Very interesting. The Dunford Board and Martin Dobson don’t come out of it too well though.

Shame for him social media wasnt around back then. Could have forced the QPR move (like Carayol) or pressure the club to pay him what he was worth. Doesnt seem that kind of person though...

"When I was at Lebeq I called Rovers and let them know about a couple of players that having played pro I felt with the right training and guidance were good enough.
They said our scouts don’t go out to watch at that level, so they wouldn’t even send anyone. I said just go and have a look, we all started playing local level at some point, trust me on this. But they wouldn’t"
Why am i surprised?

Really interesting to hear his views. He really doesn’t have anything good to say about the pre ALQ’s boards. Nice reminder to some that the club really can only ever belong to the fans.

I agree with Carl, nothing wrong with the supporters of BRFC.

Billy ocean was a big hero of mine.. I always got the impression that as Marcus Stewart was starting to emerge as a big time player, wardy decided to let Carl go as in all probability, he wouldn't have got many games with stewie and John Taylor up front. Was a real shame as he'd have been a good back up and impact player.. I think he went on loan to a few lower div clubs after we released him like Walsall and even Middlesbrough??!! Didn't really do anything and drifted over to Malta to play some mickey mouse football and that was the end of him.. I think they possibly released Boris during the same summer and was pretty much the end of him as well? Two gas legends culled just like that.. I think ward was looking to bring through the youngsters at the time like archer, gurney and maddison etc and decided that the club needed to go in a different direction and get rid of some of the senior players.

Scorer of one of my three favourite BRFC goals. Of those three goals his was technically the best, the other two were "event" goals.

Didn’t realise he wasn’t that enamoured with the nickname ‘Billy Ocean’ that the fans gave him. His nickname at Stoke was ‘Spider’
