Nathan Delfouneso scores a (very) rare goal for Bolton.

Going to be better than Drogba when he gets his act together.

Out for a walk with the current squeeze at the weekend and Stan Petrov jogged past - had my Villa jacket so he waved and said hello. Great to see him in fine fettle.

"Current squeeze". Don't hold out much hope for this relationship.

Alex Cropley just been diagnosed with dementia. 

Had the pleasure of seeing him play in both Hibs green and white and Villas claret and blue.

Spent the latter years driving a black cab around Edinburgh. A different era from the prima donnas of the modern game!

Fantastic player and wish him and his family all the best.

Ex villan James Collins (the younger) with another hat trick for Luton.

He's had a decent career around the lower leagues.

Aye, has done well in these leagues.

Was with Hibs for a season but seemed to struggle and never a fans favourite. Pleased for him since he left.

Is that McGinn who scored for you today related to John?

He is. They're brothers.

He's got another brother called Stephen I think, I'm sure he plays for St Mirren.

Stephen and Paul both play for Hibs. Stephen is centre mid and Paul right back.  They ( and John)  have all scored for St Mirren and Hibernian. Don't know of any other set of three brothers to all score for 2 clubs?

......"we've got Mcginns"......

That's it. I knew St. Mirren came into it somewhere.

Get them in at the Villa, see if they can't make it 3 🙂

Unfortunately a step up in level would be too much especially for Stephen. Paul is turning out to be a cracking right back for us but pace wise would not cope with some of the flyers in the English Premier League.................neither have the SJM arse shield and turn either  🤣
