Love the quiz question but a bit before my time I think. Was it Lee Joinson’s last game for the club? I remember Paul played on for a bit longer so bit of a stab in the dark.

That quiz question- hands up if you were there 🖐🖐

Must have been but can't remember anything.

And a vain attempt to join in Westy and Andy’s punk / post-punk game...

Attempted mustache?

Attempted mustache?

Indeed.

Just looked up Lee's playing career. It wasn't that.
I'm stumped.

Whilst looking in the archives section for Lee's info I noted that Mark Penn finished in 1964 and Geoff Moss in 1972.

Christ alive don't say that. I'm absolutely sure they play a wonderful quick tempo passing game with a Messi type finisher. Don't burst my bubble just yet......

Oh, and that Quiz of the Day:

Rob scored his only goal in the 3-0 win at Alvechurch on 31/10/1990. But what else was notable for the Yeltz in that game??

No idea of the quiz question answer but just look at those attendances! 1017 for a League Cup game
Them's were the days.

Definitely punk. None of yer post-punk nonsense. One third of the Holy Trinity of Punk we're talkin' about here.
