Torquay United: Super Gulls!

This was fun

The Forgotten Case of Martin Ling


It was a case that gripped the nation. A professional football manager walked away from court scot-free despite all evidence against him. It cause great controversy back in the early months of 2012. But whatever happened to Ling and his Torquay team. The Sun reveals all...

"GET THE FUCK IN YOU CUNTS!" Ling screamed as the jury found him not guilty. The nation was shocked. But Martin Ling walked away a free man, and back into his job as Torquay manager. But things weren't the same anymore.

Torquay United created a media blackout. There was no coverage about the club. Ling has never spoken to a journalist since.

Despite Torquay's explosive start to the 2010/11 season, all the off-field drama led to a collapse in form, and they scraped a Play-Off spot. But defeat to Torquay ended dreams of promotion. 

Ling remained in charge the following season, before being relieved of his duties after narrowly surviving a relegation battle. Ling has been unemployed ever since.

Without Ling the Gulls haven't fared any better, and now find themselves in the Conference, with seemingly little hope of returning to the Football League.

Unfortunately there were no members left at once leading football forum The Playmaker available for comment.
