The Ed documents the big Gulls rebuild of 2007
It’s easy to cast an eye back to 2007 at the moment. It was the year after all when supporters took charge of the club and set about restoring pride after some torturous years at Plainmoor. The squad from 2006-07 was in tatters, with only Lee Mansell & Steve Woods ready for a shot at the Conference, so Colin Lee & Paul Buckle had plenty of business to attend to! Let’s look at who they brought in.
