Fingers crossed, perhaps the reason why he's not had a run is down to the possibility of him serving a sentence ???
Expecting a fine a suspended sentence and community work. No tag
When do we hear about the verdict?
I once nearly stood crown court trial for gbh with intent and affray. Was told looking at 3 years if found guilty. We all pleaded guilty to affray and they quashed the gbh with intent charge. I was innocent but pleaded guilty as the offer was for all to plead guilty or we go to trial.
Spent a weekend in Cardiff prison whilst the judge made his mind up (apparently this is a shock tactic to people who prison wouldn’t serve them any benefit ie I had never been in trouble before, and had a decent job and a mortgage) then I had a 700 quid fine and 240 hours community service.
Community service was decent I went with the local boys club and helped train the kids, mow the pitch, referees a game. It was so enjoyable I was gutted when my hours were over.
I think cause he was the first (Croft) they (football league) looked into it and deemed it safe. They ain't very big. No bigger n them old shin pads with the ankle bits on them. The ones that Gary crisps used to sponsor . Cant recall the name of the boots he used to wear. Quazar or summit.
So no one knows what happened to Tomlin then?
I remember a few years ago drinking in the Carpenter's Arms, Rumney hill. It was Summer time and there was a guy stood at the bar wearing shorts and a clearly visible tag. It was like a badge of honour to him. I'd be ashamed to walk around my neighbourhood with that showing.
Ya, Charlie went down after he joined us.
He got done for a fight in a chip shop, defending his mate who was getting racially abused.
As I was with the Supporters Club at the time, I wrote to Charlie in jail. fair do's to the fella, he never ever forgot that and always looked after me & my family, in his time here.
Still got is letter of reply somewhere.
