It only just occurred to me today that Steve Gillespie is used to being a Robin......he's played for both Bristol City and Cheltenham Town, who share our illustrious nickname.
Some sort of perverse record ?
-
Clearly third time lucky! :D
-
He's been once....twice....three times a Robin,
But he's saved the best until last !
-
Have a mate who supports Cheltenham. Says Gillespie is a class act but has been unlucky with injuries since leaving them for Colchester.
-
Thanks JTH, you're very very welcome.
-
Have to say I am getting more and more pleased with his signing.
-
I think we may have had a player in the past who was thrice a Robin.
In January 86 we signed a winger called Steve Buxton. Think he played for Wrexham and Cheltenham. Or maybe he made his debut or scored against Cheltenham? Maybe a 2-0 or a 4-1 win? Think he was quite good but anyone who signed for us after Xmas that season was always going to be a squad filler.
If Ashton United are the Robins too that poss opens up a couple more.
Flyby, Cult, any recollections?
-
Never played for Cheltenham
However did have two spells at Wrexham
-
Debut v Cheltenham?

Ballers,
Steve Buxton made his Alty debut (and scored a penalty) in the 4-1 defeat of Cheltenham Town at Moss Lane on Saturday, 11th January 1986 (i.e. three days before that FA Cup tie against Birmingham City).
He also played in the 2-0 FA Trophy Quarter-Final victory at Cheltenham Town on Monday, 10th March 1986.
His Alty career comprised a total of 5 (+6 as sub) appearances during the 1985/86 Gola League campaign.

So will be be looking for a big money move to Swindon?
-
Wasn't he the bloke with the moustache and a face which suggested he'd taken his false teeth out for the photo? (possibly he had?)
I've got to admit I didn't rate him too highly at the time but, then again, he had quite a lot to live up to.

Not bad considering it's pre-season. Pleased with that.
