Bon Jour, jolly Jacks and Jills.
Join in the jollifications and jostle with joy or juvenile jocularity. Jitters and jinks will jolt the jowls of journalism.
Yes, it's Week J in our second round of jaunty CHAOS jetsam.
Off we go, it must be easy to beat last week's miniscule offerings.
Edit:- Gazza has thrust the Mantle of Brilliance onto my shoulders this week, so I will be selecting this week's best posting. Cheers.

Jarkko.
No not that Jarkko, I'm talking about the nickname of our favourite Norwegian export.
Originally a young fan who just listened to us on the radio he finally fulfilled his dream and saw us live in a 3-2 derby win at Wembley no less. Many more games followed but he never saw us win again until March 2013 when he finally saw us beat Newport 1-0.
His next league match was also a win, 2-0 Vs Oxford City, a thoroughly nice guy and a truly devoted County fan. Whilst many of us begrudge travelling from as far afield as Reddish or Poynton, he really goes the extra mile!
Father to a beautiful daughter, manager of a football team and a teacher. There is no doubt he is one of the biggest county fans I know!

Great start Fudge. A legend on County Heaven already.

Seconded, Lennie. Excellent start, Fudgie, not to mention a fitting tribute to an extraordinarily dedicated County fan. We're sh*te, he knows we're sh*te, but he still travels all that way to watch matches, Jarkko is truly one of us.  |

John Keeley:
Very rarely 'mentioned in despatches', but nonetheless an excellent stopper for us during his short time with the club. Coming in for Neil in the 93/94 season, I had my doubts, not least because Neil is one of my all-time favourite County players. I knew he had some pedigree, as he'd had a spell as understudy to Stockport's very own Jon Hallworth at Oldham Athletic during their remarkable time in the First division/Premier League, but I still wasn't convinced. My concerns were short-lived however, because his ability soon became apparent With some fantastic displays between the sticks, he went on to help us to our fourth and final appearance at the old Wembley Stadium, the less said of which the better I'm sure you'll agree.
He may have only been with us for a short time, but some of the saves he pulled off for us were worthy of any of the great keepers I've seen in County colours. York away in the play-off semi-final first leg was one of note, soaking wet day pouring with rain, he kept a clean sheet in that vital 0-0 first-leg draw with a string of fantastic saves.
We've had some serious class in the number one shirt over the years, and he was one of them.

Any chance of a place for John Kerr (RIP) in that side, or at least sub? 16 goals from just over 40 games in the 80's. A proper striker and sadly missed. |

Excellent shout, Rog.

Yes, Rog. I had thought of John Kerr, but left him out on the basis of neither having seen him play, nor being familiar with his achievements. And I certainly wouldn't have subjected him to sitting on the bench with the three wasters listed!:-)
Great shout, though - as would be John Keeley, Gazza.

Another nomination, but definitely as no more than a sub...
JOHN Miles
That should further enhance 'epic bantz' on the bench!
