Do we know why Bill Asprey got the sack?

I know it's maybe a bit too soon to ask, but any thoughts on when the truth about Bill Asprey's dismissal will come out?

No idea ?

Never mind that, what became of Dave Collins?

Club legend. Probably one of the best players we have ever had called 'Collins'

Don't know but I recently discovered that Scott Guyett is Head of Sports Science and Strength & Conditioning at Crystal Palace.

I always thought he had a double barrelled name..... Asprey-Out ?

I seem to recall him as one of the worst players we ever had - but he was playing in the top division!

Well, 2nd division. Now Jacko McDonagh , who remembers him !!

Aren’t we forgetting Sean Reck? Think he managed to achieve two own goals while he was here.
And what of the promising Eddie Denton?

I still don’t understand why Rix got the sack?

I heard it was down to his spell as Director of Coaching in Rhodesia*.

People struggle to deal with our colonial past - as Cecil's statue would confirm if it wasn't just a statue.

He hit his own crossbar with a header from outside the area (against Hull I think)!

 

[Steve McAvoy]

Asprey replaced Roy Burton with David Brown who immediately had a stinker in a game against Chesterfield. I wrote to Asprey raising some concerns about this decision. I got in return what I can only describe as a hand-written rant, although to be fair to him, he undoubtedly wrote it himself. No tears shed when he was shown the door.

I think it was against Blackburn Rovers, with Simon Garner putting away the rebound.

Whoever it was, it was quite an impressive feat!

I remember that vividly. Also Darren Jackson slicing into his own net v Millwall

Saw Eddie Denton at the Oxford City preseason friendly last year, as it goes.

I think Eddie managed a one match appearance as a sub against Watford. My brother always asks me how he’s doing
