Title: This will make Flynny and the more senior Alty supporters very jealous....
Post by: TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe on August 15, 2007, 05:44:41 PM: I've just received a copy of the programme for the Northern Premier League match between Alty and Wigan Athletic on 25th October 1975.....

......and one of the pages has been autographed by none other than DAVE FURNIVALL!

What a legend he was....

He was dreadful wasn't he.I think that he may have scored a decent header against Gainsborough Trinity in the Trophy (2-2 at home got whapped away about 4-1 I think) but apart from that...totally useless.....he made Eric Shreeve look like Luca Toni!!

Les Rigby....decent man but poor manager at Alty....god rest his soul.
