Took my wife for her Covid Jab at Seaton just and the volunteer who directed her got talking about football and he told me he was a Director at Eastleigh FC.We discussed various players and he was telling me what a lovely chap Joe Partington is.Liked him and think his best game was at Molineux in the early rounds of the League cup a few years ago. Great to think that even having a Covid jab and meeting someone you've never met previously the Gas was a topic of conversation.Lovely chap and he knew who we had today and was asking about JB.

What a nice time in the sun JP had with us and I remember him fondly.
He was one of a few professionals that played with us at the height of his potential. And appeared to express that on the pitch by always giving 100%.
One poignant memory was the DC converting him to playing right in front of the back 2 centre backs, especially to head away set pieces because Locks & partner weren't tall enough or good enough in the air....it became known as "the Partington position" in our small gathering.
