I remember him playing in midfield for us on the opening game of 2005-06 away at Stockport as player manager?. He was magnificent during the first half that day, he ran the show as we raced into a 2-0 lead. It's hard to think of a better midfield display since that day. Did he get injured and not play much after this?georgefostersbeard wrote:A man who took a shot of brandy before he played to calm his nerves and who claimed that he played worse when he stopped drinking!

Think we lost 2-0 and resigned straight after the game, the scenes when fans realised were brilliant, cracking day

That's why he has recruited Matt Chatfield (AFC Mansfield) and Jas Colliver (former Handsworth, Staveley, Clipstone and Sheffield FC manager) as his coaches.
Grantham chairman Darren Ashton said he is delighted to appoint such a recognisable name, and is looking forward to the future. The chairman also claimed that Carlton Palmer has turned down professional jobs in the Football League to join the semi-pro Lincolnshire side. Ashton said: “It’s fantastic news. We’ve been working on getting Carlton in for a while now and been in constant contact with him almost daily. He’s eager to get started with us. He’s been offered roles at Football League clubs, but he likes the idea that the club has. He likes what we have proposed, and we like his ideas he has moving forward and has bought into the plan and is joining for the long-term*.”

Alarm bells should be going off in Grantham.
Why is a Sheffield business man interested in Grantham? I don't think Grantham own their ground though. Is it owned by the Council?
What are the odds on Keith Curle turning up there in the future?
