Brilliant post Sean, saw Des at today's game, with his wife and children.
Good luck Des, like many ex fax players I think he will remember his time at Fax with affection.

That 98 season seems a long time ago, good memories, all the best to the Clarks....lucky buggers.

As above, managed to have a quick word and a hand shake on the way out and wished him all the best.

One of Fax's better imports for certain.

Top bloke supported the club as an ex player, cheers Des and all the best mate.

Good lad is Des

Anyone else remember the war paint he used to wear under his eyes in some games?

No
