Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: RAY ASHBY RECEIVES GB CAP
I spoke with him when he received it and he was like a kid in a sweet shop. Ray’s a great person and it was long overdue.
Ray played twice for his country, the rules at that time were that a player had to play twice for his country in one season to receive a cap. Unfortunately, his appearances were in consecutive seasons. A right has been wronged. Well done the Past Players Association (in particular Keith Such) who have really fought for this.
