And so it would appear true. Mark Paul has played his last match for Yaxley FC and departed for the new climes of the Jewson league division one, a drop of a level.
Paul has been and gone before so I will hold fire before eulogising too much about him or using him to open the Cuckoos legends section but this time it does feel like he wont be back.
To be fair the Leading Drove faithful will have seen the best of the striker who almost reached 70 goals a couple of seasons ago. Plucked from local football to the Dell and Southampton, Paul had spells down the road at POSH before taking in Bedford, Stamford, Kings Lynn and Wisbech.
He will always be a legend at the club and despite being upset that he has left for lower grade football, I still salute him!!!
To the Vulture Squad, he will forever be “The Great Mark Paul”.
Good luck at Ely.
It is strange to think that our first match without TGMP was the 2-1 over St Neots, a plucky win against the old enemy. It was bad weather and a heavy pitch, typical midwinter action on the edge of the fen.
It is a shame that we couldn’t follow that up with another win at bottom side Kempston but the main consistency in this season has been the inconsistency.
Still wherever we finish, as long as the off field improvements happen the club will have moved forward and that is all you can ask as a fan.
Let’s hope we get back on track for the run in and that the management team have another goalscorer up their sleeves for us to enjoy.
After Lee Clarke, Michael Frew and TGMP the fans expect nothing less!
