On a freezing cold afternoon, I bumped into 2 former Gulls at Southport, prior to Torquay's FA Trophy fixture......and a "father and son" pairing to boot!!
Step forward CLIFF & CHRIS MYERS.
For those of you "not in the know", here's a brief run down on the pair for you.
CLIFF MYERS
Born on 23/09/46 in Southwark, the former Charlton Athletic midfielder joined Malcolm Musgrove's Torquay side from Yeovil Town in 1973.
Leaving for Salisbury in 1975, he made a total of 94 appearances, netting 12 goals in the process.
Now living in Lindos, and runs a bar called "The Sunburnt Arms."
CHRIS MYERS
Born 01/04/69 in Yeovil, Chris - also a midfielder - made 135 appearances and scored 8 goals in his 3 spells at Plainmoor.
Also played for Dundee United.
Now living in the Southport area and is training to become a fireman.....although would still like to be involved in football management after a 5 year spell in charge at Dawlish Town.
AT A CHILLY HAIG AVENUE, CLIFF AND CHRIS POSE FOR THE FORUM.
3 GENERATIONS OF MYERS!
AS CHRIS HAD REQUESTED, I TOOK A PHOTO OF HIM WITH HIS DAD AND HIS SON.
WHO KNOWS, PERHAPS CHRIS'S BOY WILL TURN OUT FOR THE GULLS IN THE FUTURE!!
FOOTNOTE:
Chris - you said you looked on the Torquay Forums from time to time.
If you do manage to view this thread, I hope you like the pictures mate!!
