Have spent time in countless chats with this incredibly personable guy over the decades. A VERY easy bloke to like.
A blow to Scunthorpe and to the Iron.
Best wishes to his family.7 users thanked author for this post.
She should be in the next Honours List.

There’s two main issues where Elliott is concerned: 1) Obviously enough – how much? and 2) Will/would he be played in a team designed to create scoring chances?
Interspersed into these thoughts, we may wonder about playing both strikers together.
Played as he was last season – it would be both expensive and nonsensical to keep him.1 user thanked author for this post.
We have seen enough to know that Whitehall has what it takes if played in a workable system. Frankly, I suspect that there are many managers out there who could get the best out of Elliot.
How many would not like to see that duo turned into a forward partnership? There may well be 50 goals (fitness allowing) to lead our season into a real title challenge.
I suspect that there will be many similarities in the team from last season to the team in the next.
Those who think that there will be a host of our better players leaving may well be surprised.
Clearly, monies have already been saved with yesterday’s news. The new manager will take the job basing it more on the possible building of a reputation rather than the grasping of filthy lucre.3 users thanked author for this post.
I have been looking for a perspective on yesterday.
Felt the reffing was up to the standards to which we have sadly become so accustomed over the last season.
I never really felt that Boston were gonna score. I thought we might.
‘Losing on penalties’ really was the tag for that match.
We lost because when Beestin was assaulted in the box. Mr Kettle was not bright enough to know that this is called a penalty.
Furthermore, when DW met a superb through pass and was cutting across the box to attempt an angled drive across the GK into empty space on his left, a defender put two hands onto his upper back and clearly toppled him over. Definitely no hint of a dive.
Mr Kettle did to us what so many other refs have done this season.1 user thanked author for this post.
Has it been a learning curve for JD?
If we feel that we are headed for more of the same next season – then enough is enough.
If he has learned from experience – and for me the evidence is not overwhelming that he has – he should keep his job.
The trouble is that a failed 2nd place was probably unacceptable given the quality of our squad.2 users thanked author for this post.
What? More than 100% – the maximum possible?

I spent ages considering Chris Hope. Matt Elliott was certainly a class act too.
