Shirt reaches Basra
Gary Rothwell sends this message of thanks from Iraq.

I wasn’t really expecting much, if anything at all, it’s pleasing to see that the club I follow and love are supported by such good and caring people as yourselves, it’s a credit to you all.

I wore the shirt all morning, forgetting any tactical doctoring I know. I was eventually ordered under pain of death by my sergeant major to remove the shirt, it is now protected in my rucksack until such time that I see fit for it to return.

I’ll take some photos at the earliest opportunity to show that it has not gone to waste.

Thank you for all your best wishes and good lucks, they were greatly received

Please keep up the good work, you are making us Hornets fans feel proud.

Good to see that Hornets came back so crucially against Oldham, makes up for the knockout stages the other year, sort of.

All the best

Gary Rothwell (near Basra)
