      Nuneaton, was that a home game ? …..Tony Kelly left us (for the first time) towards the end of the 85/86 season and we certainly blew a great promotion chance the season after we’d won
      The Freight Rover at Wembley the previous June
      5th April 1986 we lost at home to Doncaster 0-1……Whether that was the game he missed the Penalty or not I can’t be certain …..I’m sure he was shipped out immediately afterwards as there was obviously something going on behind the scenes with other players and/or the Manager. The old transfer deadline was in March but I think someone covered earlier that this transfer was somehow fiddled after the deadline.
      Any road over 30 years and about ‘five stones’ ago for me so can’t be exact about everything…..he was still a blinder though !

      I’m with you zeb I’m sure he went after the deadline and we didn’t pick up too many points after. I think we missed out to Derby but I maybe wrong Donny was away I think.

        He was a superb player and always enjoyed watching him. If I remember right he had a serious alcohol and gambling problem, Alex Cribley helped him out of it.

        Away a lot, but always watching
