Westy is a man who appreciates a good cuppa. Always the trait of a gentleman.

Let's be honest, everybody wants their daughter to marry Westy.

Can you tell us what brand of tea Westy drinks? Pretty please.

Uuuuuhhhk. What a bounder. Pretends to be a proper tea drinker but secretly drinks awful tea. Yuk.

Lock up your daughters, decent people of the world.

I’ll ask the question but I’m guessing it’ll be something like Lipton Breakfast tea over there!

I’m the son of a former claret too not that I particularly have any links or connections with the club these days apart from my ST.

My cousin Aron blazed his own path and was a v good schoolboy keeper but never made the grade.

He’s just done this podcast which is interesting;

Ref. The clubs finances, it’s all about where we are in a couple of years time, that’s what has been invested in and considering the income of late (boosted by the group of minor investors (roughly 20 x £7m)) there’s more in the tank if required. (🤞🏻)

Thanks Holty! :D

If Westy is struggling we could maybe set up a gofundme for him and arrange to have bags of his chosen brew sent over. ;)

Not any ex-claret but David Holt one my early heroes, in a team of heroes, as a child. Was watching him his Oldham days just the other day.

He was very lucky through his career to play in particularly good teams at Bury, Oldham and Burnley.

I’ve recently been reunited with his div three winning Burnley shirt, now a family heirloom I’m having framed for my son.
