Ready for Thursday training!

Welcome to both. Good luck and fingers crossed. Does feel a bit weird after so long but coooommmmmme on you Yeltz

Rob Smith made 7 starting appearances as a Yeltz player in seasons 1989-90 and 1990-91, scoring 1 goal. (stay with this for a quiz question at the end). His full playing record is as follows:

1989-90: 2 Cup appearances

23th Jan 1990: Westgate Insurance Cup: Halesowen Town 1 Redditch United 1, attendance 1017. (No.9 shirt)
30th Jan 1990: Westgate Insurance Cup: Redditch United 1 Halesowen Town 0, attendance 415. (No.6 shirt)

Rob was also named as substitute on 7 occasions, the first one being on Tuesday 10th October against Hednesford Town at home (1-1, attendance 883)

1990-91: 2 League appearances; 3 Cup appearances; 1 goal

Rob’s goal came in the 3-0 win at Alvechurch on 31st October.

4th Sept 1990: FLC: Halesowen Town 3 Rushden Town 0, attendance 858. (No.9 shirt)
8th Sept 1990: Southern League Premier: Halesowen Town 1 Wealdstone 0, attendance 1380. (No.9 shirt)
12th Sept 1990: Southern League Premier: Atherstone Utd 2 Halesowen Town 0, attendance 738. (No.9 shirt)
2nd Oct 1990: Worcs. Senior Cup: Halesowen Town 2 Alvechurch 0, attendance 642. (No.8 shirt)
31st Oct 1990: Larchimage Windows Cup: Alvechurch 0 Halesowen Town 3, attendance 372. (No.8 shirt)

Rob was also named as substitute on 8 occasions, the last one being on Monday 12th November against Walsall at home in the Birmingham Senior Cup (1-2, attendance 826).

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??

8th Sept 1990: Southern League Premier: Halesowen Town 1 Wealdstone 0, attendance 1380. (No.9 shirt)

If my memory serves me well Rob got some dreadful stick from a physical opposition team who had a man sent off. Leroy Hemans also went for an early bath as well. However the statisticians amongst us or those with better memories may disagree.

I can remember him as a player, slight, midfielder (we were still playing the no 9 shirt in midfield as a hangover from “Sir” Johnny Woodhouse) and a terrible attempted moustache.
I suspect there’s a picture in the 1990/91 preseason line up if someone can dig it out.

And the quiz - was it the first lineup that didn’t contain a Yeltzman who’d played at Wembley? (Although I suspect that was actually much later).

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