Dev at the Bev

Next season, if Maidenhead are relegated, as seems likely, and if he remains their manager

Just my opinion but Dev oversaw the best and most exciting times of my 45 years watching Hampton. The football wasn't always pretty (and I supported West Ham as a kid, where Dev was idolised for his dazzling play) but my goodness we were hard to beat. Great times.

Could have Wealdstone back too.

Huge win for D & R.

Have a signed West Ham shirt framed in my bedroom from when he was Hampton manager.

Top manager and top bloke too

Gary McCann narrowly missed out on automatic promotion with Billericay and will host Dover Athletic in the play offs.

Remember Yaks put them in and Lovett kept them out

Yaks and Hodges up front...what a combo. But there wasn't one member of any of Dev's Hampton sides who didn't work their socks off.

On the topic of Dev, it was good to see Rob Parris at the game yesterday and have a chat and photo with us.

Truro v Carlisle will be a game to miss next season. 870 mile round trip.

I wonder if Dev will continue as manager if Maidenhead are relegated.

I had wondered that...can't see him being sacked but at the same time he must be getting on a bit now and you wonder just how much he is really up for another year of slog at Maidenhead.
