Ashley Hoskin

[Leo]

Never mind his offer to bail the club out, I 've just bought an evening mail and upon turning to the back page what do i find facing me? I'll tell you what! A middle aged bald bloke hands thrust deep into his coat pocket on a bitterly cold january night wearing football boots, football socks and football shorts!!
hanging out of these shorts are a pair of what can only be described as stumpy, flabby little white legs!!
To be fair to him he's not the only past it ex football manager/coach who dresses in this manner, but for the love of god, why do they do this??
AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!

Strangest post I've seen on this forum in a while, and I've been following 1AFC!!

If this gesture is true then it really is extraordinary and reminds me in these dificult times why I will always prefer to watch Barrow and this level of football to Premier League, no matter how bad we are. If it is a genuine offer everyone in top-flight football should be made to hear about it and reminded how the true soul of football can still be found sometimes,and usually amongst the down and outs of the lower professional levels.

Well said.

I wonder how much the footballing millionaires of the Premier League really care about the game? Second thoughts, I know the answer.

Ashley Hoskin is a diamond for this.

what a queer post!
but in fairness to you, nobody has acually answered your question, i think coaches / managers dress like that to try to show unity, all for one and all that.
to be fair, having only 13 players, they have to be a tight nit group as they must all know each other pretty well. i just hope they show some commaradory on the field and get the might afc out of this pit!!

Your question was "why do they do this?"

Have you not noticed many posties wearing shorts all year irrespective of the weather?

I don't think AH is a postman but he may be envious of their shorts.

I don't know why your ilk would envy him unless he has bigger antlers and a shinier nose.

[corkitfatso1]

Its either a Bayliss moment or Hoskin did say it, now whether if pushed came to shove and he was asked to pay it i doubt he would, he has probably said it in jest, 'Yeah Bayles, i will [SwearFilter] pay it' (course you will Hoskin)

[Richard Ingham]

Hoskin was a tyre fitter wasnt he when we played Wigan and the telly did that "Phil Collins lookalike" interview with him?

Is that on Youtube anywhere btw?

Ashley helped run his father's scrapyard business until he had a serious hand accident.
He now helps his wife run a fresh farm & dairy stall on Accrington Market.

Errmm... ok hadrian, thanks for your efforts in replying to me. But, i think your getting confused by the word "ilk" when i said people of my ilk, this statement means people like me!!
your getting confused with "elk" which is a large red north american dear!!
it makesthe last line of your post ridiculous!!

you could be correct, if hoskins sells a few yoghurts on a market stall then i seriously doubt he could bail afc out of this mess!!
