Gilliver's Travels
Peripatetic
Anyone else catch the piece last night on Channel 4 News? I only caught the end of it, but they interviewed Allan Gilliver (Albion forward 1969-70, 57 appearances, 19 goals) who is now apparently suffering with dementia. Last I heard of him was a few years back, as groundsman at Rotherham .United, his home town club.
He seemed fairly bright on camera, but obviously resigned to what now lay ahead. Always sad to hear of yet another former player slipping down that sad old road... Later in the programme they featured the newly enriched, multi-millionaire players of Leicester City. How things change.
