Hersham’s answer to Joe Wicks-‘PTPompei’

During this time of isolation and lockdown, there is really truly little to get excited about in terms of events. I feel because of this, many of us have been able to appreciate the simpler things in life such as exercise. Many people (including myself) have if anything been able to exercise more as we feel we need to have more of a routine. Joe Wicks has broken onto the scene with his workout videos which seemed to have swarmed across social media to the extent where it’s impossible to not encounter him on a daily basis.

Colchester United season overview: A season of highs and lows

It was a 8th place finish this season for Colchester United in League Two in the 2018-19 season, McGreal’s men were just one point off 7th with 70 points, if they had finished there the final play-off spot would’ve been secured. When comparing to last year it is certainly an improvement with the U’s finishing 13th in the 2017-18 campaign with 62 points. I asked the Colchester Gazette’s Jonathon Waldron about his take on the season as he has watched United throughout the season covering every game.

Fabrice Pancrate celebrates his first and only goal in Newcastle colours in a 2-0 win over Watford at St James’ Park on December 5th 2009.

I hope for this to be the first of many articles on this website in which I shall remind you of a player that perhaps you forgot played for Newcastle United. Fabrice Pancrate is someone who I genuinely forgot about until I was reminded by Newcastle’s Twitter page of his goal in a 2-0 victory against Watford (that was actually a very good strike) back in December 2009. This was his only goal for the Magpies and he was released at the end of the season with a total of one goal and two assists. So with that in mind, let’s find out what did happen to Fabrice Pancrate and where is he now? Continue reading “Forgotten NUFC Players: Fabrice Pancrate”
