THE Torquay United match-day programme for tomorrow’s crucial visit of Dagenham & Redbridge includes exclusive interviews with Jake Gosling and Ryan Clarke.
Our series to find the Greatest Gulls in each position reaches number seven and we meet a great goalkeeper from Leroy’s team, the centre-back who doubled up as a Country and Western musician, and our first ever player-manager.
Also on the greatest list this week is a Scottish striker blessed with immense talent, the Irish midfielder who lit up Plainmoor with some of the greatest goals of the past decade, arguably the best left-foot the club has ever seen and an entertaining winger
Your programme also includes five pages of insight on our visitors from Dagenham & Redbridge, match action from a happy week, National League news, youth news, ladies match report, Brett Williams picks his top five and a whole lot more.
