Wotts Happened to the Years?

Time marches on relentlessly, though, and - 491 games, 66 goals and 20-plus years since his debut - Wottsy is now responsible for passing on his considerable knowledge to the current generation of Pilgrims, as first-team coach at Home Park.

As club photographer Dave Rowntree's pictures - taken the best part of a quarter of a century apart - show, it is not just the position in the traditional 'sign-here-and-give-us-a-smile-for-posterity' photo that has changed.

On the left, the young teenage Wottsy commits himself to a lifetime at Home Park, watched by youth-team coach Peter Distin and first-team manager David Kemp; on the right, the older and wiser Wottsy welcomes former apprentices Callum Hall and Louis Rooney to the professional ranks this week.
