makes a great read. while we're on topic of an all tiem XI, Simon Parsell must be in the top 5 of all time legends to have been involved in the club - top man!

Agreed - Simon's views on previous managers will be shared by many of us.

He's never been the big figure to the fans because he's not a player. But for my entire time supporting the club he's been a man you can associate with nothing else. If anyone is RDFC other than Max it's Simon, his programme notes are a must read and he has stuck with the club no matter what.
Just a heads up, after the strikers vote we will be looking for a manager for the Diamonds so I thought I'd save any debate till then.

Yeah great article, definately one of the legends of Rushden & Diamonds.
I remember one game, not sure if it was last season or the season before, think two players clashed during a tackle, and both physios ran on, Simon ran across, while the other physio arrived about 10 minutes later!!!... Simon was met with cheers from all the Diamonds fans. :lol:
Anyone remember that day?

What a legend and a great read. Should have a burger stand or something named after him!

Agree with all of you, this was an excellent article. I also picked up on the lack of quotes about Garry Hill! Lets not forget that Simon takes on a lot of reponsibilities that go beyond his job requirements as well. He said at the end of the article that he might move on in the future but from a purely selfish point of view I hope he stays at the club for a few years yet and sees a return to league football.

I reckon that's a fantastic idea and I bet he'd love to open the Simon Parsell Burger Bar
