That's the lot answered correctly

That's the lot answered correctly

While I know it's not an answer to a question set, I was surprised to find out that Jay Bothroyd turned out for Coventry in 2003 against us in the FA cup and scored the final goal in the replay. If memory serves me right, we battered them in the replay but lost 3-0.

Cold showers? That's the sort of thing you would have expected from Wimbledon.

That rings a bell. The club denied any wrong doing, of course.....

Interesting that the article was written by Grahame Lloyd. In fact, he wrote a number of these small reports for the Guardian on both Cardiff and Swansea. At the time he was also commentating (very badly) on Real Radio. I suspect he covered this FA cup tie for RR as there are other games I remember him covering on radio that I've spotted he's written about for the Grauniad. As a newspaper, why send someone else to a game when one of your own is broadcasting it live and can write a few words afterwards? I find it slightly strange as I can't say I've really come across newspaper reports written by someone actually commentating on the game.

I've not heard or seen Grahame Lloyd recently on the BBC I don't believe. Like you, I was no fan of his commentary, but quite enjoyed a couple of his books - just been looking at his Twitter page, he doesn't appear to be much of a fan of the UK Government.

I remember that goal vividly, Bothroyd on the break running clear of our defence.
I think I watched it at the Claude

Yes, I remember it well, just never remembered that it was Bothroyd.
