An oldie, but a goldie, it appears the old thread died when the forum went Pete Tong, so I’ve revived it and Toby Lock has got us off to a cracking start.......something a bit ironic about this one.

After holding a poll on Twitter last week, fans could not be separated on what they would like to see to mark Lewie's career. Though the skipper himself was against retiting his number, 17.5 per cent of voters picked the choice.

"The former boats over 500 professional appearances and is currently MK Dons top goalscorer this season."

That's really bad, how could that have slipped past management? Surely someone has to ok these things?

And I've also received the advertising "poster" version of it via email now too, where the typo is still there but even more glaringly obvious. Gobsmacked.
