One of the greatest guys in football, you're lucky to have him. Will run himself into the ground for you, incredibly good in the air for his height, and knows where the goal is. Hope he helps you stay up!
Excellent news for all concerned I think. Gaz is giving the Shrews some games to remember and I think he'll keep them up. Wheels will be a useful addition.
Great guy. 100% committed to the team. Will play anywhere. And one of the best headers of a ball we have had in long time. The kind of player who will galvanise a team and get them to stay up.
That love will only grow. He built something incredibly special at Wycombe and I think Shrewsbury is exactly the kind of club where he can do it again.
Malone, I have been lucky enough to play with and against several Wycombe Wanderers players.
Dean Morgan has been the first not to be supportive. We "randoms" are a decent 6 a side team, 3 of us very long term Chairboys.
Dean was playing for a very good team that have generally beaten us over the years, we played exceptionally well and won, being a good athlete/player often goes with being perceived to be a bad loser.

And great anecdote!
Pretty amazing playing against an ex pro, let alone an ex Wycombe player.
Seems odd to have an attitude playing against a bunch of randoms though.
Not a suitable fit for coaching in our Acadamy then!!
I would simply have a poster in our Academy that says 'Be more Darius and less Dean'
Understatement!!
Delighted with this!

Thanks good result for you guys and Wrexham losing. Hope you seal promotion. Even if we go down we are in good hands with Gaz.
Good to hear, he's got plenty to offer at this level for a while yet
I was just wondering today what Wheels was up to next. Another reason to follow Shrewsbury's games/results!
Shrewsbury now remind me of my 'ex-Wycombe' games on football manager!

I hope you stick with Gareth if you do go down. You won't get a harder working manager.

We are VERY lucky to have him here. We had no right to appoint him, fans fully behind him and locally spotted in Town with fans engaging with them.
Well loved already.
