On the Terras Forum, there has been some discussion on the greatest ever Weymouth manager.
I would have been surprised if they'd had a greater manager than Frank O'Farrell and they haven't.
One poster suggested that Weymouth let Frank go as he could no longer play and so he was a free agent when he came to Torquay. That did not sound right to me and a few people have corrected that to what I thought happened - we approached Weymouth and they did not stand in his way.
One interesting point is that Frank was on the verge of the sack in his first season at Weymouth - one game away from the chop according to a few.
What a good decision Weymouth's Board made in backing their judgment on a young manager who was oing about his job in the correct manner and not bowing to fan pressure!
