You have seen this programme before as Stanley usually do a dual programme for home friendly matches pre-season. This is the same programme from the Tranmere game from Saturday with additions inside it
I managed all the 17 squad players who travelled over for last nights friendly at Stanley. Plus Manager Lee Johnson, Ex Arsenal, Watford.....Bobby Mimms their goal keeping coach, Ex Everton, Blackburn Rovers and Spurs and finally Tony Philliskirk who is the Academy Manager at Oldham. Bobby Mimms also added his graph to that Everton shirt I have as did Oldham's Jose Baxter who spent time with the Toffee's. Stanley signing Rob Aisworth signed the front of the programme too. The bloke sat next to me last night and chatted throughout the game I found out later was Doncaster's No 16 Jamie Mc Combe, he's been out injured for a while with a Stress fractureat the bottom of his spine, Unable to train and looks set to miss a few more weeks yet, Signed by Dean Saunders before he left for Wolves....6ft 5inch. tall, What a laugh he was.....caught up with him after the final whistle and he signed the back of my programme. He had intended to go to Mansfields game but having never been to our ground before decided to pay us a visit as he is Pally with a couple of the Oldham lads... very enjoyable night and honours even at 1-1. At 30 years old he talked about doing his coaching badges as the next step in he career...Good luck to him too. Really nice bloke talked about his two daughters aged 3 and 1 and how it was less stressful travelling 60 odd miles each way to watch footy midweek than stay at home and look after them..Lol...Hope his wife ain't a member on here....a bit wary of the supposed £20M investment being talked about at Donny too... Anyway here's the pic's.............PS Josh Windass, Son of Dean, Signed a 12 month contact today at Accrington. Another for that book of mine.

Brilliant once again Alex. Great addition to a top looking Everton shirt.
Lee Johnson is not someone I ever wrote to. Although he was part of the youth system while his dad was involved with coaching at the club, he never did play a first team game for Watford.
