This thread does remind me of two years ago when I seem to recall posts saying that King was playing too much hardball with Gyokeres and that he'd kill the transfer to Sporting and Vic would walk away for nothing in 12 months.

Twenty minute intervals!

While we’re on the nostalgia kick, anyone else in the BC years (before Ceefax) used to phone up the ground to find out the score?

It was the (non) signing of Franz Carr that cost me (my Dad).

Does every thread have to get derailed by people doing obvious wind ups? Bloody school holidays.

Seems the exact opposite. Investment in the training facilities and bringing in experienced senior management.

The worry is that those innocuous looking injuries often turn out to be bad ones.

Very sad news. RIP Matt.

Apparently the number came from the ticket office.

Thanks Pete.

Pretty sure that Fergie got our goal that day. Think it made it 4-1?

Good point - missed that and it was Hutch as well!! Don’t remember the all red, but sounds plausible against a team with blue/navy shorts.

Think it was red shirts and blue shorts?

No, Derby was in the September (IIRC) and WBA came a few weeks later.

Think it's the other way round. If I've got it right, we offered to buy him for £5.5m, but they said they didn't want to sell, but a year's loan is being agreed instead.

It's been reported that a Championship club offered £5.5m for Rushworth and it's been suggested that it was us.

He missed that one in the last minute away to Barnsley at the start of the post Covid season. Was never convinced by his penalties after that, but you can't argue with his record at Sporting.

Category A+ ticket sales.
