Billy Mercer

Has been at the club exactly 10 years today according to the BFC twitter feed.

Surely one of the best in the business. Some incredible achievements.

He and Dean Marney were the only good things to come out of the Laws appointment.

The goalkeeping department has been outstanding. Seems to have a plan in place in terms of players coming through, strength in depth , signings being made to provide competiton and continuity. All sadly lacking in other areas of the team over the last 2 years.

Then the BFC twitter feed has it wrong. Laws was appointed on 13th January as were Russ Wilcox (assistant) and Graham Alexander (player/coach). Stuart Gray & Billy Mercer arrived the week after.

He's put on some weight though, hope he can get healthier again.
