine (and HE was an Irish International!)

I remember driving to Fleetwood for a midweek night match to watch him throw one in his own net! that bloke was unbelieveable.

a 'fast and tricky winger' (programme notes to describe who?) - we've got Ernie Peters (um, is ths right?)

Sorry I was late with your request, SW, but I think I can help out MG here, You are probably thinking of Frankie Peters our number 4 (wide midfield in todays parlance)in the Cheshire League champioship side.
I've still got the cutting from the MEN in the build up to the Wolves game where he's at work at his garage job and pretending to lift a car back axle like a set of weights.

PS: You didn't mean Ernie Taylor, our winger from a couple of years before that did you? Can't comment on him as I never saw him play.

Noel was a great man, a fantastic servant to our club and somebody who we should all feel grateful to for his time with us.
He moved on to bigger things (like his, then, partner) and played a major part in founding the modern-day Alty.
I wish him good luck.

As it's about 45 miles to Alty, I've never been to a reserves game for many years (not since the Manchester League days when Roy Wilford scored the winner!)

Am I right in assuming we don't do programmes for these? If so, might that not be another idea to make a little more money by selling a four page basic programme for 50p or £1? I'm sure lots of people would buy them and it would all add to the coffers wouldn't it?

Perhaps we need to bring back John Rogers?

After all, he was very good at one form of playing away (allegedly)!

Didn't he used to score very regularly indeed?

For me, if we're talking about current players, it would be;

Kevin Ellison on the wing and Danny Adams at left back.

PS: I'd try to find a place for Paul 'Top Banana' Ellender too.

PS:

If they gave us free pies to entice more speccies in the ground, I think I could be persuaded 

Knowing Alty, they always do it when you least expect it -



and I'd never expect it at York ..................

What a result that would be - Joe scoring the winner on his return!

Yes it will be a real disaster if Nationwide go.

Am I right in thinking that Pukka Pies are negotiating to take over sponsorship?!!

The "Pukka Pies Conference" will not do a great deal to increase the credibility of the league in the eyes of the Football League
