He gives me loads of stick about my scruffy appearance and quite often asks if I've wasted my weekend running up a f**king mountain, he just doesn't get it. He's well into fishing, which I don't get.....and he still plays five a side.
Not sure if he played for Morecambe in his younger days, that would be before the 'wreckage of Colne Dynamos' as it puts it in the article. About 25 years ago Chalkie White, a business man from Colne launched a money no object project to get Dynamos into the League, they seemed to sign everyone in sight to full time contracts including European Cup winner Alan Kennedy, won a couple of promotions in the lower leagues but when they got as far as the Conference it all went tits up, the money ran out, the team folded and Chalkie disappeared.

Ask Dave about those days and if he knows what happened to Chalkie
