    Some of you may recall a photo I posted on here, some years ago, of when Hecky was the Reds mascot in the 80s. Well, the mascot in the very next home game has just been made Head Coach of the England U21s team. Ben Futcher, son of Paul.

    I'm glad that the photographer understood about exposure length....

    The "photographer" would have either been Paul Futcher or Paul Futcher's wife. Parents would have just given the club a photo for them to use.

    That's a fair point. It's still a rubbish photo though. Paul Futcher's photography skills on a par with his finishing (with the honourable exception of his lob against West Brom).
