Dave Tarpey

The most obvious example of “poetry in motion” through a sports clip I can think of is @7tarps scoring THAT goal for @MUFCYorkRoad against @dartfordfc on December 17th 2016.

One of the non-league greats in this county over the last 10+ years. Neil Maskell interviews Dave Tarpey. Interview in full: bit.ly/4qDFe9p

@MichaelEacott @BracknellTownFC Unbelievable goalkeeper. @BracknellTownFC loss is someone’s gain. One of the best goalkeepers in step 3

After 4.5years and almost 200 games, my time at @BracknellTownFC is up. From celebrating league success to back-to-back FA Cup runs, but just falling short in the play-off’s. It’s been a pleasure to represent the club ❤️ BigMike

𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 Another three points and the unbeaten streak continues! 🚂 Thank you to everyone who came down to support the teams today 👏 #ThePrideOfReading 🦁

That's now 4 games unbeaten for the Cityzens, the City express keeps chugging along 🚂 A fantastic result here in Oxfordshire #ThePrideOfReading 🦁

@CallumHallett6 CF1. Dave Tarpey. 44 goals in a 42-game season. Simply ridiculous. In terms of raw finishing, he has to be considered the best this level has ever seen, and I don't think we will see another CF reach his levels in terms of output (Maybe Pearce...) An absolute monster.
