Former Players

We need the old Cheshire League reforming WUFC to bring back those classic games !

Agreed! Maybe then we would pull in more than 90 fans a game regularly aswell… Where did it all go wrong?

Interesting to see that Chris Gaghan has scored 28 goals this season and is 7th in the Unibond League’s top scorers chart. Not a bad return for a wide player.

I would say that Pritch is wider?

Not a good result for Mr. Broadhead, but he was warned they are a club going nowhere fast!!

Ex Witton if i remmember? I was very young when he played so cant remmember much but didnt he punch someone and get sent off? :laugh:

joey p punch someone :ohmy: nar very placid was our joey.
one memory i have of him was in the trophy match at st albans
shadow boxing in front of the home crowd :laugh:

i cannot remember him getting sent off in any witton game.

Joey was in our Wembley party as back-up for Keith Mason. He played in a few league games in the lead up to Wembley. The one a remember was Barrow away. The wind was really bad and we kicked into it in the first half. Every time Joey kicked the ball it went back over his head and over the bar for a corner to Barrow. Somehow it was 0-0 at half time. We went on to win 1-0 from an over-hit pass from Colin Rose from his own half, which flew into the net. I remember Peter O-Brien saying to the players on the way home that the way we defended in the first half would be the way we would have to defend against Martin O’Neil’s Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Trophy Quater Final, especially against Steve Guppy.

and a very nice chap be was while he was at the Albion I seem to remember.

Big smoking Joe lives not too far away from myself,in the New Bold Green/Sutton area of St Helens.This area of the town has been re-developed and it is where the football team use to play.

I spotted Joe a couple of months ago on a sunday morning at St Gregorys High School,watching his son play against a Crosfields side.Naturally his son was in goal and completely filled it.

Joe has also run a taxi cab firm and gymnasium.I work with a lad who was a member of his gym and he said that Joe was kept busy in being a sparring partner for various heavyweights.

On his day Joe was a good goalie and never let us down.I have chosen my words carefully,just in case he reads this and pays me a visit.

Joey Paladino was a gentle giant and a nice bloke. I remember some Wittoners going to see his pro boxing debut, nice to hear news of him! I remember an away game at Stalybridge (I think) him having a good game, good luck to Joe!

Mark Peers released by Halifax Town, according to their manager;

“Mark Peers was a player I inherited,” said Aspin. “It is all about opinions, and I hope he gets another club, but I feel that he didn’t deliver what he should have done on enough occasions"

Sign him up quickly

I agree, get him quick!!
WHS.

£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

It would be awesome! Surely his old mate macca can get him back

I think Robbo missed a few £££££££ off this post, this is the problem with Peersy.

I would agree he is a fair player, especially at this level, however hearing of some of the names the manager is looking at like Dean Canning and Josh Hancock (who I believe are both naturally wingers) then these young well thought of players might be better bits of business.

Of course we also have Heler, who for me is better right midfield than in the middle and given that Macca and Broadhead are the most likely central midfield pair.

All of a sudden though a team is starting to come together :slight_smile:

I’m begginning to feel confident now!! :cheer:
