Regarding Dunk, I think he falls into the one club player category and clubs are put off by this as they see them as hard to change so do we take a chance.
He would grace any team but like you say he is invaluable to us.
Done.
Yes, changing society, when I look back to football in the 70s (which I believe was the worst era for discrimination, etc ) it was toxic in the stadiums and everything was considered banter compared to today, we are heading in the right direction hopefully but it is a work in progress imo.
Agree, who cares if he did 200mtres or 20 miles he has used his public profile for a good cause and helped raise a lot of money, not only that but raised awareness of this disease which is the main objective.

Found this rather interesting.
Very good point re Solly and one we fans sometimes forget. Most players would seriously consider retiring after two cruciate operations, the fact he battled on with no fuss and just got on with it speaks volumes for his character and resilience not to mention his fitness.
Yes, the chippy was good and the owners were sorry to see us go.
I believe the dislike was something regarding the rent we paid when coming to the end of our tenancy...I think?
