When he's not bankrolling trips to Spain or pub teams to 9th place in the Northern Premier League, Bradford Park Avenue (1988) Ltd chairman Robert Blackburn, or 'The General' as he is known to a bunch of basement-dwelling internet freakoids, is generally found supplying - unofficial internet websites dedicated to relegation-threatened Boston United with hilarious answers to an irregular A-Z series.
