Robbie McKenzie appreciation tweet on a Sunday:

TheGillsFC lge record so far is W9 D2 L8 - win % of 47.4 (projected as 70 pts over a season)

When Robbie plays it's W7 D1 L4 - win % of 58.3 (an 84 pt season)

I know it's not all about 1 player but we do better with him.

Colin 'Paddy' Powell was guest at the Gills on Saturday - I got him to sign my programme, for old times' sake. I used to ask pre-match back when i was a pre-teen in the old GRS. An extensive trawl in the grand programme collection revealed that, in fact, the last time I had asked was 42 yrs ago! 😳

Today it's 12 years since Dad left us, far too soon (throat cancer). A Gillingham fan for 60 years and the reason i am a fan - I still find myself reaching for the phone to call him for his reaction to a performance/result and have to 'whoa-pause-reset'. UTG
