Gaston Little ToB Hamilton Gold Allan Dow Balde McKenna Shanks Are the only ones who I’m confident of - would the other 3 be Hilson, Stewart and Hetherington? Pretty sure Jacobs was only a one year deal Edited May 17, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Re Bobby Linn. I noticed last night that Wullie Gibson is still playing for Annan. At nearly 39 he still looked as fit as a fiddle and giving 100% as usual. Really hope Linn changes his mind and gives us one last season. He could then continue in the juniors for a season or two after. Having said that, after the way he was treated, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just thinks “feck it, I'm off to play every week, turn defenders inside oot at will and enjoy myself without the pressure”. The best of the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is genuinely probably the biggest club legend I’ll ever see in my lifetime. What a player and what a guy, the fact he’s a local laddie too makes it better for some reason. Hero Cracking player on his day, could easy still play League 1 or 2 week in week out. Noticed Dougie Cameron and Johnny Smart are at lochee now so can see him going their as he is good mates with Smart and all would have played at East Fife together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hopefully Sir Bobby Linn will sign for another season - he can still bring his magic to turn a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We've bounced about the same league as Arbroath for the best part of five or six years and he's always been a player who you knew could be absolutely unplayable. He's probably been the most recognised part time player in the country for a good while. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Thanks for all the memories, the best player I have seen in Arbroath shirt bar none. His phone will be red hot even at his age which sums him up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Ultimately, who can blame him? It was made very apparent that the management thought Deri Corfe (or the bench) was a better option than he was, even though he had been by far our biggest threat early in the season. Why would he want to stay after that treatment. He’ll be able to enjoy the rest of his career in the juniors without the pressure - play every week and tie full backs in knots.
