A very big thank you to Leigh who has had to work so hard to do these pages and also the ones for our matchday programme pages for our next home game this coming Tuesday. I got lucky when you stepped forward Leigh so many thanks from me for all your hard work you do for the TFF Dave   |

Call me sad, but i'm loving the fact that some bit-part supporter from Leicester (albeit a truly devoted Gulls fan) can make his mark in the programme. What a club! Makes me think my career in warehousing is wasted...

Unfortunately the 'Magpies' story, which I gleaned from Alec Adrian's book, wasn't headed correctly, a gremlin at the printers again methinks.
Although all the words are there in the programme it isn't set out as I sent it so doesn't really make sense. It should be as follows:
Former Plainmoor pre-war Amateur Alexander ‘Alec’ Adrian.
(From his autobiography ‘Dunkirk Sportsmen’ published in the early 1940’s.)
“The Magpies”
The road to football fame may be long: but if young footballers have the ability they can make the grade, and they will get many a helping hand en-route.
I can remember that when I was nearly nineteen years old, I put in some football training at the Plainmoor ground of the Devon professional club, Torquay United A.F.C. (English League Division Three, English Cup, Southern League, Western League, Devon Professional Competition)
It was in season 1931/32 and it is a memory I can always look back on with pleasure and delight.
Etc, etc.....
