Those were Paul's words, not mine!

I often wonder how things would have panned out had he not so tragically passed away Of course. Due deference to our lottery winner who, with his wife, ploughed so much into the club and whose memorial is a magnificent stand. There's no disrespect to Paul Bristow meant there, I knew him well and aft...
