Totally agree - Val has been an absolute star for alty and very sad to see him go. Don't think any of us will ever forget his contributions in the play-offs, especially for me the excitement of the match at Kettering. Wish Val all the best for the future!
Also - Stockportalty - remember when you bumped into him at the petrol station at Tesco? I don't think he could quite get over being recognised! Celebrity status!
I had the fortune to encounter Val Owen at The Trafford Centre today.
We had the honour of letting him have our parking space as we escaped from the hell within.
Nice to have the opportunity to thank him for all his efforts on behalf of Altrincham FC and wish him well in the future (perhaps we could have done with him on the bench against Southport...?!).
He did ask me what on earth had happened against Southport in the FA Trophy.
Frankly, I didn't know where to begin....
