This Week’s Memory Lane With Stephen Hodgson

At the end of the 2022/23 season, our club historian Norman Angell stood down from his role. Before he did, he handed the reigns over to our new club historian Stephen Hodgson. Each week, Stephen will delve into the club’s history books to provide a trip down memory lane from 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Do you feature this week?
