Caption Competition - Michael Appleton edition...

[222Mark]

I signed what contract last night when I was pissed?

"Eleven games and I can interview to be Aston Villa's janitor..."

Also slightly unrelated but, I once had the chance to chat to Mickey Elwiss whilst delivering milk into the dairy at Woodplumpton, he said that Michael Appleton was one of the best box to box midfielders that he had ever played with, could have been just because they were mates but he seemed genuine.

Elwiss played with Appleton? quite an age gap after Elwiss retired from the pro game?

Post #36 - I was expecting more of a reaction though TBH

Nobbers loving this!

Perhaps they need reminding about Agent Appleton and his trusted ally, Mr. Eyres?
Brilliant work, Norf. Mr.Westley awards you one of his medals.

See post 52, I used to take milk into the family dairy, I was always late and he would give me a bollocking, but when he calmed down he was a really good bloke and was happy to talk PNE.
I guess that it must be 20 years or more ago and I was a fan of Appy’s that’s why it sticks in my mind.

He was one of my favourite players and always thought he should have been one of the first names on the sheet. That said he still played 122 games for us; far more than any club in his career. Always comes over well.

They weren’t different eras Chorley…

Appleton played for us from 1997 to 2001 and Gregan played for us from 1997 to 2002

What about Mike Elwiss though?

If it helps, Elwiss signed for PNE in 1974, Appleton was born in 1975. So could be a link, if one of Elwiss's Goals lead to the great night of passion that released the Sperm that created Appleton.

Nah probably not 🤣🤣🤣
