It's amazing what can be dragged up from the archives! The picture below from 2001 was on the back page of the Stroud News & Journal at the time. It shows a Stanley derby match with our manager Wayne Bown playing as an attacker for our deadly rivals! - as a crowd of Mike Tomkins and Nev Gardner try to contain their excitement. The Stroud League Div 1 game finished at 1-1. Who the ageing defender in the twilight of his playing days was, remains a mystery.
