Any sense and if he still has the legs which I am sure he has at this rubbish level then in front of the back 4 like Boshell,alongside moult which will allow moult to go furtherf forward which is his best position and richman out wide! Moult is capable of scoring a few! Really would like to see reeves and walshaw back together!

Best post of the whole thread.

You can't look a gift horse in the mouth so wherever he plays he will bring invaluable experience and, like Ecky says, having in the dressing room alone will be amazing.

As he can't commit to Conf National I guess we'll be waving him goodbye once we've won this league though

May I be the first to say Higgy out?

People like you bring this forum down.

I believe he is currently playing centre mid as captain for Chester (or was). He can play in midfield no problem, leaving the current back 4 as they are. Moult and Higgy in middle with Richman right and Clee left. Reeves and Walshaw up front for me, BUT Perry has been playing very well and linking well with Reeves, so my mind is not made up about the front pairing now as long as we can keep all three happy.

We can win this league if everyone pulls together, and get back to playing the sheep shaggers on Boxing Day.

Give him the armband, and put him in front of the back four. He's always said he would come to Moss Lane. Experience, commitment.....what more could we ask ?

i have dined out for years on my story .

i told danny higginbottom "to go home your not playing for the bowdon hotel your not good enough", home was about three houses away . on urban road.
you may say that was bad judgment but he was about 7 years old

his brother higgy was our centre forward and he was only 12/13 and went on to play for alty and loads of sh*t welsh clubs. i am sure loads of the teaser age group know them both well.

happy happy days

When Danny was about 9-11 I used to play football with him on Stanny Park in the shadows of Moss Lane.

He was so good that he used to put himself in nets to make a game of things and he was still unbeatable then.  He would go round everyone for fun, then do it again and you couldn't even kick him.

It was always a case of "right, we've got first pick, Danny!"

If this comes off it will be one of football great stories.

The last bloke to do it, Colin someone didn't make a bad job of ending his career at Alty.

There seems to be a lot of people thinking I have retired from football. This is not the case. I'm just going to play at lower local level

Some peoples ignorance of non league football on twitter is incredible

[Mrs Warbouys]

Yes I enjoyed one bloke retort "so your basically retiring then" this league really is sh*t, we're a bigger f**king club then AFC Chester for a start, let's get back where we belong

All rumours are wrong it is not Danny Higginbottom, but is it Frank Sidebottom..........oh wait a minute.

Surely some song around this subject though?
