How bizarre is this?! David Mulligan is at The World Cup Finals with New Zealand! How has this happened? Does anyone remember this bloke? Played at full-back for us for the last few months of THAT disasterous relegation season 07-08. He resembled nothing more than a jobbing footballer making his way quietly towards the void that is non-league football and here he is, possibly playing against Italy later today! Yet another Port Vale connection in South Africa. Let's see - Robbie Earle, David Mulligan, and, of course, Brighty - Mark Bright, BBC Co-commentator and product of the Rudge years.
Dear Antoine
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you might be able to help me out. Some friends and I run the pan-Football League website The Two Unfortunates. Last season, the site covered just the Championship but we are now extending it to cover the whole of the Football league.
We are now thinking about our pre-season preview and having recently reviewed last season of our own backs, thought it would be a good idea to enlist the opinions of fans of each of the football league clubs in advance of the new campaign. I was therefore wondering if you would be happy to give your thoughts to some pertinent questions concerning the Vale?
The questions are below and if you are willing to be of assistance, we would need the answers by Thursday July 29
1) Headline of the Summer (e.g. for Plymouth Argyle it would be the arrival of Peter Reid)
2) Ins / Outs (with fees if possible)
3) Any major worries?
4) Who owns your club? (not always as clear as you would think?)
5) Likely starting XI on August 7th
6) Your prediction (a choice between the following categories, e.g. Championes!, Automatic, Chasing the play-offs, Middle of the road, Scraping the barrel)
Thank you very much if you are able to help.
Best wishes,
Rob Langham
