  • David Beckham visits Wathnail
    2022/07/22
    The Beckham’s visit to Wathnail was the biggest thing that has happened to this club since that fateful moment when in the dying minutes of the 1969 season Bobby Slade slipped the ball past Villa goalie John Dunn to secure promotion to the old first division. That was without doubt the happiest moment of my life, but this, this visit from not just one superstar but two, almost, almost, equalled it. What a pleasure to see David and Victoria and their young son Romeo (well not so much the lad if I’m honest).David naturally arrived in the style you’d expect of him, no Premiership Aston rep-mobile Martin for David, no, he roll’s up in a 55 Studebaker convertible, midnight blue with white wall tyres. The both of them, they have that ability to show off wealth with effortless ease, how it should be done (unlike Alan Sugar and his pimp-mobile Rolls, they are like royalty in that respect, never vulgar, always classy.Now the whole town realises full well that they would never have come here apart from the TV programme that David was involved in but that did nothing to dampen the genuine warmth the town showed our golden couple. Local schools declared a half-day holiday, folk from all around lined the route and cheered for all their worth.David took a real interest in the club, so eager to get out onto our pitch and rifle a penalty passed yours truly. Afterward they both them met with local dignitaries, club staff, players and their families for a luxury buffet in the club bar. Although, for reasons I’d rather not divulge I did regrettably have miss the buffet. I did hear however, on the grapevine, that although all our lot’s WAG’S tried desperately to outshine Vicky, she easily saw off the opposition without ever needing to get out of even first gear, well done lass!In all they spent nearly two hours at the club. A large photograph of myself sandwiched between the pair of them mounted in a nice gold frame now has pride of place on my desk, alongside the one of me and Bobby on a victory lap around Villa Park that day in 69.

    Love can strike in the most unlikely of circumstances, and so it was for Wathnail Rovers acting club chairman Brian Buttle when on a recent business trip to the Italian Dolomites. Brian went to Italy with the sole intention of securing the return of former club manager Luigi Lambrini, little did he expect that what he’d actually find was love.....amoure. A chance overnight stay in the Hotel Pirlo situated adjacent to the town piazza is where he met her, Isadora, a woman who was to re-light the flame within him, a flame he’d imagined long extinguished. Brian returned home completely smitten and with a steely determination that he and his new love should start a new life together. However there was one major obstacle to his dream in the formidable shape of Mrs Buttle. A divorce would be messy and ultimately he knew very costly for him, but he had to do something, he couldn’t just let her go. Lambrini Returns! Good cheer for all Wathnail fans, OK so it’s not actually Luigi who is coming back to Rovers as club manager but his twin brother Carlo. We here at Wathnail are all convinced that Carlo can emulate the success that his brother enjoyed at his short stint at the club when we actually made the League Two play offs. Carlo’s immediate aim is to go one better and to guide the club to automatic promotion in his first year, we of course all wish him well in his quest and here’s hoping Carlo!
