In regards to Deasy I notice that when he appears for us he'll have played for us, Vics and Macc. Who was the last player to do that?

Thinking about it I can't really remember any. I can think of a few who played for us/Macc/Runcorn (john imrie) or us/vics/Runcorn (Eddie bishop?)

But not many if any for Alty/Macc/vics

Go.....

Edit: blimey I can definitely think of one, a very successful player at each club over a 16/17 year period?

John Imrie played for Vics as well - so he is one

and of course Darren Tinson

Phil Power is another one to have played for Vics, Macc and Alty.

Think dootson gets unfairly blamed for Eastbourne. Was a pretty steady keeper all in all and if you concede 4 goals to the bottom side at home it isn't just down to one player for me.

Good luck Tim. Also 30 is not past your best for a keeper to whoever mentioned it. It's widely regarded that keepers are at their best after they turn 30 in a lot of cases

Steady keeper? He was horrendous. Fleetwood away seems to have been forgotten as well.

Cult, Phil Power is the player I was alluding to.

Point taken, but look at the steady downward trajectory of his career: League 2 > Conference premier > Conference North > Evostik South.  

Anyway, I'm labouring the point a bit here. Good luck to him, hope he proves me wrong.

We are simply not going to sign a top notch quality keeper better than stu and sit him on the bench....who would come and do that?

So welcome Tim, hoping you will prove a steady keeper and I'm sure you will get games.

What is more important for us is to have a more solid team ahead of the keeper...that is priority number one.

When stu does retire or make clear he is happy to be 2nd choice I am sure we will bring in a suitable number one keeper....but how do you replace God??? 

I do agree a preferable option would be to bring in a young promising keeper and develop him....but lets wish Tim all the best....

Slightly off topic....thinking of ex Vics players made me wonder where John McAliskey was these days. Apparently he was last heard of with Royal Dolphins in Division 2 of the Huddersfield League. Still only 30. And no we shouldn't be looking at him

I think the keeper is a priority and we shouldev made the plunge and got a keeper who is better than stu but we have took the easy option however I do think deasy will be a good number 2 keeper

Coburn is arguably one of the best keepers in the league.

He has showed this season he still has more to give.

Good luck Deasy.

[Jimmy]

If coburn was still one of the best keepers in the leauge then deasy would be a good signing as number 2

Val only played for Vics (twice) of those clubs. Also Hyde, Halifax, and Southport.

Lee Elam played for both V*cs and Alty to i recall
