Quite possibly the most famous Aldershot fan in Central Florida.

Currently in the UK. Went to see my gran in her nursing home this PM.

My dad & son went to grab her a cuppa & came back said there was a singer in the lounge. Dad showed me a pic & it was Terry Owens!

Of course, we chatted Shots! This wasn’t on my bingo card this morning! 🔴🔵

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@ScottyLorimer10 Exactly my first thoughts. Solid shirt but a tad underwhelming considering some of the bangers we’ve had in recent years.

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@OfficialShots My first game 🔴🔵🔴🔵

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@OfficialShots Great interview 👏 Great to get so much business done early. Quietly optimistic

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@SteveGibbsPR @FIFAWorldCup I wonder how many Ex-Shots players have been to a World Cup?

Teddy Sheringham and Oliver Bozanic are the only two I can think of off the top of my head!

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

Thank goodness for that

[Scott Davies @scottdavies1988]

@calzb88 He hasn’t signed for Farnham.

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@ShaunBrown995 Ashley Akpan? He still with us?

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

Thanks for the memories 🥹

Are there any of our Wembley crew still with us? 🔴🔵🔴🔵

[Aldershot Town FC @OfficialShots]

The club can confirm that we have agreed an undisclosed fee for Josh Barrett to move from Aldershot Town to an unnamed club for the 2026/27 season and beyond.

I don't think there's a Shots fan out there who doesn't agree that what Josh did here at Aldershot Town was magic! Having recently joined the Shots 100 club, Josh accumulated over 40 goals and assists for the club in that time.

A couple of the many key moments in a Shots shirt, include a beautiful Boxing Day free-kick against rivals Woking and his hat-trick against Oldham Athletic in a 3-1 away win for the Shots.

Needless to say, a huge part of our Wembley success, where he scored an absolute screamer in the final to make it 3-0 to the Shots, a moment I'm sure every single fan will never forget!

Shots manager Scott Davies had this to say "Firstly, it’s a huge thanks to Josh for what he’s done for this football club during his time here. From afar I have always seen that Josh has been a fan's favourite in the way he plays the game and admire his undoubted ability as a footballer.

Josh made it evidently clear that with a young family, he wanted security by having more than one year left on his current contract.

From a club's point of view, it was difficult to offer Josh a new and improved deal at this time so we’ve reluctantly accepted an offer from elsewhere.

We thank Josh for his time at the club and wish him well in the future".

He's got magic in his boots, he bleeds red and blue, Shots fans, join us in thanking Josh Barrett for all his efforts during his 2 and a half years here, once a Shot, always a Shot!

Ahead of a massive trip to Wembley, a shout out to the Dale fans who travel the length and breadth of the country to support the team.

Somebody on the Aldershot forum pulled together a chart, showing we have the highest % of our home support going to away days in the league 👏

A busy day at the office 😉🔜

‘I’ll give them better next season’.

This was 48 hours ago! All the signs were he was with us going forward. WTF has happened in that meeting this afternoon?

[BBC Sport Surrey @BBCSurreySport]

"The brutal fact is the players aren't good enough...the fans deserve better, and I'll give them better next season."

Aldershot boss John Coleman was furious with his players following the Shot's 2-1 loss to relegated Brackley Town.

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

It’s never dull being a Shots fan 🙄

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

@TommyWidd @robincarder @ScottyLorimer10 More importantly, Tommy….is Rosey winning the green jacket in a few hours?

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

A season to forget. A real shame we haven’t been able to kick on from our FA Trophy success on and off the field.

Clearly things need to change in the summer. Roll on August 🔴🔵🔴🔵

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

One year since this banger 😂

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

The best 24 hour round trip I’ve ever made! 🔴🔵🔴🔵

[Aldershot Attic @shotsremembered]

One year ago today, The Shots faced Woking in the FA Trophy Semi Final. The biggest game at the Recreation Ground in a generation

In front of 7,058 - Aldershot Town’s 2nd highest ever home crowd - James Henry and Jack Barham send the Shots to Wembley for the first time ever

[Darren Connor @DCon_85]

Love this. He is right and those are standards he works to. Even we are pretty much safe, he outlines that today’s preference wasn’t acceptable 🔴🔵🔴🔵

[BBC Sport Surrey @BBCSurreySport]
