I try to avoid Deva Chat, but I will just say that I know somebody who worked with Michael Twiss after he finished his playing career, and he was quite proud of his time with us and talked about some fantastic goal he scored for us. I don't remember that, and the second hand details were vague. To be fair, and possibly controversial, I don't think he was bad as all that, but a disappointment considering his high reputation.

For the record, his post football job had nothing whatsoever to do with pies.

The fact he was Reeves' favourite strike partner speaks volumes

Well, he's only got nine goals in two seasons with Alty to choose from....

If l remember correctly, immediately after a Fleetwood fan shouted out that we were crap our goalie cleared the ball and their big fat centre half rose like a blue whale leaping from the ocean and totally missed it leaving Twiss to superbly lob their keeper and score a fabulous goal?

This must be the one...

From John Laidlar's match report:


ALTRINCHAM (0) 1 FLEETWOOD TOWN (0) 0

Blue Square Bet Premier

played on Saturday, 16 October 2010, at 3pm

A Fleetwood attack then ended with Coburn gaining possession and his long clearance found Twiss in the inside left position.

The Alty striker took the ball down well, turned and lifted a shot over the keeper into the net to record his first Altrincham goal (60 mins).

Alty's winner came out of nothing as a long ball up the middle from Coburn was well controlled by Twiss who took his goal expertly, lifting his shot into the net on the hour mark.

Yes that's the one. Unfortunately Mr Laidlar's report omitted the shout from the Fleetwood end and the fat centre halfs whale like leap

That corpulent defender was one Steve McNulty, now of York City.

There was a framed picture of that goal in the VP lounge until relatively recently.....it may even still be there.

As well as the goal against Fleetwood referred to below, Michael Twiss also scored an excellent goal at Bath City around October 2010 to put us 2-0 up in the 2nd half.Bath bombed us after that & England's Number 1 had to produce a brilliant save in the dying minutes to enable us to come away with a 2-2 draw.

I remember that game at Bath City very well, I feel, including Stuart Coburn's save, which was one of the best I have ever seen, as Bath came storming back.

I have somehow managed to erase Michael Twiss's goal from my memory, though. That probably says something about how memory works and how we remember the efforts of good players and the mistakes of poorer ones. Maybe.


Still, he seems to have scored more brilliant goals than he could even remember himself in his conversations with his workmate.
