Declan Howe
Declan has Recently Moved to Scunthorpe United, after a Good Couple of Seasons at Gainsborough Trinity. Did Ilkeston give him a Consistent Run in the Team? I don't seem to Remember him having lots of Game Time?

Re: Declan Howe
From memory I don’t think he did, didn’t seem to be anything special at our place.

Declan Howe's first game for Ilkeston was Sat 26 Aug 2023 in the 4-1 defeat at Bradford Park Avenue.
He then played two days later on Bank Holiday Monday in the 4-2 home defeat against Whitby
The following Saturday he came on as a second half sub in the 3-0 defeat at Mickleover in the FA Cup
He then made another substitute appearance in a 2-1 home defeat against Worksop on Sep 9th
On Sep 16th he was an unused sub in the 1-0 win at Basford
So Declan had only a short spell of playing at Ilkeston and unfortunately the four games he played in were all defeats.

Re: Declan Howe
Yes he did not stay long at Ilkeston but has not stopped scoring since! When I used to update the scores every time Gainsborough scored my spell checker automatically corrected what ever I typed to Howe. We certainly missed out with Declan. Can you think of anybody else who slipped through the net? I used to think Kevin Bastos was one example of a player who we did not see the best of!

If we are going back in time what about Leon McSweeney left us to go to college at Loughborough then ended up at Leyton Orient!

Re: Declan Howe
Just remembered Steve Buckley played as a young winger at Ilkeston and off loaded to Burton Albion then via Luton to Derby where he played a million games and became a legend!
