Smashley

[ardenwasp]

Thinking of the awards yesterday got me thinking about Ashley. Surely he should have been given a proper fan send off at some point, given he was such a great servant of the club, or did I miss it? Or maybe even a way to get him to the big 200. Leaving under the cover of COVID was in no way befitting such a great longtime servant of the club, but understandable at the time. Did he ever get a Ivor Montlake Cap? He’s still playing/coaching in Moseley, so still in the area.

Stephen/Derek -  can anything be done here?

I've just been looking at his career as a Wasp, amazing. 198 appearances is definitely something that should be honoured.

I note that he left at the end of the 2019/20 season ie when everything was being affected by Covid restrictions so its understandable that there wasn't any sort of ceremony to mark the occasion.

As a thought, who else left then who missed out on being honoured?

Anyway, another +1 on the OP.

Another +1 from me.  Smashley was a great servant of the club and a massive favourite among the kids.  My 9 year old still talks about meeting him.

Still got the wig, would be another excuse to wear it!
