Mrs Moon used to live next door but one to him in Royton when she was s kid.

Would have thought playing at Oldham was a better idea myself if it was possible.

Guy is a legend , well deserves his 15 mins of fame ( well 90 mins actually )

Don't find Chappy funny when he's gurning and all that, but when serious, he seems a bloody nice bloke.

Especially like the insight this video gives, from about 30:00 onwards.

I'm glad you posted that: I hadn't seen it before & I really enjoyed it.

Absolute legend chappy. He really helps create a good atmosphere within the dressing room.

If anyone has a chance to get to that game you should. Some absolute legends in that line up. Would be good to see them again.

Whenever you see a former player on tunnel cam they always make a beeline to Chappy. To me that speaks volumes about him. The players obviously appreciate him and respect him.

Hope its a great day and i will defo try and attend.

I'm not having the bit where it says Fred Eyre is an accomplished broadcaster!

i personally think Fred Eyre is a top broadcaster,very dry wit.

Agreed

would love to see mario and ndj turn up as i recall videos with them and chappy and it looked like they were having a ball and were full of respect for him

Why couldn't it be played on the reserves pitch if the Etihad was unavailable?

Playing it at Stockport is Manna for Rags.

I still fancy going though.

Maybe because Les played for county?

My bad.
