Loads of ex players live locally. They move here and realise it’s actually alright.He was working as a rep for Gibs and Dandy a couple of years ago, used to bump into him quite often. Seemed fine then, and he did the occasional guest pre-match stuff at the KP. I assume he lives locally.
David Gibson used to live at Stoney Stanton where he was a postman, I still think he lives in that area. Colin Gibson lives in the West Midlands.Loads of ex players live locally. They move here and realise it’s actually alright.
Best of luck Gibbo.

I think Davie Gibson moved down to the West Country to live. Dorset or Exeter way somewhere. His wife did have a hair salon in Stoney Stanton when they were there.David Gibson used to live at Stoney Stanton where he was a postman, I still think he lives in that area.

I used to see Gibbo on his bike doing the post, this was years back though, 80's. They used to sort the mail at Shilton S.O. and then take the mail all bagged up by van to Stanton Post Office. Tom's wife passed away when she was in Hinckely Community Hospital, a mate of mine's missus worked that at the time and used to care for her, Tom was there every dayI think Davie Gibson moved down to the West Country to live.

I used to speak to Tom Sweenie everyday when we both worked at the Stoke Aldermoor Plant in Coventry (when it was Chrysler before Peugeot). He was still playing for Lockheed Leamington at that time. Later on Tom introduced me to Jimmy Goodfellow in the Cross Keys pub in Barwell one night when I bumped into them both. Last time I spoke to him was in Sapcote Co-Op a few years ago. He still looked fit and well.
I’ve seen and spoken with Kevin MacDonald in the bar area of the Toby Carvery in Enderby as it was then (not likely now as it’s become one of those grossly overpriced Miller & Carter Steakhouse establishments). He was a coach at Aston Villa at the time!
Tom was doing his shopping in Sapcote Co-Op on his own and I just happened to pop in for something at the same time as I was passing on my way home. We had a longish chat and Tom loves talking football.I used to see Gibbo on his bike doing the post, this was years back though, 80's.
