Former U's 13:45 - Feb 26 with 18111 views | RSCOSWORTH | We love our former U's, well most of them anyway, so thought I'd start a thread where we can keep up with them. Thought I'd kick things off with a happier moment for Matt Jay in Essex as he scored a long ranger against Chelmsford at the weekend. It wasn't a joyous return though as Torquay shipped two late goals to lose 3-2 after leading 2-0. https://youtube.com/shorts/xl29_SKGGEA?si=rUZN5ZOwqYouYha_ Jay also got the equaliser away at Weston-super-Mare last night. Hopefully he's starting to enjoy his football again. [Post edited 26 Feb 13:55]
