Had the pleasure of a weekend in a Torquay hotel with the pair of them when Capital Gulls put on the Boys of 66 re-union some years back.....
Mike was the racontuer to be the daddy of all racontuers; great fun to be with and the life and soul of the party which included amongst others the incredible Mickey Somers with all his anecdotes of his old Hartlepool boss Brian Clough, wannabee nightclub singer Gerry King, and fellow Welsh crooner Tony Hellin and their wives.
Gary McGuire turned up in his top of the range Bentley; immaculate in his St George's Hill Golf Club blazer and slacks, and every inch the Surrey stockbroker with his elocutioned, clipped upper class English pronounciation. Not at all the Walthamstow kid turned Aussie footballer that Frank O'Farrell brought to the club and then dispensed with due to his continuing weight problem, replacing him with Andy Donnelly from Weymouth.
You could say the East London boy's 'done good'![quote=desperado post_id=226312 time=1527189419 user_id=23992][i][b]Mike Turner - certainly no John Turner, dont think he played many first team games, played a few after Terry Adlingtons career ended at Shrewsbury, before Gary Mcguire who didnt last long after our promotion, another injury perhaps or maybe he went back to Australia, dont remember, but thought he was an excellent keeper[/b][/i][/quote]
