This week’s FFP

[andi renson]

While I found this week’s retro article on Flyers v Panthers really interesting, the bit on players who have played for both clubs was not accurate. It states that there is an exclusive band of eight players who played with both clubs, but I reckon there are a few more that have been missed. I can’t remember Jimmy Spence or Neil McKay( before my Flyers time) and remember Neil Abel, Andy Linton, Fred Perlini, Todd Bidner, Frank Evans and Mike Jeffrey, but can add the following to the FFP “exclusive band” list.
Steve Moria, Scott O’Connor, Mike Bishop, Steve Roberts, Dan Ceman and Jonathan Weaver all played for both teams. While appreciating that O’Connor only played one game that I can remember( not including Kestrels in the British League) and Bishop only played twice for Flyers it is disappointing that the others were missed.
It is frustrating that a paper that at one time could be relied upon for usually accurate info about Flyers, has published an article which has not been researched properly.
This is the second time this season that the FFP has stated that Mike Jeffrey played only 14 games for Flyers, when including Autumn Cup games he played 23 times scoring a ridiculous 51 goals and 70 assists.
Not thinking that I have got them all.

Add Robin Andrew. He's off the top of my head. Would need to rummage for any others.

Forgot about him. Remember him playing for Panthers and forgot about him with Flyers. Another one before my Flyers time.

Do not waste my money on that rag anymore, it's just a paper for the editor to self indulge, never anything interesting or groundbreaking about flyers ..all old regurgitation of stories and inaccurate history.
Really has went downhill

The FFP is exactly as you state and some of the Flyers stuff is woeful although I do think Matt Elder makes a good stab at being the current reporter. The old stuff is cringey and often inaccurate as has been said already but yet Alan Crow believes he is the historical oracle on Flyers who appears in the media every time we’re featured nationally.

When they came up with that ‘top 75’ list of our greatest players a few years back I just gave up!
