Rob Kelly is back in the Football League... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55295526
I'm 2 days younger than Rob Kelly.

I once went on a school trip to Filbert St. The old boy showing us around introduced us to a young blonde lad who was strolling by the tunnel. He told us he was one of the youth team & maybe we'd all be cheering him in a couple of years.

My 16 year old self looked at the 16 year old Rob Kelly & thought "I'd ****ing kill to be you"

Almost 40 years later, I still probably would. I'd swap picking a team for Barrow next week for pretty much any of the shit I've got lined up.
 
They have a smashing bunch of lads who don't live anywhere near Barrow. Their training ground is 100+ miles from their home ground. They found it difficult to sign players because no one wanted to live there, so they only go to the town on matchday.
surprised more clubs don't do that tbf especially in non-league

I wondered if that was some of the thinking with the hotel at our new training ground. Give them a luxury hotel to stay at while still letting people live primarily in London/Manchester areas?
