Lovely tribute Dave and how fitting that Ollie scored on 73 minutes as the applause for Dave Hodges rang out. As you say, he would have loved it.

Nice tribute Head Dave. I remember Dave Hodges from when I was still doing aways.

Not sure it was a standard 4-4-2 though. BooBoo spends a lot of time operating as the right side of a back three
