Keep the nostalgia coming, Colston. I was at his testimonial and at the end, when Aaron, Macca & Corbs stood together, the guy next to me said "We won't see THAT many appearances from three players ever again."

Links broken for me
Andy was ever reliable but I remember he was one of those players, if the team wasn't doing very well blame Andy from some, if you know what I mean?
He was a great servant to the club and we were lucky to have him for so many seasons.

He'd been premier League if he wasn't colour blind. Only joking. Great player for us, always gave 100%.

Corbs is very much an unsung legend at the club in my view.
I’d place him comfortably alongside Stridey and Webbo in those great seasons.
Not many players last 10 years at a football club these days.
His career spanned Eton Park, the Conference years at the Pirelli and was good enough to play 4 seasons and over 100 games in the EFL.
Tremendously fit lad, fearless in the challenge, never injured, never suspended, visibly always giving 100% and more than a half decent footballer. Nice piece Colston.

Mrs BIR read their notes and it was Chris they were checking out. |

One of my all time favourite players, 100% BAFC and a gent to match. As mentioned a better player than some gave him credit for.

Thanks, just read that article.
Yes I remember the moans and groans as mentioned sometimes when Andy didn't quite hit it off with some sections of the crowd. I'd say he was an underrated player, ever reliable and it seemed always on that team sheet, a shock when he wasn't TBH.

Apologies for the broken link, big thanks to Ian for posting one that worked and I've fixed the first one now. Bloody technology.

If we could find a couple more like him, I’d be very happy.
