Club gaffer and one time "Every Second Counts" contestant, Rob Martell has been given the thumbs up from a very unusual quarter this week. Speaking through his website www.lesdennis.com the pint size entertainer dubbed the southerner a "breath of fresh air" when asked about Martell's managerial style. He went on "...have known him since he was twenty nine- smashing guy and the kind of football manager you'd want to run through brick walls for - well would run through them if he asked at any rate".
Visitors to the site (which includes a Dustin Gee tribute and video clips of Russ Abbott's Madhouse among other things) can read the entire interview in which Martell is cited as one of the main influences on the lanky comedian's career as well as seeing a harrowing account of how the ageing midfielder helped Dennis through his messy split with actress Amanda Holding.
