Torquay United are currently in free fall in what feels like a managed decline.I don’t know why people buy football clubs if they just want to kill the football club,Well I do know but I just try and have more faith in humans. This piece gives some clarity on the situation. #TUFC

For 79 unbroken years, Torquay United were a proud Football League club. Now, thanks to a doomed stadium plan, declining results and a refusal to communicate with desperate supporters, they have reached their lowest ebb. And fans are angry.

A special moment… some 30 years ago I was working alongside renowned horologist Derek Roberts in Kent when we held the definitive exhibition on Skeleton Clocks to coincide with Derek’s book published on the subject. We had dealings with Hal Cherry, one of the great collectors.
