Just before I went but that's a shame, single handedly extended to the late 1970s an old NE tradition of a miner coming up from the pit to play for his club. RIP

Fair enough- pass on all our condolences mate. 
 

I’m friends with Ron Guthrie’s daughter, his Blyth team mate in that cup run. 
 

She still utterly despises anything to do with Wrexham

Don’t we all?

 

I certainly do, not reaching my levels of despising the scouse/mancs and marginally below Hereford (dead club hahahahaha) but definitely registers significantly on my despise-ometer.

Shoulder played in the first game I went to v Exeter in the cup, another ignoble exit a few days later in Devon (I wasn’t at that one, double maths etc intervened iirc )

Nee rivalry shite here.

 

RIP Alan Shoulder.

 

Lived the  dream we all had of playing for his club. 

 

Sad, sad day.

 

A good man, and a life well lived.
