Not quite sure what happened with Louth in the summer, he was building a decent team and then out of the blue most of the squad seemed to leave.
So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

Pure quality when he won us the Conference title all those years ago...and then we let him go for zilch! Could have been a potential £1M striker but did the rounds at Conference/League 2 level and never gave himself the chance to prove himself as a Championship player. He HAS still got it though! A little surprised he's not re-joined Pilgrims for a 3rd spell. :bunny

He was a striker who couldn't cut it at Football League level.

Why would we need him here?

I thought he looked washed up when he came back for his second stint with us about 8 years ago, slow, over weight and another failed McFraud ego trip on the road to near oblivion.

He's probably punching above his weight at FC.

Is Gary Bull still playing? He and Clare certainly could make for an experienced strike partnership.

(I did try looking at their official site to see what other players are there, but gave up as soon as I realised they still had Dunn and Hocking listed as their managers).

Yep. Looking at the Boston Town site, it is no way as good as Boston United's Official Site - thanks to the efforts that Craig goes to. I cannot understand why MOST clubs allow there websites to become out of date with useless information. Pure laziness and poor administration? Town still have Stoner registered as a Striker - I thought he'd been released through injury! :bunny

With the Southport game coming up on Saturday I can't help but think of Daryl Clare.

He was class, quality, a natural goal scorer and a match winner. We should never forget that.

I imagine paying someone to keep a website going is a luxury many can't afford. Most probably rely on volunteers or someone else within the club.

Shouldn't have to PAY someone to keep a simple website up-to-date! Surely they must be a supporter who can update for free? I dunno - people want paying for everything! So much for Cameron's Big Society!!!!

£1m for Daryl Clare? Are you mental?

I have to agree with LPRA. Had we sold Daryl Clare at the time it wouldn't have been for £1m. It would have been for an [UNDISCLOSED] six or seven or eight figure sum.
