Sounds like he's running out of ideas. Here's one for Mero and anyone who was around during baby bombers mk1

This guy played for 4 clubs all up. He shares the same surname as a Bomber coach and legend. Some would label him the Mark Mercuri of the 70's. Bagged 10 goals in a game.

Just a little joke to highlight Gumbleton's strong points.

Its that hard to resist starting a thread on the big fella....but have to keep a lid on it....

Yes there is- he played a couple of years for the Dons in the late 70's- would have taught the young bombers a few tricks too. He played in one flag at his first club.

I went to my first game in 78 when I was 8 and don't remember his name.
But who remembers anything at that age...I did like Ken Fletcher at the time though
