as opposed to the more usual happy man very old?
That's been the story of my Alty-supporting life a lot of the time ... but the rest of the time, it's soooooooo worth it!

Pain's still fresh from our three year stint down there for me to even go there. Must say though, I wouldn't like to see Eastbourne go down. They 'put it about a bit' but are still a genuine part-time team trying to play within their means.

I was concerned when his youtube clips video seemed to be the same stepover from 10 different angles.
In terms of my favourite Alty Clives, he is defo second.
Got to be third, at best, behind Freeman and Colbridge!

As for his best hairstyle, surely it's the one from "The Hair Bear Bunch". That was a better perm than the (then) wife had - and she said as much herself!

Would be fantastic for Barrow, Kettering and Crawley who would get, effectively, six more points for nothing!

For me, the magic memory of him would have to be playing Sheffield Utd in the replay at ML. I was stood on the grass bank (which has become the mausoleum) and we were kicking towards the open end. He came down the near (to us) touchline and cut in towards the goal before letting fly from distance. I was right behind the flight of the ball as it curved up and left into the top right hand corner of the net. A fabulous finish and a brilliant memory!

Clubs to appeal over Chester Expunging
Posted on: Fri 19 Mar 2010
Oxford United have confirmed that they are one of ten clubs that have registered an Appeal with the FA and Football Conference concerning the expunging of points, following the recent demise of Chester City.
The 125 year old club was expelled from the Football Conference after a vote by clubs at an EGM, following their failure to fulfil fixtures. They had until 5 March to appeal the decision. Having not done so, on 8th March, the Football Conference announced the board decision to expunge all points gained by any teams in matches against Chester City.
A spokesperson said
"The strength of feeling within the clubs that have appealed is that the decision to expunge points so late in the season was not the right way of dealing with this situation. We don't think that it was fair or reasonable when the Conference as a whole is considered. By the time Chester were expelled, 80% of the playing season had passed and we believe it would have been fairer to all to have awarded teams 3 points for the unplayed games, a solution the FA has previously implemented. This way all events that happened on the field of play, whether they be points gained or lost, bookings, injuries, bonus payments, goals scored etc all count, which is as it should be. We do not believe it fair that points and the record of goals scored are expunged, yet bookings incurred in those games remain in force and count towards match bans".
The Football Conference has until 8 April (21 days) to serve a reply, after which the FA will announce a date for a Hearing.
Seems a no-goer to me.

« on: March 19, 2010, 05:18:34 PM »I don't believe for a minute that we have released him purely because of his 'attitude'! I suspect it may have more to do with the fact that his performances were so abysmal that he even made Wayne Entwistle look like Gerd Muller.I think this simple statement on the club website, sums up Clive's time at AltrinchamIndeed, GH won't put up with someone who hasn't got the right attitude
Clive Moyo-Modise (right) has asked to be released from Altrincham FC to seek regular first-team football elsewhere and the Club has agreed to this.
We barely have enough fit players to fill the subs bench but yes, you may leave.
Showing your age a bit there, Cult!
(Having said that, someone of my age might have said "made Paul Dobell look like Geoff Hurst"!)
