^^ I'm many years out of touch with them all to be honest. Those names don't ring bells, but who knows?

Winnie Groak, she wasn't a Frog was she?

It's actually Groarke (I rushed it) but she didn't live in a pond, so no. I just remembered, one of my long-lost cousins married Tony Knowles's brother, for what it's worth.

Then of course there was Wayne Entwistle who, after a career as a poor footballer, went on to deliver cooked meats in the Bury area.

Often wondered about him, but as I say I'm way out of touch with most relations these days. All my uncles and aunts have passed on and only cousins left. The Bolton Entwistles were always strong Catholics (me and our Mick not the best examples) and probably named their offsprings after Popes and Mother Superiors. Anybody know of a Pope Pious Entwistle?

I walk the reservoir quite regular, when fit that is.

There were a number of Entwistle's at Thornleigh in my day.


Wayne Entwistle went to Derby School Bury/Radcliffe. Brute of a player at that level. Cocky fecker as well. I think he may have more clubs that any other outfield player. (John Burridge being the most transferred of them all.)

My Entwistle cousins all went to Thornleigh or Mount St Josephs. Philip Entwistle was a really good cricketer and maybe played for Lancashire. He certainly trialled for them.

Oscar's Nan, a very nice lady of a certain age, will be very proud of her Grandson and rightly so.

She really is a delightful lady.

As it says in the piece, Kevin Nolan nominated for Manager of the Month. As it doesn't say in the piece, another former Wanderer, John Sheridan, also nominated for Manager of the Month.

Interesting that Oscar is filling the Spearing roll with some aplomb.

If the club could offload Spearing's contract in the summer Oscar may well be an asset come August. If his reading of the game is up to scratch and his tackles effective in that central area he's looked a decent footballer to me when I've seen him. More likely I'd think to play the creative ball out than the get and give Spearing seems to prefer.

Yay for the Academy.

Yay for the future!

He'd have to be offered a contract first. But rave reviews might help. And if he can now play midfield in addition to the centre-back role he usually took in our Development teams and the right-back position he has been exposed to in the first team, that's a useful utility player to have - as well as a local lad, academy product, low wage, etc.

I'm not saying the entire team should be Academy grads – we'll need some steel and suss in key positions - but it would be good to see and would make business sense. I wonder whether we'll see a few kept on who might no longer be under-age but could be first-team squad members, perhaps as back-ups rotating in and out of the Dev teams as one of the three permitted overage outfielders.
