2 Years ago today.

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

RIP Nat. Look down on this sorry lot who aren't fit to lace your boots and give them a hand ;)

It does, but somehow they manage to feck so many of them these days?

Even Mandela and Churchill in London are really pretty crap and the football ones always ridiculous hands or something.

I'm not affiliated to the Lion of Vienna site in any way so I feel no shame in bringing your attention to their special Lofty feature. Heartfelt and attractive (if somewhat in need of a subbing, but then most things are these days), it's a hefty read but worth it.

£100K plus the cost of the plinth. £35K raised so far, the club is obviously stumping up the balance as it'll be unveiled in August.
