For a few games under his tenure we actually played some decent football. I particularly remember a great performance at Stockport.
But then, of course, other factors started to come into play and the rest is history, as they say.
Best wishes to him for a complete and swift recovery.

Sad to hear and wish him well. I liked him, one of several managers things could have worked out differently for had things been a bit more normal behind the scenes.

Best wishes Bobbie.
I would write him letters after particularly poor performances. One in particular was the 5-2 defeat at Morecambe in which Michael Twiss gave James Vaughan a particularly torrid time. He often phoned me up and explained his reasoning behind some of his tactics. I suppose the real reason was the players weren't getting paid and he was under orders to play the Vaughan brothers whether he wanted to or not.

I suppose the real reason was the players weren't getting paid and he was under orders to play the Vaughan brothers whether he wanted to or not. That was a bizarre game from memory. Morecambe scored from 4 corners all taken by Twiss (whilst receiving bizarre abuse from a section of our fans) in the first half which also saw James Vaughan refuse to get up and gesturing at our end after going down with an injury. Think he possibly tried to sub himself off as well. Holroyd had a cracking 2nd half for us and I think he scored twice (him or Ellison anyway) and hit the bar. Had we played 5 more mins we may have even clawed a 5-5 draw out of it. Good luck to Bobby in his battle. Defo another manager who looked to have us on the verge of a special season before circumstances took over. Brilliant wins at Stockport (Ritchie Partridge!!!) and Lincoln on a Friday (when the game finished at gone 10.30pm) stand out but I remember an exciting home win v Shrewsbury on a Sunday being a good performance.

Yeah that was a bizarre game, we dominated second half. Holroyd was on fire.
The chippy just round the corner from the ground was top notch as well

I think they were two separate games at Morecambe you're talking about. We had some miserable times at Christie Park!

Well there was also certainly the trip in the FA Cup 2nd round when they beat us and had a firework display to celebrate! Not sure which game saw Vaughan snr allegedly punch one of their directors. Any ideas?

We lost 3-2 and they were managed by the scumbag Harvey. We had a striker called Ryan Sugden, who was on fire at the time, but one of their players got him sent off and I don't think he played for us again.

The Curle & Williamson seasons were quite similar. Strong start playing good football, and then, an alarming slide down the table that left us worrying about relegation.

Think they were different matches. I was at the 5-2 match but wasn't at the James Vaughan strop match I'm sure they were the same game. Was it not Boxing Day? I only went to Christie Park the once and I'm sure JV threw a strop and we conceded 4 from consecutive corners in the same game. Holroyd and Ellison were both unplayable in the second half.

I reckon it was the same game tbh. The 5-3 game was certainly the match with Twiss' corners and Ellison/Holyroyd. I'm pretty sure Vaughan threw his strop that afternoon but I stand to be corrected if it was the season after.

Yes they were different seasons.
The away fans in the end we were defending started chanting derogatory remarks about his father when James Vaughan was defending in our penalty area. After glaring at us a couple of times he lay down in the penalty area when there was no-one near him and we were in their half attacking. The trainer came on and JV just got up, ran off the pitch and straight down the tunnel to derisory cheers from us, without a second glance at Mark Wright who put a sub on.
If memory serves right it was after about 15-20 minutes.
