The Return of The King?

Seventies legendary centre forward Eric Redrobe is to return to Edgar Street as a guest of "The Forum" for their sponsorship game against Bury on Saturday March 22nd.

Redrobe joined The Bulls in October 1972 when signed from Southport by then Manager Colin Addison. He made his debut in the home 2-0 defeat of Northampton Town on 21st of that month. Although not finding the net, Redrobe immediately impressed the fans on that day with his "all action" display. Eric only had to wait a few days before opening his goal scoring account for The Bulls in a Wednesday evening win over Mansfield when he notched the second of three goals scored on the night. His somewhat robust approach made him a firm favourite with the Edgar Street crowd while the Meadowend choir were often heard to be singing endless renditions of "Redrobe Redrobe, Redrobe Redrobe, born is the King of Edgar Street".

Anyone who would like to join the Forum Sponsored day should contact Chris Powis at Cpowis001@aol.com. The cost is £50 to include pre-match hospitality with buffet lunch and half-time refreshments. Also included along with your Grandstand seat is a complimentary copy of the Matchday programme, credits in the programme with a mention over the PA system, acknowledgement on the electric scoreboard, before the game and at half-time and a framed photograph of the group on the pitch as a memento of the occasion.
Confirmation of bookings and payment in full is required by the 8th March.
