    John Solako

    He started off really well when he joined and was called up by England for definitely 1 squad, maybe 2. Was a consistent player for a couple of years. At the end he appeared to have lost his confidence and told Strachan he wasn't fit to play. I remember a 0-0 draw at Sheffield Wednesday when he...

    Graham Taylor

    He said it during the World Cup qualifier against Holland when the referee didn't send off Koeman for a professional foul on Platt and then went to score from a direct free kick which ultimately knocked England out of the World Cup & cost Taylor his job

    Paul Telfer

    I thought Telfer had a problem with Salako & Whelan, something to do with Salako shagging Telfer's wife at Whelans house?!

    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    And instead spent £250k on Sandy Robertson. I think he wanted to loan Cris Marsden for another month before buying him despite the fact he had been brilliant so Stockport sold him to Wolves

Walked to the ground and they had a kiosk selling tickets on the day on the halfway line in 2nd tier for about £13 which at the...

    The Signings That Never Were

    After Gascoigne had played in David Busst's testimonial Rangers tried to do a swap deal for McAllister. I attended the London Supporters Club annual dinner at the end of the 1996/97 season where Richardson, Strachan & Jimmy Hill were guests of honour and I am sure Richardson mentioned it.
