Robespierre were you at the Gate centenary in the 80s where he played. A few years past his best but that step was still there.
Yes, I was! Didn’t Peter Wheeler get an all-star side together that day?
He did Graham Price as I remember. I spoke to Mick Bucknell before and he wasn’t happy

My Grandad did physio on him before that game, what an unbelievable player he was and a terrific guy he was too. I only have vague memories of that day but I was there a I used to play for Stoneygate's younger side back then and my Grandad was the physio to Gate's first team.
